We are excited to feature Jack's art (age 6) for #BDOG2023. Follow us on social media and our email list for the story of his Jellyfish! Early giving has begun - schedule your donation starting today. bigdayofgiving.org/organization/d… Big Day of Giving #bigdayofgiving

Youth artists created jellyfish in a summer camp ceramics project. Our staff and teaching artists dove deep into jellyfish, resulting in a multilayered experience for our campers that highlighted the social-emotional aspects of art. Here is the jellyfish journey… #BDOG2023

Jack arrived to camp excited about art but a little reluctant to participate. Jack and the campers received their very own sketchbooks to experiment, make mistakes, practice, and keep a record of their ideas. #BDOG2023 Big Day of Giving Bigdayofgiving.org/davisartscenter

Jack began to draw jellyfish in his sketchbook, telling stories about where it lives. He experimented with art supplies and techniques. He learned what he liked and didn’t like without the pressure of drawing a perfect image. #BDOG2023 #bigdayofgiving Bigdayofgiving.org/davisartscenter

Jack was proud of his jellyfish sketches & the stories he shared about their seagoing adventures. Help us reach our goal of $25,000 today to bring more experiences like Jack's to youth throughout our region. #BDOG2023 Big Day of Giving #bigdayofgiving Bigdayofgiving.org/davisartscenter

We interrupt the story of the jellyfish to say, MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU! We are sharing a special Star Wars-themed Throwback Thursday to when Kazoom performed on Make Music Day 2017. youtube.com/watch?v=QfqN1u… #BDOG2023 Big Day of Giving Bigdayofgiving.com/davisartscenter

In the art studio, they watched mesmerizing videos of jellyfish. Soon they were pretending that their arms were like the jellyfish's bell and were mimicking swaying in the water. This movement calmed him before making art. #BDOG2023 Big Day of Giving Bigdayofgiving.org/davisartscenter

In the ceramics studio, Jack touched the clay and began sculpting the bell of the jellyfish body. Campers had lots of interests to explore. We had cats, dogs, pandas, hamburgers, boxes, and even Pokemons emerge from the kiln. #BDOG2023 Big Day of Giving Bigdayofgiving.org/davisartscenter
