The new school year for the RLCF 4-H Discovery Club has started strong!
In October, the 4-H Discovery Club students enjoyed a hands-on workshop led by local artist and teacher Paul Wolfe. The group explored the art of sculpting by creating their own monster eyes out of air-dry clay. The kids were excited for this workshop and got very creative, making a wide variety of eyes once they knew the ropes of working with clay. We were fascinated with their ambitions and how impressive their work came out.
In November, the 4-H Discovery Club students explored the world of Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI Art. Recent RLCF Resident Morgan McCullin led the discussion, then guided the students through a collaborative art popcorn exercise where they swapped work with each other. Working from multiple perspectives, they took turns building upon one another’s ideas, swapping their papers along the way to create their own unique pieces of “generative art.” It was a fun opportunity to explore creativity, collaboration, and how generative AI art compares and contrasts with art made by people.
