Adventurers: Session 3 “Big Rocks” and Challenges

Giving Quest
This session’s Quest covered the topic of giving and noticing others. The Eagles returned often to the idea of Me/We/Everybody and watching out for those around us.

Challenges: 
  • As a squad, design a Random Acts of Kindness game to play during the session.
  • Research local, national, and global charities to get a feel for what charities do, who and how the help, and where.
  • Design your own charity! Who or what do you want to help and how?

Questions:
  • What are your big goals for your charity? How many people/animals do you want to help?
  • What was the hardest part of starting/planning this charity?
  • Why should I care about your cause or want to get involved in your charity as opposed to another charity?

Poetry Writing
​The Eagles’ Challenge was to write an original piece of poetry.


Art Criticism
During this short session, Eagles spent time researching a well-known artist and picking their favorite pieces by that artist, and putting together a short slideshow on their artist. They also learned how to use the Feldman Method to "read" and critique art.  At Exhibition they will be sharing their artist presentations and walking Exhibition guests through the Feldman Method so guests may also be able to "read" art.

Questions:
  • Why did you choose this particular artist? What attracted you to their work or life story?
  • Why is this particular piece your favorite? Why do you like it?
  • How did the Feldman Method help you understand or "read" art better?
