My Life as a Robot
Taught by Elaine Reed
Ages 8-10, 15 students
Tuesday, August 4, 2009 (one session): 6-8pm
If you’ve stopped by the Liberty Street Robot Supply & Repair (and if you haven’t, why haven’t you?), you’ve seen Rightbot, our amazing robot that sits in the front window and cycles through a rotating cast of students faces in its head. In this workshop, the artist who made that robot (and painted the gorgeous robot portrait in the store) will show you how to draw a robot. We’ll look at examples of different types of robots as we make robots that are reflections of ourselves. After our drawings are completed, we’ll write short stories about our robots, and our lives as robots.
Elaine Reed has been a volunteer at 826michigan for the last year. She’s become the “official” artist for our Storytelling & Bookmaking field trips. She’s a professional art teacher who works with many elementary afterschool art programs in Ann Arbor. She’s also a part time special project assistant to the Gifts of Art Program at the U of M Hospital, and a program coordinator assistant to the University of Michigan Turner Center for Geriatrics. She enjoys mixing creative art with creative writing, and loves working with children of all ages. Most importantly, though: “SHE LOVES ROBOTS!”
