We Care Arts helps local high schools

Have you ever wondered what programs We Care Arts provides every week to our clients? We want to share with you about the many different classes and programs available. Some of the teachers go out into different high schools, nursing homes and other mental health facilities to teach art classes to youth and adults with special needs. We have a couple of special education classes from local high schools come to our main facility every week to learn and create art. 

I recently interviewed one of our art teachers Diane Zubrick who teaches an art class to the special education students from Centerville High School every Thursday at 9:30 am. During the interview, I learned that the students enjoy many different artistic activities such as working with clay, painting and sculpting. 

 Diane has truly noticed how this art class has helped the students improve their self esteem, especially when they create a piece of art they are proud of and enjoy sharing it with others. Throughout the class their moods greatly change in a positive way. Many of the classes have come for several years. Diane expresses her passion when she says, "I really enjoy seeing them mature and grow in their art." She continues to emphasize how creating art truly helps them when she says "some of the students go to work at at Meijer after class. I feel that creating art puts them in a good frame of mind to perform better at work." 

It is a true honor for our staff and volunteers to contribute to the lives of individuals with all abilities through art.
