Week 4: Imaginative Arts

(We are new to Vanguard so this is my feeble attempt to open a discussion this week.  Input is welcome!)

This week we are focusing on Imaginative Arts.  Some of us may have been reading from the following books: Heidi, The Lost Prince and/or Writing Magic.

Vanguard this week will be completely student led!  We will start with our usual Vanguard opening led by Hyrum.  Then we take turns sharing all of your wonderful Imaginative Art inspirements, based on Heidi or the Lost Prince - or anything else you might be inspired by!

Look at your Vanguard Core/Crust sun - are there any skills you want to develop in the Imaginative Arts section?  This is a great opportunity for you to work on those skills!  What does "Imaginative Arts" mean to you?  I started brainstorming a couple of ideas in the video below, but don't limit yourself to these...





If you would like to, and have time before we meet tomorrow, start brainstorming and create an inspirement to share with all of us tomorrow!  If you don't have time (like my kids who are still busy completing their other school work), that's ok!  Just show up tomorrow and we will leave some time at the beginning to work on creating one, or for anyone who is already prepared to finalize their preparations.

So, our schedule for tomorrow will be:

10-10:10ish - Hyrum leads opening (song, prayer, pledge and Vanguard motto)
10:10-10:15 - Final preparation time for everyone (if needed)
10:15 - Start Presentations of Inspirements
