Picture
I love this picture of an activity we did with the high schoolers where we asked them to show us where they see beauty in their community. The question was very open and abstract on purpose. We wanted to leave room for all walks of creativity.  

Watching the girls collaborate and communicate was so special for me. They decided to lead us around the coco loco property and pick and explain different flores to us. It was great because we found a common connection with the beauty of flowers. It was also a conversation that I could engage in with the level of my spanish regarding flower colors and smells.

After picking all of the flowers, they then decided that they wanted some shells from the beach. What they created using the flowers and shells together was truly remarkable. I stood in awe as I watched them piece together each flower and shell with purpose into this work of art. The pride they felt in their finished product was so evident. I loved being a part of this bonding, and creative outlet experience.
