When Laura Leichter, our Education Fellow, came to The Bascom in May, we knew her experience would be like no other. Though COVID-19 has disrupted some of the normal responsibilities for this Fellowship, Laura worked under the direction of Billy Love, Director of Education and Outreach, to develop new programming in response to the pandemic.
From those efforts, The Bascom is proud to launch our remote learning activity called Take and Make.
Take and Make will provide a structure and resources for families and individuals to get outside, learn something new about the world around them, and use easily found materials to create a simple or complex artwork inspired by what they learned. The goal is to give all ages an opportunity to get their hands dirty and to get creative with simple objects usually found around their homes.
Take and Make offers “to-go” packets with accompanying print lesson plans and instructions, along with online video tutorials that provide instruction and insight into each project. The kits are available for pick up at The Bascom, and libraries in the Fontana Regional Library System. The library pick-up locations are key because they will provide supplemental reading materials to accompany the kits, and access to technology and internet service for students and parents to explore the reference materials found in each Take and Make kit.
So come by The Bascom (Tues-Sat. 1-5pm) or visit a library in the Fontana Regional Library System to pick up your own Take and Make! Stay connected with The Bascom by subscribing to our newsletter at thebascom.org or follow us on Facebook or Instagram.
