Lindsay's Art Cart is an amazing Arlington based business run by former elementary school teacher Lindsay Whittenberg. (Her website can be found here and her Facebook can be found here!) She hosts private events for both children and adults and over the summer, she runs a summer camp.
My art education professor brought us this amazing opportunity to volunteer for her camp during the summer of 2019. It was being hosted (oddly enough lol) at a brewery in Arlington, Legal Draft. I volunteered to help the first and last weeks of her four-week camp. I learned a great deal from the experience including behavior management, supply management, problem-solving, and how to set up an art show. Not to mention hands-on experience teaching art lessons (grades K-6) that originated from her time in the art room. She even connected literature and other subjects in the lessons, which gave me great examples of integrated elementary art curriculum. Since my target grade level when I become a teacher is elementary, the experience was invaluable and I could not be more grateful for the opportunity.
