Enriching Lives

The Newberry Arts Center has impacted the lives of many, but especially that of middle school teacher Amber, and her 8th grade class.

Many of Amber’s students are not given opportunities for extracurricular activities, but thanks to the Newberry Art Center Field Experience, Amber and her students got to try things many of her students had never been exposed to before. On their first trip, the class got to observe a potter’s wheel demonstration that locked in her students’ attention and provided them with a wealth of knowledge. Amber says the Newberry Arts Center has given many of her students the ability to take pride in their work and build their confidence when trying new things. She even notes the unexpected benefit has been her very own enrichment from the experiences.
