ANN TAECKER VISITS
THE YDC

ann taecker
Visual artist Ann E. Taecker conducted workshops for local childcare participants as part of the South Dakota Arts Council’s Artists In Schools & Communities program. The artist worked with various ages during the residency in Aberdeen from December 29th to the 31st.

While here with us at the YDC, Ann had the children drawing characters from the famous “Wizard of Oz” to correlate with the building. She then transpired the drawings onto canvases for the children to paint. She took little details from multiple different pictures to come up with the characters that we wanted to portray. Ann visited us last year where the children completed 5 canvases. This year Ann took on 6 canvases with the wicked witch canvas that was done by the staff. The children enjoy everything that Ann does with them and we had such a wonderful time with her.

This program is sponsored by the Aberdeen Family YMCA, with support provided by the South Dakota Arts Council with funds from the State of South Dakota, through the Department of Tourism and State Development, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

We are looking forward to the next few months!  Staff is busy sharing ideas and planning events that will take place before the end of our school year.  April is a big month!  Don't forget our super-duper amazing Family Spring Carnival on May 1st!!

We are also planning and putting things into place for the summer months!  We even have our planning started for our all new, all natural, play space were the children can garden. 

As you may already know, spring is when many children make a classroom change to the next age classroom.  This is when we do a large move of children.  We do move children to other classrooms at other times of the year as they are ready for the next stage of development but spring and fall are our big moves.  If your child is supposed to make a move you will be getting information soon!!
