Arts Enchantment School Visits in Bowling Green, Ohio

Artist/author Melanie Stinson wants to visit your school. She has incredible stones, magic art cards, helpful lessons, and cool moves.

Melanie attended Crim School in Bowling Green, Ohio, as a child. She would like to visit Crim School with her arts enchantment experiences. She looks forward to going to other schools in northwest Ohio.

You can have Melanie come to your school by telling your teacher, parent, or by commenting after this post. Make sure you put your school, what grade you’re in and your teacher’s name, so Melanie can contact the right person.

Melanie also needs your help. To do school visits, she takes time away from her regular “jobs.” She wants to help out schools, so she is in a program to help raise money by tax-deductible donations so she can visit schools free of charge to them. Most authors and artists charge $50/hour and sometimes more for their visits. They also include travel expenses like gas.

Click here to learn about a way for adults to help Melanie serve the schools through sponsorships. Children can contribute pennies or dollars and give them to an adult to contribute to Melanie’s fiscal sponsorship. Everything helps defray the cost of what Melanie does.

The Stories of the Stones – Day 1

Today, we embark on a journey. Journeys are often called Quests when they bring a sense of adventure and magic.

Today’s stone has a story to tell you and it will begin to tell you its story here, but for you to make it your story, too, you may need to touch and hold such a stone or another of the stones that will be speaking at the POFFF sometime soon.

BLOODSTONE. Stone of courage.

Sometimes our fears stop us from being who we most wish to be–fearless, strong, able to do anything we set our hearts and minds on.

Courage is the ability to act, not in a way that will bring you into danger, but in a way that will allow you to move through something that may have been stopping you. You may be on one side of a rickety bridge or a narrow passageway, metaphors or another word for how everything feels right now.

Bloodstone can be your shield to carry you through a difficult time. It can be a stone that looks deep red, red-brown or some mixture of colors.

Bloodstone is a legendary stone. It has been held in high regard by many ancient cultures throughout the ages. Some believe that it was formed when the blood from Christ’s wounds fell from the cross and stained the earth around Him. It is believed to have powers over wounds and illness, healing our bodies, minds and spirits.

Bloodstone is here now. It comes as a friend to help us better understand the earth.

It can be part of your quest to follow the yellow brick road to the place where all magic happens and all beings learn how magic they really are. It is a place called Home.

1. What’s a four-letter word that means to “Mend” a hole in your sock? _ _ _ _-it.

5. How would you pantomime that four letter word with your hands? But what about with your feet? DO IT NOW with your feet. But take your _ _ _ _ _  off so you stay standing rather than slip-sliding away.

Well, that’s a start.

Just what are ACTION SENTENCES?

A string of action words – those that make you move in any direction – up, down, low, high, forward, back or side to side – in a special way. You could also move in place and you might do it with rhythm or a special kind of timing… fast slow… really quick or sloooow-motion.

Before you read more, see if you can think up a few Action WORDS and pick your favorites.
