This Week At Emily Lupita Studio – An Interview With The Youth Museum:
I had the wonderful experience of being invited to The Youth Museum here in Marietta. This non-profit museum is located near Marietta High School in a beautiful and serene forest park full of lovely trees. Ms. Anita Vannice, the 2014 Auction Co-Chair, was a wonderful host and showed me around the museum.
I donated one of my original Lupita watercolor paintings for the silent auction at the museum’s annual fundraising event this coming weekend. I chose the “Lupita with Pink Dragonfly Wings” painting because children love bright colors and this is a very bright & joyful Lupita.
The Youth Museum, Marietta, GA – Interview
Thank you to Ms. Anita Vannice for this great interview!
What is the mission of The Youth Museum?
The Youth Museum is a non-profit educational resource center offering children the opportunity to learn about significant historical, social, and cultural events through instructional activities which integrate arts and education while emphasizing personal involvement and participation.
To arrange a tour for your class, please call the Youth Museum at 770-427-2563. We do 2 tours a day (weekdays only), 9:30am and 11:30am.
Students who come to the Youth Museum will see and participate in historical events that led to the eventual winning of our independence. This is done through skits that are integrated into the story being told by the costumed docent. Students will see and participate in historical events such as protest meetings, the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere’s ride, the writing of the Declaration of Independence, the Battle of Yorktown, and the writing of the Constitution, just to name a few.
The performance comes in when students get to put on costumes and portray actual people from this time period in our history in the format of a small skit that is acting out an actual historical event. When we train the students for their skit, we also get an opportunity to talk about their particular person and also fill in some details regarding the event. This one-on-one interaction along with the performance and watching of the skits gives texture to the material students learn in the classroom. It gives the history more context and shape so that it is no longer just facts read from a book.

The annual fundraiser for the museum is coming up soon. How can people get involved with the fundraiser to support the museum?
Sending wishes for a beautiful week ahead,
