The digital group was split into three sections including the photo, logo, and web site groups. The photo group took pictures of events in the YAAW program using programs such as Photoshop to digitally restore them. The logo group created and designed a logo for the YAAW program. The web site group made the first ever YAAW web site!

The mural group's goal was to make a mural that emphasized the growth, development, and future of Toledo. The mural is being placed at Promenade Park right on the river!

The YAAW Garden Group partnered with Toledo Grows and the TenEyck Community Garden located on 21st and Jefferson. The group's goal was to make the garden look more creative and beautiful for the residents who garden at TenEyck. The garden group was split into three smaller groups including the mini mural, sculpture, and bench groups. The mini mural group will be making two small murals out of items such as bottle caps, pop cans, and vinyl records. The sculpture group is making a sculpture that uses rain water to create sound and at the same time, water plants, creating a visually interesting piece. The Bench group is making a bench and mosaic art on a bird bath and stepping stones.

Poetry

David Bush led YAAW apprentices in exploring poetry and spoken word performance. The poetry sessions were based on helping the apprentices express themselves, vent frustrations, and learn how to perform their poetry in front of an audience with confidence. Mr. Bush stressed the importance of things such as posture, tone of voice, and facial and body gestures. He encouraged the apprentices to practice multiple exercises on expression. Mr. Bush is guiding the apprentices toward submitting their poems for the Art in TARTA contest, where an artist's work is published on a TARTA bus for public display.

Video Documentary

The documentary group was a handful of YAAW apprentices that interviewed staff and other apprentices about the program. They made a documentary about the program explaining, how the program works, what the goal of the program is, and much more.

Dance

Dance sessions were held once a week for 1.5 hours. The ethnic dances taught were centered around African dance and African culture. Other cultures studied included in the class were Brazilian, Indonesian, and Indian dances.

Individual Art Projects

The individual projects were made by the YAAW apprentices. The projects included things such as miniature murals, collage, painting with text using poetry, altered books, thank you cards, glass art, stenciling, relief prints, Photoshop pictures and more. These projects were done periodically throughout the program.
