This is so wonderful to be a part of the beta testing of the new website. Not only is it a great way for there to be interaction of all those involved in the project but will make it so much easier for the production to continue moving forward and so the interns don't commit suicide. ;-)

Welcome to The 1 Second Kid Blog~ The purpose of the 1 Second Kid is to teach kids how to use diffrent forms of artistic expression to express thier emotions. Who do we need? We need parents, mentors, teachers and anyone eles that works with kids to join. How you can help? Start a 1 Second Kid group in your area, school or study group. What does a 1 Second Kid group do? A 1 Second Kid group has kids use a form of artistic expression to tell the story of thier most important moment and how they felt during that moment. What forms of artistic expression are allowed? ALL!! Dance, poetry, painting, sculpting, drawing, photography, song writing, singing, playing an instrument, making a video, writing a script, short story writting, and on and on. How will this help The 1 Second Foundation? After your group finishes their projects have an exhibition of talent. Display works of art in the program and throughout your venue or school. As part of the exhibition have readings from short stories, act out the scripts, sing and dance. Collect donations, Charge a small admission maybe even auction off the works of art then donate those funds to The 1 Second Foundation. I will be working on an award system for all that particapate and am open to ideas of things the kids would prefer stickers, car window stickers, Award ribbons, Certificates or art supplies. Welcome and please post when you start a group or if you have any questions or want to give us some updates so we can give your kids the kudos and encouragement they deserve!
