I volunteered with
this art program over the summer and taught this group of youngsters (6-8 yrs
old) how to paint /personalize their very own bamboo pencil cup holders.
They were very excited to create something different and functional. It was
also a good opportunity to introduce the kids to sustainable materials that we
have on the island. I like teaching art classes where kids get to explore, have
fun but also create functional products that they can use in their everyday
life! Not all children in the Caribbean have access to art classes or
materials so just sharing supplies to experiment and play with is just as important. We must continue to encourage young children to learn and express themselves through art.
