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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjFbbMz8qSWJYbvf8Hn8jaFUlLiD_7LBtNGd_Cyw3414ScvEYZDmQtojlaZo_rU-G2tvO6F2gzK_jylPx6-Eb6gNm5LTDb6WPT7Sa6vvppGuvSYFnPLa3DHEQmmbHUtMctq4WpP48iZf1CWWe22eU_yIEHD-CH-9dcnDGBOIKg9Ua4WzUElxxTeZ1L/s1008/Venezuela.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="792" data-original-width="1008" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjFbbMz8qSWJYbvf8Hn8jaFUlLiD_7LBtNGd_Cyw3414ScvEYZDmQtojlaZo_rU-G2tvO6F2gzK_jylPx6-Eb6gNm5LTDb6WPT7Sa6vvppGuvSYFnPLa3DHEQmmbHUtMctq4WpP48iZf1CWWe22eU_yIEHD-CH-9dcnDGBOIKg9Ua4WzUElxxTeZ1L/w400-h314/Venezuela.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="background: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><p></p>Stacey Byerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09641236746718570488noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699009770734705997.post-62321217610343817252022-09-15T06:07:00.006-07:002022-09-15T06:07:47.987-07:00Summer art camps with Reach Grenada (2013 -2014)<p> <span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"> Through funding from <a href="https://www.reachwithin.org/" target="_blank">Reach Grenada</a> I got the opportunity to

As usual I found Grenadian kids to be exceptionally talented. They are
engaging, full of ideas and not afraid to push boundaries, which of course
resulted in some really imaginative creations!<br />

the illustrator, I'm really excited about Fun Crab going to Grenadian schools
so our young children will have access to books designed with Caribbean
children in mind. As a literacy tool, Fun Crab has the potential to help
strengthen a reading culture in Grenada using fun, familiar imagery and author
Mario Picayo's clever rhyming story. Fun Crab is modern because it is
multifunctional and topical (promoting counting, reading, and environmental
conservation from a very young age). To support these learning features,
companion learning materials were created in the form of 60 Fun Crab
Number charts and 70 Species charts for distribution to the schools.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 9pt 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQUHIdDV56dZsaGmaXtAQdlu-X9o4P3YV7P4kNmWH9foPKK5NcjauXcFRDuKit1EGedkI6Eg0hUtIpafx7W8VlJYxFeo9VclfSrRLVzRZcOCn4PCkSiuQcyz9yuhDmk2O3rNZFPu65XmdEUorHK9lv5DIlIC7lPR6U37GetyAOeiKZnl8yn67j9siu/s576/funcrab3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="343" data-original-width="576" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQUHIdDV56dZsaGmaXtAQdlu-X9o4P3YV7P4kNmWH9foPKK5NcjauXcFRDuKit1EGedkI6Eg0hUtIpafx7W8VlJYxFeo9VclfSrRLVzRZcOCn4PCkSiuQcyz9yuhDmk2O3rNZFPu65XmdEUorHK9lv5DIlIC7lPR6U37GetyAOeiKZnl8yn67j9siu/s320/funcrab3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx4tOANwHJbv5tfKNzCvKoIs-QQ1JC8Wfln3sbPP_FLvVC44eUxjxvIfNMGCNd_mPoBPTsJ5mLcyPB7WAGkyvSvYH8ABuP8_18vsn1lyZTljyfABMTUjCIJMqQX8yOpkodFURB1DIuM0ztiQladZp-QDxPlpxS1nnB-5LfA095Yf6pS5BZ08Hum3di/s432/funcrab4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="352" data-original-width="432" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx4tOANwHJbv5tfKNzCvKoIs-QQ1JC8Wfln3sbPP_FLvVC44eUxjxvIfNMGCNd_mPoBPTsJ5mLcyPB7WAGkyvSvYH8ABuP8_18vsn1lyZTljyfABMTUjCIJMqQX8yOpkodFURB1DIuM0ztiQladZp-QDxPlpxS1nnB-5LfA095Yf6pS5BZ08Hum3di/s320/funcrab4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "sans-serif"" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #050505; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br /></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9IgFd3vgFf3_RzF3PfWYy-hQT0440z_OKUorrORoTgafdCBsU2fnmT7jcw7UAG9vHJ9sM_b22jvpzKKeC-oOCW8w1FmeVhPobXfJDDntVc5186Hq4VriTE4gI5Ziy255_3JI9JTg1q4EhZUg9HKF5HvtaNzQcNzIUsMOl-dXzwxeiEEDLdgv_fOLM/s851/kids.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="315" data-original-width="851" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9IgFd3vgFf3_RzF3PfWYy-hQT0440z_OKUorrORoTgafdCBsU2fnmT7jcw7UAG9vHJ9sM_b22jvpzKKeC-oOCW8w1FmeVhPobXfJDDntVc5186Hq4VriTE4gI5Ziy255_3JI9JTg1q4EhZUg9HKF5HvtaNzQcNzIUsMOl-dXzwxeiEEDLdgv_fOLM/w640-h237/kids.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "sans-serif"" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 11.5pt; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "sans-serif"" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 11.5pt; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "sans-serif"" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 11.5pt; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 9.0pt; margin: 9pt 0in 0in; mso-outline-level: 3;"><br /></p>Stacey Byerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09641236746718570488noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699009770734705997.post-16067845640140094752022-06-22T16:26:00.003-07:002022-09-15T06:20:05.335-07:00I am special Exhibition (2013)<p> <span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Don't miss our ECIP (Early Childhood Intervention Program) art exhibition event at the Grenada National Museum.

children, not only because of the obvious fun factor but because of the relaxing,
educational and even therapeutic impact it can have on a young developing mind.<br />
So when the GNCD (<a href="https://sites.google.com/site/gncdspiceisle/" target="_blank">Grenada National Council of the Disabled</a>) contacted me about
doing an art session with the Harmony Summer Dance Camp (founded by Vanessa
Aird) I started brainstorming on what I can do with these young dancers.<br />
