Horizon/Diversion Houses

In addition to the balloon sculpture (see previous post), the combined residents of the two houses also did an oil pastel project describing how their week had been. Here are most of the girls (some of the Horizon House girls had to leave for embroidery training, and one had a job interview at a nearby mall - great and incredible developments for these girls who were on the streets only a short time ago!).

Balloon Sculpture at Diversion/Horizon Houses

Young Mi, our friend from LA and an artist, visited during August. She introduced a number of innovative ideas for activities - one of which is this balloon sculpture done by the girls of Diversion and Horizon Houses. We had some other activities, but the balloon captured their attention!

Autobiographical Artist's Book

Young Mi led this Saturday workshop that led to some precious sharing at the end. This was first art making experience for one of the participants. You simply will not be able to identify which one it is despite the fact that most of all the rest of the participants are practicing artists!

Sewa Ashram

 We were privileged to visit Sewa Ashram again, this time in addition to a portrait painting project with the residents, we were also able to include some children from families at the Ashram and from a nearby slum in the portrait project and in a fun follow up activity.

Make Up Kids Painting Class

Due to massive rains and resulting electrical transformer failure, our final Kids' Class was re-scheduled for Saturday August 7. Here are some scenes from the class which is taking place while a Print-making Workshop is also going on and preparations are in process for a Reception and Exhibition of the July Art Classes immediately following the make-up class and Workshop! Whew! A busy place and time!
