This saturday,April 12. The Garden mentor works with the student: Impotance of vegetable in human life .He gives them a list of vegetable such like. Tomato,cabbage and more …What parts are consumable.And what vitamins they give.
For the Art class ,the Student work with Mimi on a new desing which is “Cyanotype”. The studentare very exited to do new things.
In the Art Class, this 5th April 2014, we draw a pot that contains a seed of tomato in it. And, another pot that contains a seedling in it. We draw this because the garden mentor was talking about seeds and their lifestyle. As usual, the student draw successfully. The class was absolutely brilliant.
It’s always the most exciting part of class: the art class . The children are always keen to draw. To day we continue with the series of food the rabbit can eat , and food it cannot eat.
For what rabbit can eat, we drew habitats, Grassland.
For what rabbit cannot eat we draw a tomato.
The class was very satisfying, the students were very laborious.

Shrine’s advice to the children of Bwa Nef . . .
“Forge ahead. Do other stuff with sticks, rocks, bricks, feathers, bones, tires, car parts, jars, dirt. Get some paint, scissors, string, pliers, wire, cardboard, a pencil. Now your ready to be free, put the dirt in jars, see if that makes sense. Make your own sense, nay sayers be dammed. put seeds in the dirt to make even more sense, add water. Add water to your heart, shower of love, see if it grows. Forge ahead.” -Lead Artist Shrine
Painting a wall: To paint a wall in the style we did, start by drawing a shape that inspires you on a piece of cardboard, cut it out. Using chalk, outline the template to draw your shape on the wall. build up a design using the same shape. Add new shapes. If this sucks then draw right on the wall following your hearts desire, abandon the template. watch lines come out of your hand, laugh, smile, continue. Paint in your shapes or drawings. Do not pour the paint on your friends head. Do paint designs on your shoes. Don’t worry, if your not thrilled with what you painted you can always paint over it.
Plastic bottle, can, lid, Garland: First collect some trash, now look at it. Look at it differently, see if there is something beautiful there. Look at everything thrown away differently. Look at it like you just bought it in a fancy store, marvel at its design. Every Plastic bottle, every can and all the other packaging you use was designed by somebody somewhere. Cut off the label, Make a hole, add some paint, string the items on wire, make loops at the end of the wire. Hang it up, have a small party.
Plastic Water Bag Tassels: Carefully cut the bags open and sew together, cut into strips, make a loop on one end. Smash bottle caps, make a hole, put the loop through the hole. If you don’t have a sewing machine, tie strips of plastic together from water bags or any king of plastic bag.
‘Shrine’s entire art practice is about making the dead and discarded objects of the ordinary world live whole new lives as fresh-faced stars of a new visual culture. He calls that visual culture the Empire of Love, and if it had a slogan, it would be “Art from Trash,” advocating ambitious dumpster-diving as a serious form of design for a legitimately sustainable society.’
