Category: 2014 Gardening Class

march 8, 2014 – week 2 of the gardening class

Today in the gardening class, we talked about environment, what it means, and about the importance of the environment for Haiti. After we organized an art course when the kids drew some plants and animals which is part of the environement. Each child made ​​a drawing and talked about what they put into their drawing and what it repressents for them, just to see what they understood about the class. At the end of the course, the children watered what they had planted in the first class.

 

Jodi a pou klas jaden an nou pale de anvironman ,kisa anvironman an ye ,tou sa ki fe pati anvironman e ki enpostans yo genyen pou peyi a . Apre nou fe yon bel kou desen avek timoun yo,ki baze sou anvironman an. Chak timoun te fe yon desen e pale de sa yo te mete nan desen yo a , jis pou we ke yo byen konprann klas la. Epi nou te fe timoun yo rouze .

We’ll need about $5K so let the community collaborative idea engines begin revving.

2013 – Melissa SCHILLING

My name is Melissa Schilling and I am the Creative Director for Project HOPE Art.

There are so many wonderful moments from the last year that bring me such great joy to relive.
We taught Rothko-esque painting, weaving (both hair pompoms and dreamcatchers) and a big upcycled can car project. We participated in many different Photography Shows in Port au Prince and in California with Student Photographs from our Photography Class and my own documentary photos.

We also created rainbow eggs infused with Moringa Powder to coincide with a reading of Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham for our Art + Literacy program.

And yet, so many exciting projects are waiting to be executed in 2014. We have a Gardening Class with accompanying Rabbit Husbandry Program and the makings of a Ukelele Class. Who knows what other ideas will suddenly appear like magic!

Cheers to you 2013 you were an awesome year!
