Bwat Aluminyom | A Project by Fanel Duce

Can Race

1: Pou reyalize yon timachin avèk meteryèl resikle, men ki tip de materiel nou itilize nan atis Rezistans.

Materyèl sa yo nou itilize pou nou kapab fe ti machine yo gen anpil ladan yo ke nou jwenn nan la rue, e genyen ladan yo tou se achte nou achte yo. Mamit nou itilize yo se penti pou douko ki te genyen ladan yo, apre yo fin pran penti ki nan mamit yo, yo jete yo nan la rue epi nou pran yo pou nou kapab fe ti machine yo.

Premye travay nou fe nan mamit lan, nou retire papye ki kouvwi mamit la pou nou kapab jwenn plis fasilite pou nou fe tout sa nou genyen pou nou fe nan nan mamit la.

mamit lan. apre sa nap ouvwe mamit lan, nap bap li ak yon mato pou li kapab vin plat tankou yon fèy tol.

Pati sa se lè mou fin byen plati matit la, kounye a nou pwal trase model machin nou vle fè a, e le ou vin trase model machin nan wap pran yon sizo pou kapab koupe li.

Nan pati foto sa yo nou pwal moutre ou kijan pou fe do machin nan! Le ou fin trase de bo machin nan, kounye a wap pran yon lot fey tol pou kapab trase do machine, ou dwe trase vit devan machin nan ak vit deye machine nan. Le ou fin trase li wap koupe pati ou trase yo pou kapab resoti pati vit la.

le ou fin retire pati vit yo, ou dwe bay tol la fom model machin ke ou te trase a.
apre ou fin trase de bo machin nan, avek do machin nan. Ou pral kole yo ansanm pou kapab kadre machine nan.

le ou fin kadre machine nan, kounye a ou gen pou travay anba machine nan, le mwen di anba machine nan mwen vle pale de reso ak kawotyou machine nan.

Pou kapab fe reso machine nou itilize yon ti fe plat, ti fe plat sa se avek li yo konn klanmse bwat pèpè yo.

1: wap koupe fe a ak yon mezi ki pa dwe depase machine nan

2: apre wap kloure li nan moso blanch lan

3: nou dwe itilize fe sèso ou byen fil alegati ki di pou kapab pase nan reso a pou ka genbe kawotyou yo.

Pou nou fe kawotyou machine nan, nou itilize yon ti boutèy plastik.

Prmyeman nou koupe li, nou pran de bouda a, nou kole 2 bouda yo ansanm pou li kapab vin pi dyanm.

Can Race: Apre tout demach sa yo, men rezilta can race la.

Folk Pumpkins

We love practicing art projects with local kids using discarded materials. In this case, we made folk art pumpkins from newspaper, scrap paper and leftover yarn & twine. Imaginations unite!

The kids and I had a frank discussion about all the different shapes, sizes, colors, textures and types of pumpkins. It was really sweet for everyone to come to the realization that there is not a perfect pumpkin and each and every different pumpkin had its endearing qualities.

Then we stuck our hands wrist deep in glue and shaped our own special folk pumpkins from newspaper. Once they were dry we used yarn, raffia, crepe & tissue paper to create multi-textured finishes.

I super love getting messy with these little loves.
Be sure to post on our facebook page, photos of your own homemade folk pumpkins!

It’s not too late to do this at home!
You will need:
Tissue paper or paper towels
Scissors
Non-toxic glue
Paint brush (to spread glue on the paper and help keep your hands clean too)

Directions:
1. Start by crinkling newspaper into a ball to create your desired pumpkin size and shape.
2. Crinkle newspaper to create a stem shape.
3. With the paint brush, spread glue around the top of the pumpkin and glue the stem part to your pumpkin figure.

Tip: Experiment with paints and glitter to create a more colorful or festive look to your pumpkin. You might try painting the stem or creating patterns and mixing colors.

PhotoPhilanthropy Visual Essay Submission, 2012

Bleak Landscapes and Grim Living Conditions meet your arch nemesi:
Vibrant Color, Laughter and Creativity.
This photo essay follows a group of American artists through the slums of Port au Prince and into schools, hospitals and orphanages. In their war against despair the best weapon of choice is intentional whimsy and purposeful joy.

Project HOPE Art is comprised of a colorful cast of characters that appeal to my inner child. They work fervently to heal and inspire the children around them. I choose to photograph this organization’s journey into the Third World because I love their efforts, compassion and artful endeavors. They sing. They dance. They laugh. They create beauty from trash. They insert hope into eyes. Inspiring people to not give up or give in. But to laugh and appreciate what is and to make it through another day.

All of my photographs are used to populate the Project HOPE Art web media to tell stories of art upcycling, vermicomposting and dance workshops. This year I am working on my first illustrated Moringa Tree gardening and cookbook. This book will contain upcycled art and agroecology lesson plans, Creole recipes and actual Moringa seeds so each child who receives the book will have a grasp on nutrition, soil cycles and healthy eating. Science and Art really go hand in hand.

Several things are required to stay alive: water, food and shelter. Project HOPE Art provides the things necessary to be ALIVE: laughter, joy, ideas, color and vibrancy.

During my first trip to Haiti, in January 2010, I captured more than 5,000 images for Project HOPE Art. Together we turned those images into a book about PHA’s programming.

Now we have decided to collaborate together on a gardening cookbook, entitled “There Grows The Neighborhood.” The book’s first edition will travel down to Haiti in January 2013 filled with children’s recipes, food paintings and gardening photographs.

I will work on a second edition of the book, with a professional illustrator, to be released in January 2014. This edition of the book will encompass The Growing Gardens Guide, Vegetable Planting Guide and Container Garden Activity List — but also include a handwritten story accompanied by characters like Mardochee Le Magique Moringa and her best friend Herbie the Worm.

Through Project HOPE Art’s Visiting Artist Program and local collaboration with Haiti NPO – Haiti Communitere, I will also be traveling to Port au Prince to photograph a collection of artistic projects each quarter of 2013. My plan is to photograph alongside Project HOPE Art for as long as they will tolerate my intrusive camera lens.
