RECYCLING WASTES FOR AESTHETIC, A COMMUNITY BASED PROJECT FOR THE KIDS

Kids imagine creating works of art from the used cans, pure water sachets, and all manner of rubbish littered our streets, in our dustbin or garbage disposals. The new media, eroding our garbage off the street recycled, re-use and reduce the volume of rubbish littering our environment. The other part of the project is known as D’ASOROGI (AN ENVIRONMENTAL ART). This philosophical title means “creating or wearing garments for trees. It is otherwise called installing garments on trees. Ordinarily, trees don’t wear clothe, but the natural bark. Some ugly at sight, some harmful if touched while few are fascinating and friendly, some are badly harvested by man for food or concoction used for natural health. By implications installing garments make trees wear new look, gives a sigh of relief to viewers and are drawn closer to view, appreciate or sit on them. Standing trees are installed together with seats all wearing garments. It could serve as aesthetics and functional where people seat and relax. The essence of this project was to encourage community oriented projects among the young ones. These kids offered to their community form of aesthetic 0btained from waste cellophane and logs of intended firewood.

"KENYA CHILDREN'S ART PROJECT" on my mind!

I am an artist-cum-art instructor, so passionate about art and helping the kids create art comes natural of me. An artist-in-residence program at the orphanage homes in KENYA will be another opportunity for me to nurture, empower, and harness talents and potentials of the Kenyan orphans and the less privilege kids.

Art is a veritable means of therapy; a creative engagement to numb pains, erase ugly
memories and help cope with the everyday challenges. It is also a vital skill acquisition in
empowering the youth. A week or more of engaging the kids in the Art can make a life time impact. I'm ready to collaborate with other stakeholder group to achieve this goal. Generous contributions from individuals are welcome. You may purchase any of my art works to support this course. The art works could be accessed on:

KIDS' ART ON SUNDAY VANGUARD NEWSPAPER

ART + THE KIDS: This is what I'm so passionate to do, helping the kids to harness their talents outside the four wall of classroom. Buy a copy of VANGUARD Newspaper on SUNDAYS, flip to the kiddies’ column, usually pages 30/31 for exciting kids' artistic creations. Art is a journey all kids would like to take, with this column; the kids have the chance to inspiration to explore their inner creative ingenuity. It is a platform and a road map for the kids into visual expression. Thanks to Aunty Funmi for giving me the chance to share my creative art class experience with other kids in Nigeria and beyond.
