"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.

MY ART FOR THE KIDS!

‎"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." Albert Einstein:

Have a glance of the uploaded 2D AQUARIUM, A BEAUTIFUL SEA WORLD ON PAPER!.....This is a master piece of underwater creatures created by Kg 2 kids of KPA SQUARE, Ibadan City, Nigeria. I had the kids created visual expression of tropical fishes and their creations were later developed into a 2D Aquarium mounted afterwards on the wall of the school as mural art.

BRINGING ART TO BEMA HOME, ABUJA, NIGERIA

The Art project with Volunteer Africa at Bema Home, Abuja, Nigeria came to climax with an Art Exhibition on Friday 6^th January 2012. For me, doing this not for the money but for the passion for the Art and love I have for the kids, it was a huge accomplishment in my journey of humanitarian job to see the smile on face of these kids at the Art showing. The overall objective of the project was to provide a platform for therapy and empowerment through visual art for the kids at the orphanage home. At BEMA HOME, we achieved this far beyond our imagination; I shared a passionate moment creating Art with the kids without age boundary, turning the playtime of the younger kids into creative engagement, and proving the older kids with basic skills in art as an empowerment. The joy this brought to the kids at Bema Home and the less privileged young ones in Piwoyi community, Abuja made the sacrifice and the time worthwhile.

A 3 YEAR OLD GIRL CREATING HER OWN ART!

My passion for helping kids to create their own art, develop and harness their God’s given talents in visual expression is taking a new dimension. Until now the art engagement was considered to favour the older kids, but my tenderness and patience through the creative process has ignite in the 3 year old girl the enthusiasm to create art. Working with VAFRICA has presented her the ample opportunity to create her own art, turning her playtime to an art activity. See more images of Peace’s studio practice on:
