Nearing year end, we ran a series of workshops that focused on being thankful and giving back to others, so we empowered communities through art and also taught animal welfare. Through painting featuring various types of species of animals and their current status, we will then sell the artwork and donate funds back to animal rescues. The "Advocacy Through Art" series welcomes us to learn about a new world and empowers by kids (us) channeling their artistic talents to make a positive impact on the world.
We created the curriculum so that everyone knows that they are also capable of helping others. Art in any medium can be utilized for much more than self expression and self help - but also to make the world into a better place. Nothing is more empowering than being able to rise others up. This year our series used upcycled frames and went the traditional route of observing and painting various animals. We started in Miaoli (youth with disabilities) introducing hamsters leading into Wanhua highlighting attention needed for senior dogs, understanding and not fearing snakes, then had seniors get cuddly with adorable rabbits. We will wrap up the series later in March introducing cats to our indigenous youth in ChingChuan. Thank you for your support in helping kids make a difference in the world!
Please check our presentation attached for more details on work we have done in this period; from the Advocacy through Art workshops (4 and counting); year end gingerbread classes, afterschool education and meals, and plant-based essentials to 25 indigenous families in Taiwan.
