Special patterns :)

Hey friends
I am volunteering these days for START - a non profit organisation which uses art as a medium to
heal, educate and enrich the skills of children in the poorest areas of Middle East. Here in Dubai it runs workshops for children with special needs including Autism and Down Syndrome.
I am volunteering as an artist and taking workshops at Al Noor School for Special Needs.
I am extremely happy to share with you all a few pictures of the amazing work done by the kids.




Beautiful pattern by one of the girls at the school.



little hands creating the magic




She liked to do it in a triangle !




This one looked like a rug :)





proudly presenting...:)





absolutely neat :)


don't miss that cute little hand with perfect pink nails :)



she was fast enough to finish two !!



one stroke at a time :)

Believe me...it does bring joy to their faces and seeing that , I feel fulfilled !!

Now is the turn of my work this week !!

 I did this abstract piece on textured paper



in mixed media




I like the way the paint shines here




the texture of the paper enhances the work :)




this is the final picture 
and I can see a dancing figure here...
celebrating life !!

What do YOU see ?

    I absolutely adore kiddie's art, and while teaching for 43 years, I saw a lot of it- the openness and innocence always takes my breath away. Happy PPF.

    I can totally see the dancing figure - I think your abstract is so lovely. It must be so rewarding + inspiring to see the wonder in those little eyes as they create. I would love to do something like that. x
