Reflection by Mission Year Intern with TAPH, Cynthia Javaras
The art class ended another rotation this past Tuesday December 18, 2012. The students have journeyed through various trips to Museums, enjoyed a couple of watercolor workshops directed by a local artist, and learned new skills including working with fabric. Below, are the individual celebrations and experiences of the art students.
“Ever since we went to the museum of contemporary craft and saw the fabric art exhibit I have wanted to stitch. Now I don’t want to sketch, all I want is my needle and thread.”
(Eric) a participant who is currently working on a fabric piece with the words “Be encouraging to one another”
Ms. Carolyn is a student who is very fond of the scripture John 3:16 and has continuously looked for new ways to place her stamp on new materials. This art class rotation she started to paint!
“The art class is a relaxing environment for me.”
(Gerald) a participant who has inspired the class with his dedication to his school work along with his commitment to the art class.
“ I enjoyed the trip to the Fine Arts Museum because in the Egyptian exhibit showed how writing to them was a sacred practice, and I enjoyed that because I am a writer.”
-(Kellie) a participant who is a extremely gifted writer, lover and brilliant caretaker of words. Be on watch for some of her pieces soon.
“I like to draw peaceful places (including mountain and beach scenes) because I want to go there myself.”
-(Chris) a participant who is currently a resident at Knowles-Temenos apartments and volunteers daily at the Bread of Life, Inc. as a way to give back.
Each of the students have unique passions including writing, sewing, painting, drawing, poetry, stamping, and collage. Despite these differences of skill and craft, the class shares a genuine spirit of thankfulness and gratitude toward one another. As a way to mark their willingness to commit to the process of healing and being empowered by art, each member of the class was handed a “Certificate of Completion" and was photographed by one of the participants who picked up a box camera for the special day.
Smiles all around.
Special thanks to Marie Noack, Roz Grimes and Pastor Simeon L. Queen for their leadership, support and love of each participant in The Art Project class (therapeutic art and empowerment 5-week rotation class of TAPH).
