Paint It Forward!
What is Paint It Forward Nevis?
Description of Nevis Art Camp for Kids
Art camp will teach small children
language of art, art of painting; and
life lessons along the way. We will
hold an event exhibit for the children
to display their works of art. Works will
also be chosen for the Internet Childrens'
Art Gallery. Chosen works will be created
into childrens' cards that will be available
for sale. Proceeds will go into a childrens'
art fund that will help run the program the
next year, and a portion to begin a savings
trust for the youth.
Objective
An artistic experiential program that
enables the empowerment of children
through Art and Life Lessons; an artistic
experience that will teach children what
art is and how to create value with art.
Outreach
From village art experiences and exhibits
to Internet Art Gallery, creating art as art,
gifts, cards, etc. to sustain the program.
Needs
Room, tables, easels, paints, pastels,
charcoal, pencil, paper, board, fixatif,
brushes, medium, wood, helpers to
assist art creation, helpers to make exhibit,
helpers to arrange community art reception
for children, food and drink.
Curriculum
Understanding Art. How does it help my
life? How does it affect me? How does it
affect others? Children will learn Techniques
for Expression, Observation, and Abstraction
Six Lessons
Learning the language of art:

While teaching art, we also teach Self
Esteem, Awareness of the world we live

3. Creativity
4. The Joy of Giving
Framework

Home, Whom I love Best, Creating Unity.
Children work individually to create pieces
of a total Exhibit Results & Consequences:
Creating significance and direction in a
child's life. Creating a community based
platform to empower children to experience
success, recognition, and self esteem, while
bringing the community together.
