Children's Workshop at Marte Museum

 

Last August I had the pleasure to run a workshop for children of Victorino Ayala School in El Salvador. Thanks to the support of Vamos al Museo Programme, the children, who were coming all the way from La Paz, were able to visit the Museum of Art from El Salvador and had a lovely creative time creating some bird masks inspired in the Torogoz bird - El Salvador's national bird.

Gracias al apoyo del Programa Vamos al Museo los niños pudieron visitar el Museo de Arte de El Salvador y tuvieron un tiempo muy bonito creando unas máscaras inspiradas en el ave del Torogoz, el ave nacional de El Salvador.

Art sessions for children at Wimbledon Park

Me showing the Iguana

Elena is of course part of the group and my inspiration!

Every Monday afternoon me and a friend are running activities for children at Wimbledon Park. I am in charge of the arts sessions. What's special about them is that they are completely in spanish, targeted to children of spanish speaking families, who like us, are living in London and whose parents want to reinforce their language, creativity and spanish/latin culture. Today we learned letter "I" for Iguana, Isla and Indio.
