Here are a few pictures of the firing processes the Hearts for Haiti go through to get ready for sale at the museum! The first quarter 6th grade art students worked hard to make lots and lots of hearts to raise money for students at
Art Creation Foundation for Children. Like last year, the efforts will continue with each new art class.
I am very excited to report that I am in contact with a number of other art teachers both here in Howard County and in other states across the country in
an effort to grow this project to a national level. So far, the vision includes an easy to access web page with everything an art class or any other interested group would need to self-start creating Hearts for Haiti. The school in Jacmel is interested in created Art Rewards for participating groups.
Beautiful handmade pieces of papier mache artwork, created by the students in Jacmel, would be sent to groups who create and sell certain numbers of hearts. If anyone reading this is interested in getting on board or has ideas or expertise in crafting such programs, please contact me!
