Help Us Start a Unique Art School For Kids
Donation protected
We are a dynamic duo of artists, educators, and sisters, who immigrated to the United States in 2015 to pursue our Master of Fine Art. Upon arrival here, we began working with children, taking care of them and teaching them art, and now we want to take all those experiences to a new level and start a unique art school!
Our school is all about creative and interdisciplinary curriculums that teach art, and we are starting with the course “Emotions through Art” which is meticulously designed to teach kids social emotional skills through an expansive variety of art practices and processes. Our goal in establishing this business is to assist young children in understanding, regulating, and expressing their emotions through art, play, creativity, and exploration. Our website is still under construction. But to learn more about our art school's unique curriculum, please visit our website . (For now, only on the desktop please!)
Our deep passion lies in nurturing the creative minds of children. Our inner child is alive and thriving, guiding us to embrace the joy and wonder that art brings. With a playful and experimental approach, we strive to ignite the imaginations of young artists, encouraging them to explore new realms and express themselves with boundless freedom.
We firmly believe that art is the primary driving force of a culture, but its importance is often misunderstood and neglected. Arts programs are continuously being stripped away from our schools, which not only has a harmful impact but also poses a danger. Without engagement in the arts, children (and future adults) have less ability to reflect on their experiences, ask important questions, express their perspectives, act on their feelings, and ultimately develop a community that is driven, happy, resilient, and capable of challenging the status quo. Restricting activities such as play, creation, sharing, and critical thinking during the crucial developmental period of children's growing minds leads to a society of adults who struggle with ambiguity, fear failure, lack critical thinking skills, and are susceptible to radical political rhetoric.
This fundraising initiative will assist us in purchasing essential materials, furniture, art supplies and marketing tools to kickstart our business. Any support you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for being a part of this journey and for your love and support.
