KIDS ART: WAX COLOUR OF MAWEUPEGO HODUNU.

The story of Maweupego Oludayo Esther, Hodunu inspires innovation and creativity. She produces her own material, wax colours similar to crayons to produce her body of works. It is a unique lesson of
improvisation. Kids, there is so much to learn from this, you too can make your own materials.Get creative!

KIDS ART: FATHER AND DAUGHTER IN THE STUDIO

In the studio is Bowofoluwa Fahuwa and her dad working with oil colour medium to paint a butterfly on a canvas. God has given each child talent to explore either in Visual art, Music or Drama. Meanwhile these kids need a mentor and a conducive environment to help nurture their intrinsic talents. Showcasing the beautiful Butterfly as painted by Bowo Fahuwa on this web page, I believe will propel and inspire other kids to explore their talent in Visual Art.

KIDS ART: EWA OKIKIOLU'S FIGURE PAINTING

Children’s early years are a time of learning. But much more are also time of exploration, developing imagination and a sense of self. A wonderful way to explore, create and express oneself is through the visual arts. Parents and teachers can help their wards and students harness their innate abilities by providing a conducive atmosphere and platform for artistic engagement. Children love new experiences and to depict images and ideas based upon their experiences.

It is amazing to see Ewa Okikiolu engaged in her own creativity, smiling while applying colours on the drawn images of her and her brother, a set of twins playing football on a playground. She is so proud to share her art with the other kids across the globe.

D’ASOROGI (AN ENVIRONMENTAL ART) WITH THE KIDS

This philosophical title means “creating or wearing garments for trees. It is otherwise called installing garments on trees. Ordinarily, trees don’t wear clothe, but the natural bark. Some ugly at sight, some are fascinating and friendly, some are badly harvested by man for food or concoction or decoction used for natural health. By implications installing garments make trees wear new look, gives a sigh of relief to viewers and are drawn closer to view, appreciate or sit on them. Standing trees are installed together with seats all wearing garments. It could serve as aesthetics and functional where people seat and relax.
Here is Mr. John Adenle assisted by Lanre Tejuosho and Olusegun Adeniyi engaging the pupils from FCE Abeokuta Staff School in the art of decorative forms to beautify the public places. The essence of this project was to encourage community oriented projects among the young ones. These kids offered to their community form of aesthetic 0btained from waste cellophanes and logs of intended firewood.
