Ninez

We thought it would be a great idea to run a project that got families spending some fun time together, for the children to show their parents what they have learnt in art club and for the parents to learn a bit of art too. For this project we worked with the children in our Nueva Prosperina group, together with their parents and siblings.

The theme was 'Ninez' which means childhood. The plan was for the parents and children to share their experiences of childhood with each other, where they lived, where they worked, what their favourite possesion was.

The first week of this project, we taught the children a range of different techniques including mono printing, collage and painting.

The following week the whole family came along. It was a session with lots of colours, paint, glue, noise and general madness. But we believe it was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

It was great seeing the families working together, a few of the JUCONI eduactors commented on what a good idea it had been.
