Mundo Lindo has started up again for the school year!
The 4th & 5th graders are 'nominated' by their teachers, and given applications to join Mundo Lindo. The class is limited to 20 kids. We had 22 registered before class...and another 9 kids showed up, applications in hand. So, we had 31 students!!
Thirty one kids. That's a record! Gee, do you think there's a need for a free after school art class? We didn't and won't turn anyone away. Look at these wonderful, talented, sweet kids!
We drew and painted in watercolors, from the birds and flowers I brought in.
Thank goodness, Tomoko Kuta, Director of the Education Department, was on hand to help, along with my husband, Don. Did I mention, 31 kids?
And, with extra paper, the kids made a little sketchbook to take home.
You gotta love this. He titled his book himself.
We have a new volunteer, Eric, the older brother of one of the students. He's in the 8th grade.
Mundo Lindo is a free, after school art program, held on Thursdays from 3-5pm every week through out the school year, for 4th & 5th graders in Escondido, CA attending public schools. It's held at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido.
Mundo Lindo is a grant and donation funded program, and we really can use use some additional financial support. If you can, please donate here.

WOW, they are very talented artist. What a great program:)
Amazing talent there!
Awesome! Great idea using small sculpted birds as models.
Children's art is about as precious as you can get...and you have provided happy (he)ART spaces for 31 little Muses! Bless you Jane! ♥
Jane, this is so terrific! What a great opportunity for these kids. It will be fun to follow their art in coming years - and I would suspect that they will always look back on you and Don as some mighty special people. These kids are really talented! Wish I was one of them.
