We will leach basic painting and <br /> drawing techniques, as these skills will help participants to express and communicate thoughts <br /> and feelings. <br /> The goal is to stimulate the participant's visual language, teamwork, and the sharing of family <br /> and personal stories. This activity will generate conversations about different topics such as <br /> cultural background, traditions, immigration, family trips, social issues, etc. Learning about our <br /> n-ighbcrs' stories is an exchange that will help to improve the relationship between the <br /> members of the Hillsborough community. <br /> Inspired by Folk and Popular arts, we want people to paint their stories, creating contemporary <br /> narratives. Painting tells stories, documents events or communicates ideas. As well, it serves to <br /> build the cultural imagery of nations. For this reason, wherever we go, we take with us the forms <br /> and colors of where we come from. These are part of our identity and therefore it is necessary <br /> to share them. <br /> We want to motivate frequent attendance, as more hours dedicated to the making of art will <br /> make the pieces of better quality, and the participants will have access to more hours of painting <br /> practice. The weekly workshop will be in English but will also provide bilingual assistance for <br /> Spanish speakers. As well, we want to extend the scope of the workshop by adapting the <br /> classes and artwork to celebrations and important historical datr,s during the year, such as the <br /> Day of the Dead, 4th of July, Labor Day, holidays, etc. <br />
