Participants will learn about the meaning of the symbols traditionally used in creating the works of art that are used on Ghanaian walls, pottery, and clothes and can create their own bandanas with Adinkra-style stamps to take with them. They can also draw their own symbols of special meaning to them as inspired by the art form. Traditional Chinese techniques of painting bamboo and plum blossom trees will the taught with bamboo brushes and india ink.Participants will be able to take their paintings with them.\rAbout the Artist“I am an art educator with a strong background in art therapy. I love to create and to inspire. I find my own inspiration around me on a daily basis through colors, ideas, words, thoughts and emotions. I teach art at Cunningham Children’s Home, where I have been for five years, and I previously taught In Gilman, Illinois. My current interest with art include using art as therapy for those who have experienced extreme trauma as a way to build up self-esteem and to heal wounds.”\r\r"
