Mundo Lindo videos

Two videos from recent days of Mundo Lindo.



These made you smile, right? 
I've been wanting to learn how to edit videos, so I realized making these short ones is perfect practice for me. (I use MovieMaker) 

Mundo Lindo

I have taught Mundo Lindo ~ Beautiful World, an after school art program since 2007. I created the program and got the grant to fund it. I continue to teach every week and I create each and every lesson.

For the past 3 years, I've taught it every Thursday, from 3-5pm through out the school year. For the two years prior to that, I taught it twice a week, 2 hours each time, year round.

The past year, the class size ranges from 15-24 kids each Thursday. It's free for the kids, they are all 4th & 5th graders in Escondido public schools.

I love these kids and it makes me so happy to see them being creative, making art, and enjoying themselves. I've been blogging every week, since the first day of the program, April 26, 2007, on my Mundo Lindo ~ Beautiful World blog, photographing the kids, the art and the fun. We can always use donations. Just email me, and I'll give you the mailing address for your tax deductible donation. But much more important, is that maybe you go out and teach some kids to make art, or buy some art supplies for kids in your neighborhood.

Mundo Lindo starts up again!

The after school art program I created and teach has started up again. Mundo Lindo is one of the best things I've done in my life. Do check out the blog, and see more photos of sweet kids makin' art. An excellent reminder how important art making is---for kids and everyone!

(As you see, we had 31 kids come to class --limit is supposed to be 20---but we couldn't turn anyone away. If you can, please help by making a donation. Mundo Lindo is free to the kids and supported by grants and donations.)

Mundo Lindo ~ Beautiful World

For the past 4 years, I've taught Mundo Lindo ~ Beautiful World, a program I created for 4th & 5th grade kids. It's an afterschool art program and free to the kids. This photo was taken yesterday, June 2, with the kids wearing the tie dye t-shirts they made last week.
I'm in the photo, along with my assistant Amy Williams, teen volunteers Monica, Leo and Jonathan. Mundo Lindo is taking a summer break and will return in September 2011. It's a grant and donation based program. And we need some funding to start up again. You can donate directly here (be sure and mention Mundo Lindo). Go look at the Mundo Lindo blog I've kept up, and you'll see the kids, the art and the joy... Thanks!
