| Wendell Mc Shine admires the painting inspired by the students of Success Laventillle. This wall is located opposite the Success Laventille School and it was donated to them by Coconut Growers Association (CGA). |
The Art Connect program was implemented in the Success Laventille Secondary School and the entire curriculum was taught by the talented Wendell Mc Shine, who is a local artist based in Mexico.

Students were engaged in making art and were taught how to express themselves freely through newfound mediums. This is a hands-on arts project designed to provide the students with contemporary art skills, basic concepts of animation and knowledge of urban arts, while offering an opportunity to express their inner voice and talents. This took place inside their classrooms and through outdoor activities.

The project culminated with a final community mural using the out door wall donated by CGA Ltd. as a canvas.
Spanish film Director Miquel Galofre documented the process and was able to capture the genuine transformation of these children. We can witness their fears and hopelessness at the onset of the project.
"I can't speak freely and I don't know why" One girl says.

ReplyDeleteYESS! I remember that picture, so thats what that was about! they should introduce this in other schools..
ReplyDeleteGreat Job, by the students of Success Lavetille.
I to remember that painting, but I never knew what it was about and why it was there. Great work, really hope it continued, hope more things like this are implemented in schools, especially in Laventille. Children are really going through a lot difficult things, this is just one way they can express themselves instead of channeling it negatively. Great article.
