Original
Paintings
These
paintings are created by children who live in the communities
located five hours by boat from Iquitos, Peru. The Yarapa
School of Art is a program of Comunidad
Tawantinsuyu and seeks to help Amazonian children develop
their abilities and creativity through painting. They also
learn to value their ancestral knowledge of the use of natural
tints from the jungle plants and to conserve their natural
jungle environment.
Children are invited to attend the three-month program. Overtime,
the children progress through three levels of achievement.
At the first level, they learn to observe nature and paint
landscapes of the Amazonian Jungle using acrylic paint on
cardboard. Those who complete the first level move on to research
the use of natural tints they make from area plants and use
to paint on llanchama, a paper made from tree bark. At the
third level, the children learn to make their own paper using
organic materials from the area.
One Heart Many Rhythms is one of the sponsors of this program
and your purchase of a painting will directly benefit the
child artist and the Yarapa School of Art.
