ArtSeed is an organization to inspire and empower the young or
underprivileged to realize their full potential and embrace diverse
communities through participation in the arts.
Because of my
Grandson, I became acquainted with
ArtSeed and Josefa Vaughan, the
Executive Director. She requested that I may have something of art
related to teach to young people. I chose to teach them how to make
their own pens out of printer's discarded litho plates or empty soft
drink cans. I also brought along sumi ink to try the pens out. I was
fortunate to have a friend, Greg Garcia of
On Paper Inc, donate
litho plates and lots of good paper.

These were the final finished note cards they made with embossed framing (additional lesson). I gave them an envelope so that they could used it to send or give away. The pen exercise produced wonderful strokes and I think they were all pleased. |
