Solenn Heussaff offering painting classes for kids
Kapuso star Solenn Heussaff is working on a new project that involves two of her passions: art and kids.
"Kids Take HeaART" will let parents enroll their child for an hour-long, one-on-one painting class with Solenn and Studio Soliven. Together, Solenn, the studio and the kids will create art on a medium that she will be using for the first time: carpet.
The details can be found on Solenn's website here.
"[I]f you’re a proud parent who likes displaying your kid’s work, you can actually immortalize their art on a one-of-a-kind designer carpet," Solenn says on her website.
"The artwork will be created with me through a one-on-one hourly art session that I will do on an available day (most likely Sunday) for a max of only three kids per day. Then Studio Soliven and I will collaborate with the kids to refashion their artwork into a carpet, helping them find the best colors, fabric, and material that will be perfect with the carpet’s future home."
Twenty percent of the proceeds from the sale of each carpet will be donated to Kalipay Foundation to help street kids.
"I basically think that art is one of the most important things to teach a child, because art teaches them how to think and not what to think. It's important for a child to feel, to see, to touch, to experience and experiment. Through this project, the kids will just have fun learning and touching different colors, experimenting," Solenn said in a video she posted on Instagram.
