Walk of Hope Update : Free Music & Arts "at its' best"

This Free Art Workshop that commenced last May 2nd in Bayawan City is still ongoing and ends next week. This to complete a total of 16 sessions for our 2 groups of kids, ages 6- 14 years. As I have been showing their works lately, it doesn't end there, we have loads still to show you guys. I have compiled some for this update, all courtesy of Marlon aka @flabbergast-art.

According to Marlon, once this Summer Workshop is over, the Department of Eduction will give each child a certificate of completion.

The Philippines during pre-Hispanic times have already its' own language called Baybayin. For its' preservation, we Filipinos thank the earliest Spanish missionaries as they copied and explained them in their books. Without them, this early way of writing could have been lost.

Although not known to many, few Filipino Steemian artists have mentioned this in some of their posts. Marlon for his part had a bit of Baybayin lessons prior to this Tour. Accordingly, our ancestors were using Bamboo to write Baybayin, they do this while the bamboo are still young and green, writing with pointed stones. I will let your imagination works in here.

Wanna join???

There are stands created for them bamboo so let's wait and see where they will be arranged by Marlon.

These sessions start from 9AM till noon. While the kids are on breaks and even just after their lessons, Marlon have been showing his indigenous instruments as the plan is for them to play all the instruments when this workshop is over as there will be a small program afterwards. Date to be confirmed.

Can you see the adjustable bamboo stand? Am sure, we will see more of this bamboo stuff in the future.

Surrounded of last Monday's still life lessons while introducing some of the world and local indigenous intstruments.

How to draw a Portrait

I swear we have loads of images, but lately I have been having problems to download them. Please bear with me. Thank you.

In lieu of Steemit Philippines' mission to PROMOTE THE PLATFORM THROUGH IT's CHARITY INITIATIVES, this Tour is to bring Music & Arts to the underprivileged Filipinos in Visayas and Mindanao. @flabbergast-art, together with Tatay Dagsa and other creatives is bringing this to fruition, funded by STEEM and as a dollar goes a long way in the Philippines, our/your SBDs/STEEMs is making this happen.
