arteMural 2012: The Beginning

Hola amigos y familia! Well, we made it back to Bogota! Having already started the big mural project with the Clubhouse kids, we are excited to share some stories from the Museo de los Ninos.

The day after we arrived in Bogota, we were scheduled to arrive at the Museo for the arteMural 2012 opening. Dan and I would be the surprise guests. We were coming off a 19 hour bus ride but we didn't mind...our adrenaline of finally coming to our mural project was enough to keep us going. 50+ participants greeted us with equal excitement. Let's get started!

Our weekends have been full of workshops and getting to know the kids we are working with. Each participant was given their own custom made arteMural sketch book, where they put all their ideas. We didn't hesitate to get started on the brainstorming! We have had numerous meetings to discuss the mural design, workshops that include; collage, stencil, painting, etc. Below is a look at some of these taller (workshops in Spanish)!
