Following on from last week’s design work
the girls at Infante moved onto canvases this week, starting with painting
acrylic base colours, learning from Maddie about how to mix secondary colours from primary.
Emphasising the theme of community, we
looked at images of the Meninadança Pink House Respect Puzzle as reference, and
marked up the canvases in such a way that each canvas will be connected to its
two neighbours by continuing its pattern onto them and having their patterns
continue onto its surface. Once this
idea was clear the girls were happy to begin painting onto their canvases. One pair actually worked together on one
canvas, seeming to have more confidence in painting together than separately.
Emma Romana and I marking up the canvases –
this is Emma who is on placement with ICYE here in Cochabamba that I bumped
into in the boarding queue for Heathrow back in September. It is also Emma who originally introduced me
to Infante and who is my collaborator with this group along with SB volunteer Maddie – thanks for the introduction Em!
