Art Experience
For Children
Resources for children to explore and pursue their dreams in art
MISSION STATEMENT
“To expose children to the joys that lie within the art world, invite them to include art in their future dreams and aspirations, and let their voices be heard in society through meaningful creative expression, valuing sincerity, humility, and inclusivity. Over time, children will grow to find courage, confidence, and true identity through art.”
What is Dreamers’ Palette about?
My project, Dreamers’ Palette, seeks to spread passion and wider accessibility of visual arts for children who do not have adequate resources to experience the benefits of creative expression. By providing specially designed art kits and holding workshops to provide helpful guidance and essential materials, children will be exposed to more possibilities for their future hobbies and careers, and be able to use art-making as a means to explore questions of identity and community.
What is an Art Kit?
An art kit is a one-stop-shop package for children to easily follow instructions in a mini pamphlet to create their own tangible artworks. Its intention is primarily to inspire children to create and explore art on their own and feel free to express their creativity in their own unique way. Throughout time, we hope that art kits help children learn more about diverse aspects of art-making and empower them to be authentic about their identities as an artist.
Ronald McDonald House of Dallas Partnership
In order to further expand the accessibility of art kits and workshops to those who cannot afford art materials and proper guidance, Dreamers’ Palette is partnering with Ronald McDonald House of Dallas (RMHD), a nonprofit organization whose mission is to keep families together while their children are receiving medical care by providing temporary housing and fundamental resources for a warm environment of living.
By partnering with RMHD, Dreamers’ Palette can provide an entertaining activity for a larger range of children to spend their time completing art kits and attending monthly workshops. As RMHD provides all needed resources and housing at no cost, all art kits and workshops from Dreamers’ Palette will be provided to families for free with the hope of giving them more creative activities while staying with the organization. This art kit will help kids easily gain access to art-making by simply being able to pick up art kits during their stay and participating in workshops in RMHD’s craft room. I really hope children who are interested in expanding their artistic abilities can gain more experience and have fun through this Dreamers’ Palette project!
Art Box Project at Cook Children’s Hospital!
Dreamers’ Palette presents a new creative initiative called the “Art Box,” featuring a box filled with a variety of art materials, projects, and other activities to bring the joy and therapeutic experiences of art to children in the hospital! Children can choose their preferred art materials and activities, creating a personalized art experience.
My project will provide access to art for children who have to stay in the hospital and may have limited opportunities to experience diverse art activities. Through this project, I hope to imbue children with the hope and joy art provides to us and help them learn how to express themselves through creative means to gradually unleash their full potentials!
Dreamers’ Palette is having a new partnership with Cook Children’s, and I extend my heartfelt gratitude to their support and opportunity to further amplify this project’s overall goal, which is to expose children to art experiences through diverse means. Thank you, Cook Children’s, for helping this project make a positive impact in the lives of wonderful children!
