Art, in all its forms, is a pure and simple expression.
Living Light International will provide trained art instructors to the sponsored orphanages and other private social service organizations. These instructors will have training in grief recovery and how to communicate emotions through various art mediums. Our local Project Directors will screen the instructors and ensure they meet the minimum guidelines and training specified by the organization.
Painting, Drawing, Sculpture: Give a child a crayon and a piece of paper, a brush and a palette of water colors or a piece of clay to shape and the result is an expression of their feelings. Our classes will teach the children the basics of this form of art and give them the ability to begin the process of grief recovery. Grief therapy, in addition to artistic development, will be the focus throughout this program.
Healing Through Drama: Drama will be taught as a means of expression and to understand the great concepts in literature. Our instructions will select plays and poems appropriate to the group of students and will enable student to participate in acting. As appropriate writing and acting literature of the participants will be encouraged.
Healing Through Music: Prominent authors have said, “Where words fail, music speaks” and “Music is the shorthand of emotion”. These two quotes capture the essence of using music in healing. From birth, mothers have used music to calm their children and this simple method has been proven throughout the centuries. Our instructors will teach the children the basics of music, how to create it and work as a group to perform it.
