Sand Art Workshop Sept.2, 2012 Puerto Princesa City

One of my workshops in Dos Palmas Island Resort and Spa, Palawan.

The children enjoyed the new art medium I introduced to them, they were amazed that from lowly material called sand which is very abundant in their area could be used to create art .

I have been developing sand art since 2005 for the purpose of introducing alternative art materials for the impoverish children with talent, conventional materials are expensive nowadays, I hope through this, I could help enhance the children, lack of art materials should not be an excuse to the development of one's talent.
