Of course, the results were amazing!
JCI Eastern presents the Art2Heart program. Our aim was to provide a safe environment for self exploration and growth through arts. With the help of volunteers and artists, invited primary school kids were given the opportunity to learn from established artists and experience arts in various forms. This has been a special journal and we invite you to join us!

Art2Heart 2014: Glass Art
By popular demand, Kirsten and Garey from Spirit of Glass once again joined our Art2Heart project on Saturday 23 August to teach us the art of working with glass. Each student had a chance to make small jewelleries and a larger art piece with various types of glass. The colour, the creativity and the excitement filled the air of the Ferny Creek studio.
Of course, the results were amazing!

Art2Heart 2014: Cartooning
You think you cannot draw? Think again! You think cartooning is not for everyone? Well, then you have not met our superb award-winning cartoonist, Dave Gibb.
It was only 2 Saturdays ago on 16th August that our Art2Heart students laughed their way through an engaging and fun cartooning workshop with Dave. We were taught that everyone can draw cartoon and all creations are good, because they are personal interpretations of the world around us.
So let's view our everyday life with a little bit of homour and let's do some cartooning!

Want to have a preview of our next Art2Heart session? Here it is!
Our next Art2Heart session on 16 August will be led by Dave Gibb, who is an accomplished cartoon artist based in Ballarat. Not only his work is award-winning, Mr Gibb also comes with an extensive experience helping kids through cartoon. In this 2012 article published on spec.com.au (Click here for the original article), Mr Gibb worked with children from Portland South Primary School to produce a mural about friendship and self-confidence.
JCI Eastern is extremely excited to have Mr Gibb volunteering his time with us and working with our children from the Art2Heart project.

Art2Heart 2014 : Induction Session
It was with great pleasure that we commenced this year's Art2Heart program on Saturday 2nd August. Wonderful work has been done by our volunteers, Sithira Tennakoon, Reza Orbien and Jessie Bleakley, promoting Art2Heart to local primary schools. As a result, we have 5 schools sending their students to participate in this year's program.
We also welcome the generous support of 5 artists whose involvement will enable us to run exciting art workshops including lead-light glass art, cartoon art, jewellery and landscape glass art, felting and African drumming.
Here are some photos from our induction session featuring this year's project lead, Sam Gibb and JCI Eastern 2014 Chapter President, Ben Morris welcoming our 2014 participants.
