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!

Telling stories through cartooning
According to Dave Gibb, an award winning cartoonist, from newspaper to movies, cartoons are everywhere and they tell stories. And what's more is that anyone can draw cartoons and anyone can tell their own stories. This was exactly what our Art2Heart participants experienced last Saturday when Dave led an entertaining session on cartooning.

Experiencing Glass Art
The wonderful Kirsten and Garey of Spirit of Glass have once again opened the eyes of our Art2Heart participants by taking us through the beautiful world of glass art.
Joining us on Saturday 15 August 2015 was our very special guest, JCI President Ismail Haznedar, who traveled from Istanbul, Turkey to support this year's Art2Heart program. We also had 4 JCI friends from JCI Fujioka, Japan with us on the day, who were eager to participate in the workshop.
With so much creativity flowing on the day, we cannot wait to see the final result of our artwork, which will be presented to the youth participants on Saturday 29 August.

Having Fun with Felting
If you have never felted before, you have got to try it! A group of us did just that - felting - last Saturday at Art2Heart.
With our felting expert, Jessie Bleakley, leading the group, children and grown ups learned about various felting techniques and made a soap pouch from colourful wool fibers. The result is stunning!

Led by the 2015 program coordinator, Jessie Bleakley, the first session welcomed both children and parents with a short program introduction followed by a drama workshop with the drama specialist, Jono. It was great to see everyone had an opportunity to get to know each other through fun activities.
Thank you for your energetic participation at our very first Art2Heart session. We look forward to seeing you next Saturday!
