Ultimos Talleres, Last workshops
Great experiences.
1st Project "Toctes" by Paula Barragan
Paula Barragan is a great collector of nick-knacks, she embarked upon a wonderful project of collecting seeds and seeing how they were constructed, from then she recreated a series of prints. The children in the second all girl school we facilitated the workshop at, were delighted to choose from different seeds to create their own collagraphy. Here are some of the prints
2nd Project: Sara Roitman, from the Museum in a Box projects "Suitcase" which invites children to think about their own travels here and there and the memories they carry within.

Ana will present her project "Museo en una Caja / Museum in a Box" an arts education tool developed to bring contemporary Ecuadorian art to rural communities. Ana conducts art workshops in rural Ecuadorian communities and urban under-served populations. She designed the Museum in a Box so it can be easily transported, seen, touched, passed down to other people, and serve as an inspiration to create art.
The first 20 K-12 teachers who attend the artist talk will receive a free "Museum in a Box" to use in their own classrooms.
