Youth in Arts Creates Toothpick Art!


Yesterday evening, Youth in Arts had a blast creating tooth pick paintings on mini canvases. The youth created marble-like pieces that had a glass-finish look, due to an exploration of mixing white glue and acrylic paint! Using a toothpick, they pulled the wet mixture slowly to integrate colors together without actually mixing them.
Here are some our youth taking a picture with their previous masterpieces!

The toothpick paintings drying on the side.

Our Youth in Arts boys hard at work thinking of ideas!

Fatimah's beautiful creation.. Great job!

Ali's enthusiastic smile!


Layal's fantastic sunset piece with toothpicks!
