This Saturday kicked off the first art session at the Visual Arts Center in artsy uptown area of Richmond where my three eldest daughters opted to make a portrait collage and fabric birds.
Muslimah collage
It was my five-year old daughter’s first experience with the workshop as she just turned five last month and now meets the age requirement, masha Allah. I think that she enjoyed the time alone with me more than the actual collage making. We were both ectastic to find images of covered Muslimahs (female Muslims) in National Geographic magazines which we could cut out and arrange into a collage together.
Fabric birds
My father-in-law accompanied my eldest daughters (8 and 7) to a fabric bird making class where they learned to hand sew for the first time. I was pleased that they were exposed to this skill in the workshop as sewing is an important skill to learn and master, insha Allah.
