The first day of our Healing Arts Camp at New Dawn High School went very well. This year we are rotating 4 groups of students through each of our art forms: visual, music, drama, and poetry.
Our theme is the same as it was for Jamii school - the life of Moses and the plans God has to give us hope and a future. In the visual arts this year I had the students do an art therapy prompt focused on our past and future selves. They traced their hands, and on one they drew pictures and words representing their past, and on the other, their future dreams and hopes.
We then cut them out and glued them on a canvas of the night sky with our hands reaching for the stars.

| This one hand of the past was particularly poignant. |
 |
| This young man did a beautiful job expressing how God is powerful enough to redeem our past and how he will be our provider in the future. |
 |
Two rotations of students done! Two more to go tomorrow.
 |
| When they were done with their past and future hands I had them do Paul Klee inspired grid paintings with the letters in their names and water color the grid. They each got to take home a water color set thanks to the many school supply donations I received from my teacher friends and their students in Sherwood. They were thrilled to receive their own set of watercolors. |
All smiles as they completed their two projects. More to come tomorrow! |
