Art Class

Introduction

G&S Art Class Program started in 2017. The project is G&S Foundation’s attempt to explore aesthetic education for children in rural schools in Central and Western regions of China. G&S Art Class takes drawing and painting as starting point, and by inviting artists as volunteers, creates a week-long fine arts courses based on the volunteers’ expertise and the schools’ needs.
