Brush, Color, Create! Kids’ Painting Workshop at El Miro de Shei Farm

Last October 11, 2025, sixteen young artists gathered at El Miro Miro de Shei Integrated Farm in Salugan, Camalig, Albay for a fun morning of painting surrounded by nature — and the stunning Majestic Mayon Volcano in view!

From 10 AM to 12 NN, the kids learned basic acrylic painting techniques and created colorful artworks inspired by farm life — flowers, plants, and animals found around the venue.

The event was organized by Farm Fusion Fest, an initiative that brings together art, nature, and community to inspire the next generation of young creators.

It was a joyful day filled with art, laughter, and imagination — proof that creativity truly blooms in the heart of nature.

CREATIVE BRUSHES TO FIGHT PANDEMIC

September 2020

Paint brushes and acrylic paint were the media used by children as they showed their talents in visualizing their thoughts on the Covid-19 pandemic and how they should respond. Wearing face masks and face shields while maintaining physical distancing, 100 children from 10 teams participated in the Kurit Aki virtual workshop for 3 hours held on Sept. 26, 2020.

The teams of child artists came from 10 different barangays in the towns of Canaman, Pasacao, Tigaon, Bula, Minalabac, Naga City, and Ocampo – all in Camarines Sur. On hand were parent assistants and artist mentors from the Kintab Artists Group.

Thirty Agta children from Ocampo in the foothills of Mt. Isarog also joined the workshop. They were gathered for a preliminary orientation and workshop a day before.

Assembled together by Zoom in different farms – houses, “people’s farm,” organic garden outside a healthy foods café, and schools – the children listened to different speakers talk about the project and psycho-social intervention before art instructors took over to lead the painting workshop. Acrylic painting was done on white tote bags which were pre-designed with visuals and images.

Zoom connectivity, however, was interrupted in some areas because of the ongoing repair of telecommunications cables all over the country.

Despite this, the children had fun and showed serious work as they expressed their best colors and presentation. Lunch was served after the event.

A much-awaited final event is on Oct. 17 which will have a short program and will highlight a virtual gallery of 100 art works

Conceived as both an art workshop and a psychosocial art intervention program, Kurit Aki is dedicated to supporting children affected by the devastating typhoons that struck several areas of Camarines Sur. Beyond immediate relief, the program seeks to nurture resilience, strengthen community bonds, and promote the transformative power of art as a lasting tool for healing, empowerment, and recovery. Looking ahead, Kurit Aki remains committed to expanding its reach, engaging more communities, and developing sustainable initiatives that ensure the well-being and creative growth of future generations.
