YAFA ARTS & CRAFTS with Yafa Goawily – First Seeker Column

Hello everyone! My name is Yafa and I am an artist, having studied arts at Alexandria University in Egypt, where I am from. In March, of 2020 I moved to Cornwall and then the pandemic started. I am enjoying sharing my love of art with everyone – mostly virtually at this time but hopefully in the very near future we will be able to meet in person!

Art is a gift that is given to humanity to strengthen its continuity. Art creates windows for imagination and innovation. It strengthens the soul and makes each of us distinct and different yet at the same time connected with each other. I offer you a simple idea for innovation – I use things around me to transform them into art – working on reusing available materials and drawing on them.

And to make things simpler for you – do not judge or evaluate your artwork – but enjoy the process of doing the art itself.

Today, in our first article, we will work on making a simple craft – It could be wooden (can be purchased) or plastic like a lid (recycling)

Our steps :

1- Make sure the lids are clean

2 – Color the cover with your favorite color – as the background of your drawings

3 – Start drawing (shapes – ideas or words)

If possible, add a string to be able to display your artwork in your home or room

Here are a few examples:. Snap a pic of your creation and email it to: [email protected]

Join us in “YAFA arts & crafts online sessions – open to all ages – everybody is welcome!

Group activities – Creating ARTs and Crafts – Sharing Joy and Happiness and creating together with recycled articles that you have around your house!

Art is a Great Gift for yourself and something for you and your kids to do together.
