The Magic of Colors

Based on our belief that art can turn ruined and fading places into dreamy, magical ones; nevertheless, art majorly can help those who are living in crucial situations and turn their frowns into smiles. We’ve gathered ourselves: artists, students, workers and amateurs from different and diverse backgrounds. We saved our full energy, ambition and time to come, join and help those who need a sparkle to keep on going.

Art was our own magical wand.

Every color resembles something. Brown and Grey for example show a new change. Those were signs we captured from Al Quds and Al Bireh Schools located at Burj al Barajneh, Beirut Southern Suburbs. And as if those walls were waiting for a big change to happen. I Leaf Art took the stand to give the students this opportunity, thus and for the third time in 7 months I Leaf Art team grabbed their paint and brushes and head it there.

Our first target was Al Quds School. On Saturday, July 8^th, first step was to tell the kids what was our objective, so that they would get engaged spreading art in their own school. “I have never seen anything more beautiful than the spirit those kids had, the effort and ambition they used to enlighten their surroundings with.” The way they were looking at the walls at the final touch was so full of hope and faith toward better and brighter future.

On Tuesday July, 11^th, it was time to give hope for more students. This time I Leaf Art’s ambitious team went to Al Bireh School, the moment the team stepped into the school and kids came rushing to show their support with enthusiasm. They voluntary divided the work upon themselves and got ready for the art rush. 

By the time when the three classrooms were done, the kids were amazed by the result and overwhelmed by the fact that most of them are talented enough to have helped us redecorating their own classrooms.

At the end, the purpose of life is to grow and share. And we, I Leaf Art team are positively sure that when we come to look back on all that we have done until today and remember the effect we left deep down those children’s hearts, we feel more rewarded than ever.
