Mission Statement
Faces of the World's goal is to preserve and celebrate the diversity of the world's people through art education, cultural exchange and embracing tolerance. These Workshops teach students to celebrate their unique and valuable culture instilling pride, self worth and acceptance of others. Their hope is to inspire a new generation to become curious and accepting towards the amazing cultural diversity of the world as well as themselves.
Description
We have taught with volunteers over 10,000 children around the world. We teach portrait painting. Our new program is titled "PORTRAIT OF A HERO".
Our murals are a unifying community art project. We use community members to paint individual one-foot square tiles that are assembled in a grid to form the large scale painted portrait.
The mural can be of any hero or heroine, meaningful image, logos, mascot, historical character, slogans, or other significant image.
The primary goal of the mural is to create a connection between hero or heroine and community. Each artist personalizes their tile with their name, which records their participation and bonds them to the community experience. It reinforces the story of the hero or heroine. As the community views an iconic portrait of their family member or cultural leader captured on such a large scale, it creates strong feelings of pride. Pride leads to feelings of well-being, unity, and gives a community a greater sense of self-identity. There is a great cohesive power of having strong common heroes. Participation gives feelings of accomplishment that lead to desire to complete other goals in life.
