Here is a YouTube video showing the artwork of our member, Claudia Gutierrez-Thomas.
Although this is in Spanish, check the attitude change of the kids as they get into the exhibition!
Claudia had her first art exposition at the age of 7 years, taught by assistants of the famed Mexican master Diego Rivera. From there she just got better, and her way of giving back has been to teach children to use art for values like anti-bullying, to deal with family violence and to avoid the use of toxic substances.
This video is of her teaching Mexican students in a high crime, low-income area. It is an example of more than 100 exhibitions between 2014 and 2018 that reached more than 10,000 youths, their teachers and sometimes their parents.
Her style, here called Arte Inocente 2, brings out the best in the viewers, the participants and the artist. Check the other Arte Inocente exhibits on Youtube.com — Joseph Thomas, an Innocent bystander.
