Jane creates Mundo Lindo! A year long program, funded by The Kenneth A. Picerne Foundation, of free weekly 2-hour creative classes for fourth and fifth grade children in the underserved population of Escondido [San Diego North]. The classes are taught by Jane LaFazio, a professional artist, and take place at the Escondido Children’s Museum. Jane guides the kids in discovering the joy and power of creativity through hands-on projects. Each session, the children will be learning art skills and problem solving while learning about the world we live in through natural sciences and international culture. Jane is pictured with Katie Ragazzi, Executive Director of the Escondido Children’s Museum. |
