ART ART ... Everyone loves Art!
Art class is going very well, I teach for an hour in the Kindergarten and first grade classes. We color, paint and create hands-on pieces of art! Every time I pass children from the class, on the street they say, "you comin' arts n' craps tomorrow?" (no matter the day). I am excited they enjoy my company and the lessons I bring. Below you see Mardi Gras-type masks. These were made in celebration of Carnival time in Dominica. It is a cultural event remembering and celebrating slavery and their freedom. Costumes and masks are cultural wear through parades and daily shows.

Its brilliant to hear read your comments. My parents were from Dominica and I wanted to find out more information as a friend mentioned about the dust cloud. It is truly a wonderful island but its knowing where everything is as unless you are told about certain things you miss out. The last time I was there was when I got married in August 2007 all my pictures are on facebook under Jackie Defoe-Parillon. Feel free to be my friend and have a look. I have hundreds of friends!! Have a brilliant day and enjoy the sun, at the moment in England it is freezing and we are expecting snow!
