People's workshop

People need a shoulder to rely on, when we sit we sit with people, when we stand we stand with people-Maryam Daher

Designing workshops for people can help resolve issues. You can start by asking yourself a simple question, am I solving or resolving an issue and it will make you a better person.

A Drawing Tip for beginners

The lightness with which our hands touches the paper, expresses our color and love for art. You
can use simple plain objects to inspire simple design.

It leaves you enlightened and happy.

Simple design of trees and butterflies, sunflowers and sky. You can be creative by using non-toxic solutions to your designs, by layering your canvas surface with cooling colors. Cadium Yellow to Sea Greens.

Objectives

To conserve spaces which are a value to us, inspired by the beauty of our natural environment.

We support the plantation of trees to prevent deforestation from occurring. Every leaf you save contributes to saving the environment.

An environment that is important

An environment that promotes the educational sector. I saw a picture of a man-made hut at Dawn 18th November 2009 and realized what a shelter can mean. Shelters have to be strategic, fresh ventilation (wind, light, water, and soil), the four elements that each home owner should look at.

Tips

Gardening:
You can use dry leaves for your gardening to create mulch over the flower beds to preserve moisture in the soil, something I learned from architecture school.

Plantation:
We recommend people should use their gardens to grow fresh fruits and vegetables as these will have the most nutrition. Pesticides should not be used.
