Silk Painting Training
Phnom Penh School for the Deaf
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
After years of civil war and Khmer Rouge genocide, Cambodia is now at peace but still remains one of the poorest countries in the world where people with disabilities have few opportunities for a better life. Cambodia’s rich artistic cultural heritage provides opportunities for disabled students to gain skills in traditional arts that can lead to income generation. Students at the Phnom Penh School for the Deaf, Cambodia’s first such school, attended our Silk Painting and Note Card Painting classes where they learned new painting techniques. Students were also introduced to computer illustration.
Students in our Silk Painting Art Classes at the School for the Deaf learn to make art with paint, mixed media and silk.
