Workshop of Painting is he is born like answer to the need of my son to express itself. Alfredo, my son, is the first diagnosed child like semiautistic, later like indigo child and finally with attention deficit, the truth is that Alfredo presents typical of persolidad and of learning not documented.

Not in accordance with so many diagnoses, I devoted myself to observe it and to give him options and discovered that he liked drawing very much, trying to give him river bed to his creativity and because it was not accepted in the painting schools by the characteristics that it was presenting, say � to form a painting workshop and invite other children with the same Alfredo's characteristics. One of the children called him an Indigo Art.

Here they express his ideas and emotions, giving him form and color to his imagination, communicating something of them to the others and realizing that they are capable of interacting in a natural way with the way that surrounds them. Here the important thing is not to do nicely, but the creative process that happens in every work.

Working from the year 2000 with children and different adolescents makes me see and feel that the creativity can jump in different moments and that the intellectual ripeness is not equal to physical ripeness and that there is no reason to think that the one that does not know letters, does not have to be creative, if the creativity and knowledge is not in the letters.

As this Workshop is not a gainful occupation, we are looking for economic support and especially spaces where they could exhibit his works. He would be grateful, if someone can facilitate contact to me with some institution or interested persons in supporting this project.
