A Child Helping Children
Social-Emotional Development With Art
Chelsea started out wanting to provide her homemade art kits to children that may not have access to art supplies or children that have gone thru a traumatic experience. She wants to help support the social-emotional development of as many children as possible because "art is start!" Chelsea assembles art kits for children with various supplies donated to her throughout the year and includes a personal note from Chelsea in each kit😊
Teaching Art Lessons
Not only does Chelsea make art kits, she also teaches children some of her favorite art techniques! She spends time working with children on special skills and even teaches one of her favorite skills to use when creating characters called...the "Chelsea Eyes".👀
Art Helps and Heals
One of our main causes here at Chelsea's Charity is teaching children how to use art to help them in their every day lives. Research shows that you don't have to excel in art for it to help with your development. You just need access to the materials...our main goal😊🎨
Meet Chelsea
Chelsea has loved art since she was old enough to hold a crayon. She also sincerely loves to help others, so Chelsea's Charity was a great way to combine her two loves to support her peers! She is looking forward to teaching the value of art to many children worldwide.
