On the lookout for artists and musicians that would like to be involved.
Because Benjamin was so passionate about the arts and creative with his imagination we are helping other young children develop and nuture their passion for the arts. Ben's Jammin' Art Project is working within established organizations that already have a relationship with children and know them. Together we will nuture the artistic giftings in these children.
We will supply art materials, instruments and instruction.
We are always looking for artist and musicians who would like to be involved.
Bens instrument of choice was the drums. We thought he was amazing we couldn't believe the music he could keep up with and without instruction. Ben never had a real drum set. He was going to get a used one for his birthday. The drums he played were made by him. He took an old electric set that didn't work and was worn, covered the worn pads with frisbees held on by duct tape, made cymbals out of small,old dull saw blades, and used a hat box for the kick drum.
We would of loved for him to have a real drum set and heard him play on it, this is one of the reasons we are encouraged to supply instruments.
This is a drum set he drew on the computer. We are now using it as Ben's Jammin' Art Project logo.
