Joyfully painting regardless of age

In true testament to the saying, “You’re never too old to learn,” under the guidance of community workers and teachers, a group of seventy and eighty year old residents from Kaohsiung’s Liugui District have been picking up the painting brush to record impressions of their local area.

The elderly residents said that after a lifetime of using hoes and sickles, this was the first time to use a painting brush. Painting slowly with trembling hands, during the course elderly residents painted everything from golden mangoes to black diamond wax apples, each and every piece a unique work of art.

有一句話「活到老、學到老」，在高雄六龜的新開部落，一群年紀七、八十歲的阿公阿嬤，在社區工作夥伴和老師的帶領下，開始拿起畫筆，記錄印象中的六龜。

阿公阿嬤說拿了一輩子的鋤頭、鐮刀，這可是第一次拿畫筆畫畫，課程中他們用顫抖的手，一筆一畫慢慢勾勒上色，無論是金黃芒果、黑鑽石蓮霧，在他們筆下 都是獨一無二的創作。
