As part of the Faculty of Fine Arts' social and humanitarian mission, and within the activities of the "Beauty Caravan", the faculty organized a heartfelt field visit under the initiative "Draw with Fine Arts" to the Children’s Ward of the Oncology Hospital at Mansoura University on Tuesday, March 25, with the participation of 15 students from the faculty.

This visit stems from the Community Service Sector’s strong belief in the role of art as a powerful tool for psychological and emotional support, aiming to bring moments of beauty and hope to the hearts of brave children undergoing treatment.

During the visit, Fine Arts students engaged the children in several interactive artistic activities, including:

• ? Collaborative Painting: Students and children co-created colorful artworks, allowing each child to express their dreams and imagination through vibrant colors in a joyful and encouraging atmosphere.

• ?️ Face and Hand Painting: Students created cheerful and playful designs on the children’s faces and hands using safe, skin-friendly paints, spreading smiles and delight.

• ? Interactive Entertainment: The visit extended beyond drawing to include fun games and entertainment segments, creating a cheerful environment full of laughter and hope.

The visit left a profound emotional impact on the children, their families, and the participating students, who all expressed their happiness with this deeply human experience. The children felt supported and surrounded by love and positivity through art.

The visit concluded with the distribution of small gifts and special "Draw with Fine Arts" medals to the children.

This initiative reflects a spirit of compassion and solidarity, reinforcing the value of art as a tool for expression, healing, and human connection. The Faculty of Fine Arts is committed to continuing such initiatives in the future, ensuring that art remains a bridge between hearts and a means of spreading beauty and love everywhere.
