Ajani’s Arts & Crafts creates art kits for Black and brown children of color. We also create limited edition kits for adults.
Our art kits allow Black and brown people to see and create art that looks like them.
Representation matters.
It gives children a sense of pride because they see themselves in those positive images.
Our art kits are created to help instill a positive self-image in Black and brown children.
Each art kit contains a set of crayons, markers, or colored pencils, and an art print. The art prints are people, places, things, and situations taken from Black and brown culture.
Our art kits the first to include “skin tone” crayons, markers, colored pencils, and paints.
Skin tone colors give you the choice of not just black and brown to represent yourself.
They are a range of colors that allow you to have choice. They represent our different shades of color.
We remember when our only choice was black and brown colors to represent us.
Black skin spans the range of “just passing” to midnight black.
The We Wear the Mask art project is our first art kit.
This art kit is based on the poem, “We Wear the Mask”, by Paul Lawrence Dunbar.
