Dear You is a process-based cross-cultural international art project created for children aged 4-15 years old. The aim of Dear You is to connect children on all walks of life through making art.
They loved the process of weaving. It was difficult and required a lot of concentration, which they loved to have. Once they understood the mechanics of the activity it was easy for them to repeat the pattern. Some of them struggled with the activity, but it was amazing to see how they asked for help and their friends helped them. Amazing teamwork!
We discovered that we can make art with letters and words! It was wonderful to be able to express ourselves with words and art.
We talked about self-portraits, which is a way of expressing our physical characteristics through art. We learned about new techniques for transferring drawings, we loved it!
이번 수업에서 아이들은 자신을 소개했고 자기가 잘하는 놀이, 여행에서 기억에 남는 경험을 이야기 했습니다.
In this class, the children introduced themselves and shared stories about their favorite games and memorable experiences from travels.
The children were encouraged to listen to a curated selection of music from Dear You that ranged from gentle, slow melodies to fast-paced, intense rhythms. 저희는 DearU 프로그램의 마지막 미술 수업에서 아이들과 함께 예술을 독특하고 다차원적인 방식으로 접근한 새로운 경험을 나누었습니다.
During this pathfinder the children really enjoyed gathering lots of different items from outdoors to show our friends Toucans lovely land.
아이들은 우리 주변의일반적인 자연 재료들을 이전에는 무시하던 것을 창조적인 작품을 만드는 필요한 구성 요소로서 발견하고접근하기 시작했습니다. Using the geographical features of Jeju Island, lessons held on the beach allowed children to gather pebbles, sand, washed-up seaweed, seawater, and even small discarded glass fragments from the sea.
Toucans really put a lot of thought into their questions on what they seen in the collages then took a look at the pictures/collages together and shared our thoughts, ideas and feelings on each art piece!
In this last project, the kids were inspired by the art of our friends from Korea. They observed and talked about what they thought they drew, why they added that detail, where is their name, what story they wanted to tell. They realized that they have different styles to draw, that was very interesting for them, like the eyes, the clothes, and the fantastic creatures they drew.
