2024, 5 years old, 6 years old, Korea, MexicoArlene TuckerComment

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.

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.

The pathfinder was started by asking children to think of ways to share who they are with their new friends in Jeju Island. They thought of sending them postcards with drawings so we then introduced the concept of a collage. We showed some examples of different collages and provided them with several magazines, scrap paper with patterns, colors and old newspapers.

나를 찾아. Finding me.

‘나’를 찾아 떠나는 여정이 재밌기도 했고, 나의 행동, 습관, 모습들이 친구와  다름으로써 특별함으로 인정할수 있는 시간이었습니다. 더불어 친구의 모습또한 소중한 또다른 "너"로 볼 수 있는  존중하는 마음을 가질수 있는 시간이었습니다.
