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.
Weaving worlds and time together
2024, 6 years old, 7 years old, Mexico, KoreaCommentThey 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!

2023, 4 years old, 5 years old, 6 years old, Czech Republic, KoreaCommentChildren were asked to close their eyes and think about some questions like. Who are you? What makes you different from everyone else? What makes you unique? What do you like? What makes you smile? What can you do? How do you feel about yourself? How do you look like? And then they used this reflective moment to make a drawing to show who they are.
Owls' Pieces of Me
2023, 4 years old, 5 years old, 6 years old, Czech Republic, Dear You Art Workshops, KoreaCommentThe 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.
