Here are the Lumileopard's paintings from Vantaa, Finland. You can see the first signs of spring through the viewfinders! I wonder if their friends in Austria are also seeing the seasons change through their viewfinders. Anne-Marie, the Lumileopard's teacher, has shared so much great information with us! She says:
This Art task was so gorgeous and funny. Kids and adults were so excited about all working and screening. At first I told the children about the new themes and we were discussing what all of that means and how we can do this work. We then built our own viewfinder.
Next we made small groups and went out to search for good painting items and at same time we considered signs of spring. After that everyone painted their own watercolor landscape.
Some kids found their views easily, some of them had to seek them out longer. That view what is in Picture, can exhibit small detail from nature, or house's wall etc. or it can be also bigger view from landscape or even imagination topic ! The finished works were delightful!
I wrote some notes about what the kids named their works:
Rebekka: Firs, red house, stones.
Teppo: Firs, red stable, watergrass.
Eetu: Space and ufos
Veera: Sky, sun
Anna: Spruce and flowers
Jimi T: House, Big Flat
Andreas: Car, house and human being
Rasmus S: Colour of the sky
Karl: Spring is coming
Jimi P: Venetian blind and bricks
Doina: Spruce, sun and dry leaves
Eelis: Rainbow and sun
Sandra: All kind of colours
Moonika: Birds, clouds, sun, grass and spruce
Helmi: House and grass
Miina: Nursery's playsquare on sunny day
Aapo: Octopus on the wall
Leevi: Bus on the road

Have a nice spring there and lot of more fun with art and kids!
