Mail Art + Pen Friends = Dear You Art Project
Here are some pictures of the sun catchers the artists in Berlin made.
Lusine Boyajyan, the teacher of the 5 year old artists at Kita Felix and Friends said, "We had a great sunny day and the kids were happy to explore the light and drawn pictures, the shadow of fingers behind the transparent paper...was a lot of fun :-)"
These artworks will brighten up Ahja's artists' day!
The artists at The English School in Helsinki did a wonderful interpretation of the viewfinder project! I thought it was so clever how they traced directly onto the clear plastic paper! It seems like the students were posing for each other too. We are each other's muses :).
I'm sure their friends in Prague will be ecstatic when they receive these artworks!
Simone and her 8 year old artists living in Vienna, Austria are exchanging art with the 7 year old artists from Vantaa, Finland. Simone, the Viennese group's teacher had such lovely comments about the April project!
Once again they had a lot of fun and were astonished what light can do. The colours of the fishes are so much prettier with sunlight!!
In Vienna the sun is shining and it's warm outside. We all love it!
Best wishes,
Simone
In Finland, the change in light is one of the biggest differences we feel when moving from winter to spring. The Monkeys used the beautiful sunshine to make their artworks since this is one of the best things Finland has to offer right now!
We first talked about how to draw profiles and then experimented with different silk papers and paper cutting techniques. Some of the Monkeys got very detailed when drawing their profiles while others liked to add more collage and layering techniques into their pieces. Either way, the results are amazing and I hope our friends in India will like them too :).
