During the video call with the Little Owls, Ofurhetjuhópur were amazed to see that their artworks were exhibited on a wall of their kindergarten classroom amongst others images from Iceland. From that fact, plus all the artworks that they received themselves from Prague, we talked about how our actions have consequences, how, without knowing it sometimes, we can influence the life of others and vice versa.
Making connections
The Monkeys collect, make, and mail art!
Pre-School, Finland, MexicoCommentThe Monkeys explored travels in the deep sea all the up to space. We first discussed all the ways one could travel. And then we put a twist on it since anything is possible in our imagination! From then on we had space rockets that could also act as airplanes and we had boats that could change to a million different speeds!
Continuing with the goodness of recycling, we used old candy wrappers and other papers to make our artworks. The Monkeys thought, is there Fazer chocolate in Mexico? They really hope so!
Looking forward to receiving artworks from our friends in Mexico! Thanks!
Our best,
Arlene & The Monkeys
The Monkeys from Your School in Espoo, Finland are making and sharing art with Rocio Fernandez and her artists from Prepri B from Colegio San Patricio Cumbres in Monterrey, Mexico. Both groups of artists are 5-6 years old.
Our world is big, connected, and full of creative ways of getting from here to there :).
K1 makes creative connections!
2016, 4 years old, 5 years old, Dear You Art Workshops, Dear You Workshop Leader, Finland, MexicoCommentWe have been getting to know ourselves and the world through making art. Now let's put all the pieces together and make a collective piece of art which shows different ways to get to our friends in Mexico!
As we were using recycled materials, the artists realized that this was also a sensorial experience! They smelled the empty coffee bags and thought that this could help with the travels :). Some K1ers said that Mommy likes to drink coffee.
Submarines, flying helicopters, jets, and more!
Thank you!
Our best,
K1 and Arlene Tucker
