It was a very emotional day when the 2nd and 3rd grade kids from Seyðisfjörður came across the artwork of the Michigan kids. I remembered what it meant to receive a letter in the mail when I was a girl. The heart beating fast and the curiosity to the surface of the skin.

2021, 4 years old, IcelandCommentI opened the first session connecting our group with yours by comparing the name of our respective kindergartens: Sólvellir for us, which means "sun", and The Little Mole for you. I said maybe your kindergarten is called that way after the famous Czech cartoon character, and I asked them what national character or cartoon we have here in Iceland, and as expected they thought of "Tulipop".
Inviting curiosity
10 years old, 11 years old, 13 year olds, 2021, 7th Grade, 6th Grade, 5th Grade, 4th Grade, IcelandCommentBoth groups are very curious and accept the invitations with curiosity to see what the others are doing, in the case of the self-portrait, the 4th grade group chose to take a photo and transfer to paper, the older group chose to do it freely. Within the self-portrait process we have gone out to look in nature for elements in which we feel represented.
