The Owls at Little Mole really enjoyed painting sounds and chose to use different marking tools and different colors.
Sound
The Owls train their ears and warm up their listening skills
4 years old, 5 years old, 6 years old, Czech Republic, Dear You Art Workshops, IcelandCommentThe Owls here in Little Mole preschool were thrilled to hear we had some messages from our Icelandic friends. They were eager to listen to all the messages but when they learned that the messages were in an unknown language we decided to train our ears and warm up our listening skills first. We opened our ears to listen and try to identify all the sounds around, we also listened to different types of music in different languages.

They closed their eyes and to make sure no one was using their eyes, they put their hats over their eyes as you can see on the pictures attached.
Some of them were „hearing“ sound of nature, like wind and walking in the snow, but most of them thought of sounds of machines, washing machine, cars, hammer and also f. ex shouting of their sisters and brothers at home.
They were trying their best – and they could stay quiet while they listened.

Imagining noises : )
2016, 2nd Grade, Dear You Art Workshops, Estonia, AustriaCommentDear you!
I send you a few pictures from our march-project.
It is not as you told us to do, because we had such a rainy weather and we could not go out and pick up some things from nature.
So we talked about things we hear, when we are in different surroundings. In nature we hear birds, the rain, the trees and a lot of animals. In town we hear a lot of people going and talking, a lot of cars. When we are at home, in our bed, we hear the cars from the street, the family talking, the rain on the window.
So you will see, it isvery interesting to see the pictures and you can imagine by yourself the noises.
Hope you are fine and we wish you happy easter!
Best,
Simone

After the storm in Siglufjörður...
2016, 2nd Grade, 8 years olds, Dear You Art Workshops, Iceland, USACommentThe day after a big storm in Siglufjörður we went out to see what the wind had brought us. The ground had been all white the previous days because it had been snowing every day for many days. But that morning the snow was not white, it was covered with pine needles and branches from trees and all kind of stuff that the kids picked up. When they were painting they were thinking of the sound of the storm which brought us all this. We had all kinds of sounds, whispering, whistling, banging and heavy/vigorous sounds.
Below are pictures of the artist's work and also one picture taken before the storm, where the kids in 1-4th grade are outside by their snow-fort. As you can see spring has not come here yet, though we have had good weather the last days.
