In this last project, the kids were inspired by the art of our friends from Korea. They observed and talked about what they thought they drew, why they added that detail, where is their name, what story they wanted to tell. They realized that they have different styles to draw, that was very interesting for them, like the eyes, the clothes, and the fantastic creatures they drew.
books
Books open up so many questions!
2016, 4 years old, 5 years old, Dear You Art Workshops, Dear You Workshop Leader, Finland, Estonia, Pre-SchoolCommentLast week we did the book workshop. The workshop was very intense.
I think it was a good experience for kids to think about the food. Children had drawn their favorite foods and then the ingredients separately. I asked children many questions how food is made and where the ingredients for the food come from. Children had many questions and it was interesting to see how they are figuring out the food chain.

Go figure my riddle!
2016, Canada, Dear You Art Workshops, Finland, 6th GradeCommentSome students took it very literally, and just wrote clues without much art work to support what they were talking about... a lot of others provided a great amount of detail on each and every page.
Some almost made the books more puzzle-like - flip - to the back - flip back to the front, hide the answer, hide clues, etc. Again, the topic was pretty varied. Some chose a food, others favourite characters from books or movies, or an animal...
Most really enjoyed it, some opted out of some of the more "creative" component of the book.... :)
Here are a few short words on the class website.

From Iceland to Texas, with love!
2016, 2nd Grade, 1st Grade, Dear You Art Workshops, Iceland, USACommentHere are pictures of the work, tomorrow the books will be sent to Texas. The kids have had much fun doing the books. They introduced their book to the class, keeping it a secret which food they had chosen. The class was guessing and they were very excited, and in the end the secret came out.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to take part in this, and it is also great to see it on Facebook.
Love, Halla and Guðný
