Mail Art + Pen Friends = Dear You Art Project
The January Project was fun. In Estonia we have the days "Kadripäev" and "Mardipäeav" where we make masks. The children wanted to immediately start to draw. They were looking for patterns on their skin and clothes. Fortunately, the children were wearing very colorful
clothing and the masks are completed soon. It was a great idea.

Hallo,
At the beginning children made a variety of exercises. For example, how can a pencil dot and line can make art. Then using those skills, we drew nature we would we want to see by looking out the window in Mooste.

Our kids liked the October project immediately. Everyone had fun and the ideas came very quickly. It was interesting to create a world of Pop-up for our friend!

These comics will for sure cheer you up! I wonder if the comic artist's friends in India will understand, relate, and chuckle all the same even if they don't speak Estonian. Aili Vassil, the artists' teacher, showed the work of Herluf Bidstrup as inspiration. Indeed, the Danish cartoonist, did just that!
Through the perspective of the artists in Mooste you'll catch a glimpse of how beautiful their town is with their historical buildings. You can even see MoKS across the street!
I wonder if their friends in India have ever seen such a place. We can share our worlds with each other!
