3rd Grade, China, USACommentAs we started the second pathfinder, students were uneasy about how they were going to visually show the sound of their friends' voices. Once we got the art medium in their hands and replayed many of the recording, the students allowed their creative juices to flow. All the teachers are very impressed with the visual art these students produced.

Children from Grade 1-3 participated in the three activities "A Map at the palm of your hand"," Sound travels"," Reinventing Trash". They used different materials and individual imagination to express their inner world.
One idea leads to another

As the students in Taizhou listened to their friend's soundscapes their ideas started to grow. Here you can see how each mind map is unique and how we all interpret sounds, images, and emotions in different ways. Loving the translation process in these artworks!
Teachers Miss Wu Juehua and Lisa did an amazing job encouraging their students to be as creative, open, and experimental as they can be. Thank you!

More beautiful artworks have arrived from the other side of the world to partake in Shenzhen Senior High School art exhibition, "Sharing Nature". Here, we can see photographs from artists living in Finland and in Australia.
Susie say, "I live in Sydney where there is lots of parks and wildlife. There are lots of national parks. My family usually go to the Royal National Park. The Royal National Park has lots of different hikes and beautiful sights. My dad and I even saw a wild kangaroo with a joeg in it's pouch! This one of the reasons why I love Australia."
Wow! This world really is gorgeous! Let's keep it that way, by taking care of it.

Art for Sharing Nature exhibition
2018, China, ExhibitionCommentWe have already received a couple of artworks for the Science & Art exhibition!
我们这次在深圳高级中学展览的主题是：Sharing Nature
The theme of our exhibition at Shenzhen Senior High School is: Sharing Nature
深圳处于中国的南端，芬兰隶属北欧，地域的差异直接影响了人们对环境的感知。通过在地球不同地域的自然环境，动植物的展示，让学生们关注自然，了解自然，保护自然。艺术的表现形式各异，有摄影图片，绘画等，都直接和间接表达了自然环境与孩子们的互动。
Shenzhen is at the southern tip of China and Finland is part of Northern Europe. Geographical differences directly affect people's perception of the environment. Through the display of animals and plants in the natural environment in different parts of the earth, students can pay attention to nature, understand nature, and protect nature. Different forms of art expressions, such as photography and painting, directly and indirectly express the interaction between the natural environment and the children.

Oil painting from Australia, Jeremy
I live in Queensland, Australia, which also known as Sunshine State, there we have plenty of sunshine and blue sky. Although we travel to different places every time. There is a kind of scenery that we must see, that is the sea. In the golden sunlight, my brother and I will build castles on the beach, and we race with the parents in the sea, or holding a surfboard in the sea and letting the waves push me in the water. I like the blue sea. For me the color of the sea represents the color of Australia.
孩子与自然的关系：我住在澳大利亚的昆士兰州，也叫阳光之州，这里阳光充沛，碧海蓝天。虽然我们每次旅游都会去不一样的地方，但是有一种景致是每次必定会去看的，那就是大海。金色阳光下我和弟弟会在沙滩上堆城堡，会和爸爸妈妈在海边赛跑，或者在海里抱着冲浪板让海浪推着我在水里飘来荡去。我喜欢大海的蓝色，对我来说大海的颜色就代表澳大利亚的颜色。

Draw or write what you hear
2018, China, FinlandComment
During the third project students were asked to listen to audio recordings from their friends in China. They were instructed to draw or write anything they heard that sounded like a word that was familiar to them. They could use Swedish, Finnish, and English words for the listening exercise. As we listened students, wrote words that they heard or that came to mind and drew pictures to accompany the words. When the listening exercises was over the students used mixed methods of collage and coloring to complete their images. Using bits cut from maps they created lines connecting their images to one another. They really enjoyed listening to what their friends had to say. Thanks so much to our friends in China! We really enjoyed collaborating with you on this project!
Sincerely,
Rachel Kangas

Our third Dear You project took place during the week leading up to Easter vacation. The students were asked to create a Easter eggs and while working they discussed their activities and what their environment looked like.
The first group was a bit shy but we discussed what we were going to say and even rehearsed saying it a few times before we created our recordings. The second group of students were very excited to describe their environment and discuss their families Easter traditions.

I See You! Swedish students stop to take a closer look.
China, Finland, 7 years old, 8 years olds, 9 years old, 10 years oldComment
In a small classroom in Finland students stop, take a moment, and visually explore photos of kids attending school in China. They see, if only for a few moments the visual characteristics and features of the child in the photograph. Using tracing paper the students traced the figures out of the photographs and onto a piece of paper. They added color to the students along with their own artistic touches. Throughout the process the students were encouraged to look closely at the photographs and asked; What did they see? Who is in the picture? What can you learn about them, what is the image telling you? Once the drawing were completed I transcribed short letters from each artist to the child in the photograph. They explained short things about themselves such as their favorite foods and hobbies.
Now they eagerly await for the exchanging of artworks.

The artists in China challenge realism!
10 years old, 2018, 3rd Grade, China, FinlandComment
The creation has sought the views of the children. They thought that their own photos can be printed out and then they were able to discuss their appearance characteristics. They also could talk about their good characters, talented things even favourite clothes, habitual actions, preferred colors and so on.
There are two kinds of creation, one is to draw themselves, the other is to draw among each other.
Some children believed it can be realistic. They stuck photos on the window and keep papers above them to describe in detail. Some children could also exaggerate some features of their own such as a round face more round, big eyes bigger, even can express themselves with decorative techniques besides expressing some features they don’t have but want to own. For example, short hair girl painted her wanted long hair, lively become calm. In the process of painting, they devoted themselves to draw a variety of styles of themselves.
King regards,
Teacher Lisa and Miss Wu Juehua
