Dear You inspiring stories

In the case of the 4th grade group, they have chosen to narrate about the environmentally friendly cities that they have built. An invitation to take care of our planet can be heard in 3 short videos. In the case of the 5.6.7 grade group, they have chosen to do 3 short and cute plays to share with the kids from Ukraine.

Within the self-portrait process we have gone out to look in nature for elements in which we feel represented.

During the art camp we made artworks from Dear You's Where Shall We Go project. Everybody dreamt, visualized and came up with different ways of expressing their ideas and places of where they would like to go.
Sound travels
11 years old, Together We Make, Together 20201 CommentYou are where you should be. You are a point on a map. You make a sound even when you are quiet. You are felt even when you think you are invisible.
Olet missä pitäisi olla. Olet pointti kartalla. Sinulla on ääni mutta kuitenkin olet hiljaa. Olet aina täällä, vaikka sinusta tuntuu, että olet näkymätön.
آپ وہیں پر ہیں جہاں آپ کو ہونا چاہیے۔ آپ نقشے پر ایک نقطہ ہیں۔ آپ کی آواز ہے اگرچہ آپ خاموش ہیں۔ آپ کو محسوس کیا جا سکتا ہے اگرچہ آپ کے خیال میں آپ غائب ہیں۔
Do you have Jellyfish in Ireland?
2019, 3 years old, 4 years old, 5 years old, 6 years old, 7 years old, 8 years olds, 9 years old, 10 years old, 11 years old, AustraliaComment
After life had taken a hold of us all here in Australia with the colder weather upon us, two of the families finally managed to meet for our second session.
All were super excited to open the parcel from Ireland and see what our friends had sent. They were very impressed with the drawings but also with the information that they conveyed. They all started asking so many questions, which was great because that was exactly what today’s session was about!
After introducing different types of graphics and typography the group got to work on the question/s they wanted to ask. They all naturally began by drawing what their interests were and the question they wanted to ask their Irish friends came later in text form.
Due to the age range from 3 to 11 the questions varied from ‘Do you have Jellyfish in Ireland’, ‘Do you like swimming?’, ‘Do you like rain?’ and ‘Do you like monsters?’
Looking forward to the next session seeing what our friends have to say.

The thoughtful artistic process in Barcelona
10 years old, 11 years old, 2018, 4th Grade, Dear You Art Workshops, Finland, SpainComment
The artists at SOLC in Barcelona have shared their creative process of making a self-portrait. They sketched their ideas of what personality traits and things about themselves they would like to tell their new friends in Finland. Before they took their photographs they first experimented with the camera and found many different ways to play with the images.
Great job!

Looking at us through a lens

The artists at Vesalan peruskoulu in Finland are so excited to have new friends in Spain! We had a good discussion about languages and all the different ways we can communicate. In the group we have people who speak Finnish, Russian, Arabic, English, and probably many other languages, but we realized that art is a language too! And today we experimented with using photography as our medium!
Since this was the first project in getting to know our friends we first thought of things we like about ourselves and characteristics that we would like to share with them.
Then we experimented with photography! The characteristics we wanted to highlight guided our camera. Some of us went outside (in freezing cold weather!) to take the self-portraits while others used different techniques to spread their message such as drawing. In any case, the final work was a photographic self-portrait.
To round out the session we looked at some self-portraits from Nan Goldin, Josef Koudelka and Zev. Everybody could share their own perspectives on how that photographic spoke to them.
We look forward to seeing our friend's self-portraits!
