"Meet the Artist (3:54)," My lovely students and me.
"Welsey building dreams -- about the art exhibition (2:00)"
Not the easy project, but I also really enjoyed it. My most struggle was how to let my students take initiative, find joy and gain self-esteem. All my students experienced watercolour for the first time in their lives. They tended to be very passive at the beginning. A wonderful changing process was that the students began to enjoy watercolour more and more, even without me, a teacher! Yey!!!! The students learned not to rely on a third party, but they've found they were the agencies of lives. You see in Youtube, the students show gorgeous colours and draw freely! The participants have all found new confidence and enthusiasm for watercolour through the sessions on the program. My clients sublimated their uniqueness into beauty and created interesting art work. The result was the incredible pop up exhibition. Certainly, my gifted students painted their dreams.
... after the last session, when all the students were gone and I became alone in a room, I cried in joy...

DeleteYou are as gently beautiful as I imagined! I think it's interesting the way some of the kids (I think of them as kids) paint abstractly and some representationally. Love how you colored the drawing. I always with watercolors, limit my shading. Got to reconsider that..
ReplyDeleteHi, you, too, gently beautiful as I imagined! (I really like your face on the avator). Yes, our kids enjoyed drawing. If we draw like children, we make wonderful work, I'm certain and Piccaso said the same thing. Enjoy drawing, think nothing! Best wishes, Sadami
DeleteWonderful to see you in action, and the joy on those faces - really a gift to be introduced to painting and know you can do it anytime, any way you like to.
ReplyDeleteThank u, Cathy! This project has given me the confidence to accept any client with respect and assist them to "bloom out what they are fully"... that's our uni study. My uni friends are social workers and teachers.
