Growing picture!When you teach children, at some point you will see them understand the principle and jump. At times like these, I feel the greatest joy and reward as a teacher. Recently, the following students among my students began drawing with a perfect understanding of perspective and composition. Based on this understanding, we can find that their paintings become more three-dimensional and richer. When children draw for the first time, they enjoy drawing as they freely spread their imaginations. But as children get older, they want to expand their drawings more. Children with these concerns often ask questions, worry, compare themselves to other children, and have a desire to draw better. When my students have this mindset, I begin explaining the drawing skills in detail. And through this process, we find that students rapidly improve their drawing skills, enrich their statements, and gain confidence and assurance through drawing. And when they reach this point, their picture is sure to change. You will gain an understanding of space and objects, and you will be able to understand your flat paper in a more three-dimensional way. You can draw a picture and write a statement that fits the topic. They also shine light on their paintings and imagines objects changing depending on the light. I help kids get to this level. And this level coincides with the point at which I first began to understand painting. When I reached this point, I was able to go deeper into the world of painting. But if you don't know this point, you have no choice but to copy and draw forever. That's really unfortunate.
Because the white space before my eyes is the only world I can create. There, it creates light, makes wind blow, illuminates objects brilliantly, and creates shadows. Sometimes the paper itself informs me, the artist, of certain objects and images. I draw with great wonder, as if the paper were a living creature. If you know this joy, you won't be able to bear it without drawing every day. And when my students discover the world they are creating on paper, they soon realize that art class is not just play time. Instead of chatting and playing and not drawing, they can play in the drawing. I love seeing these changes.

Beautiful Wind Energy Art by StudentsThese are the works of students who drew pictures titled Beautiful Wind Art. Each person drew a picture using watercolor, mixed media, crayon, and colored pencils.
Above all, the wind is invisible to the eye. Works that show the beauty and gratitude of this invisible world help students understand the concept of the essence of art. Artists are people who capture and draw the invisible beauty or essence of objects, so contemplating and observing this essence is an essential virtue and ability that artists must possess. In this sense, I ask my students to think, observe, and imagine the essence and beauty of invisible objects from their own perspective. If these efforts are continued, not only artists but also everyone who do not need to draw will be able to catch, appreciate, and love the beauty hidden in small objects around them. Congratulations at the Suffolk level of 2023-2024 reflection program!Congratulations to student, Miro for winning at the Suffolk level of this year's Reflections program. National PTA has a long-standing commitment to arts education. The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life. The Reflections Program is a National PTA and New York State PTA cultural arts competition that gives students confidence in their abilities to explore ideas and learn through the arts! Each year hundreds of thousands of students in preschool through grade 12 create and submit original works in the areas of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts. Students participate in the Reflections program in the division for their grade: primary (pre-K to grade 2), intermediate (grades 3-5), middle school (grades 6-8), high school (grades 9-12) and special artist (all grades welcome). Below is the theme for the 2023 contest.
Beauty a refuge from counterfeit façade.Beauty is a sanctuary from the deceptive guise of superficiality. It transcends the surface, delving deep into the soul, where authenticity resides. True beauty emanates from genuineness, integrity, and kindness, serving as a beacon in a world often cloaked in pretense. It is not merely a façade but a reflection of inner grace, untouched by the passing fads of external appearances. In its purest form, beauty invites connection, cultivates empathy, and fosters understanding, enriching the lives it touches with its timeless allure.
I am an artist who studies and paints what true beauty is. This is the theme of my new watercolor painting. This is also something that humanity has been thinking about and wanting to pursue for a long time. I haven't made this picture public yet. It takes time to complete and requires deeper reflection and research. I am eagerly awaiting the results of this work. What else does this picture teach me? I am very curious about that. Three Open Calls Information from Mills Pond GalleryThis year, I planned to actively participate in open calls with a more community-centered focus. First, because of my love for Long Island, where I live, and because I wanted to share art with my neighbors and local residents whenever possible. Of course, even if the work is done regionally, thanks to the technology of the Internet , all of the activities are linked to art lovers in other regions. I especially love my local gallery, Mills Pond Gallery. This gallery is like my second hometown. My first gallery was the Poly Gallery in Germany. Mills Pond Gallery was the gallery that helped me up my shaky knees and held my hand when I first set foot in this strange place. Miss. Allison, the gallery curator and director, warmly welcomed me. I never forget that scene. Still, when I visit this gallery, she looks at me with those warm, beautiful blue eyes that I remember from before. Every time I take my picture, I think that her eyes are as warm and beautiful as the blue sea of Long Island.
I plan to showcase my work more actively here in the future. This gallery is always at the top of my priorities. And I want to attend all the open calls held here as much as possible. In reality, there are times when this is not possible due to busy schedules. There are times when it is difficult to attend the reception and there are times when the work cannot be finished on time. But I'm going to try my best this year. |
