​Plein air painting, a French term meaning "open air," emphasizes painting outdoors, directly from nature. This approach allows artists to immerse themselves in the landscape, experiencing the changing light, colors, and atmosphere firsthand. The festival celebrates this tradition, encouraging participants to create art that reflects the true essence of their surroundings.

​Family and friends will walk through the festival, watching artists work and having conversations about techniques and inspiration. In particular, children can participate in kid-friendly drawing activities. I am also thinking of taking my child. So we are very busy preparing for it now. Since you have to participate with your child, there are more factors to consider. Since you will be painting outdoors for a long time, a small parasol, sunscreen, and a hat to block direct sunlight are essential. I also plan to bring extra water and a simple sandwich.

The Plein Air Painting Festival has deep meaning to our community. This is more than an art event. It is a celebration of our natural heritage and a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us every day. Through outdoor paintings, artists call attention to landscapes we might otherwise overlook and emphasize the need to preserve and cherish these spaces.

The festival also highlights the importance of art in everyday life. This shows how artistic expression can bring people together and foster a shared appreciation of art and nature. Each painting created during the festival becomes a testament to the artist's relationship with the environment, capturing fleeting moments of beauty and translating them into lasting works of art. After the festival, the painted works will be displayed at Reboli Center, a local gallery.

​As an artist, this is my first time participating in this event. After much thought, I decided to paint with watercolor rather than acrylic or oil. This is because you don't have much time to focus because you have to participate in something like a picnic with your child. I am well aware of the appeal of watercolor as a medium that allows you to draw quickly in the limited time you have. So I'm going to go with my favorite watercolor paints. I will first install the 4-person camping table below on the lawn. My child and the student assisting my child will be drawing together here.

​Preparing for outdoor painting requires thoughtful planning, the right equipment, and an open-minded attitude. By choosing an inspiring location, gathering essential supplies, and organizing your session efficiently, you can fully enjoy the unique and rewarding experience of creating art outdoors.

​And I'm going to unfold a small camping table and draw on it. My art supplies will go on top of this and I plan on putting a stand easel next to it.

​The size of the picture is limited by specifications. The drawing must not exceed 18 times 24 inches. I plan to draw as small a picture as possible.

In addition, I plan to bring medicine to repel ticks and mosquitoes. After the event tomorrow I will post a review. Perhaps more supplies will be added after the event.

​I am happy to share this experience here. If possible, I hope to meet as many fellow local artists and have the opportunity to see and discuss their work.

​Recently, I posted my current status on Facebook for the first time in a while.

​I expressed my gratitude to my friend who has constantly supported and encouraged me along my path. I would especially like to thank my artist friend Wei Yang, with whom I first exhibited, and my teacher and mentor Joachim Hirling, who paved the way for my first exhibition in 2011. I am also grateful to Prof.Rachev, who was my first customer and still collects my paintings as a VIP customer.

Additionally, I would like to thank Rachev and President Park Jin-moon. I am grateful to my precious art lovers who regularly purchase my paintings and willingly become VIP customers. Every year, I send them a calendar with my drawings. When I send out a calendar every year, I am grateful that I can draw without stopping and feel deep gratitude to my customers and art lovers who support me so that I can create new pictures every time. Without their support and encouragement, I wouldn't have been able to paint for over 10 years.

After 10 years, I feel like I have created my own world of painting and have been able to understand little by little what painting truly is to me. My mind gradually became more stable and relaxed, freeing itself from the initial nervousness, and learned to accept and love people and the world through painting.

I also learn how to express myself through drawing, build myself up, and protect myself. Every year I change through my paintings. I am also grateful for my precious students, who are my teachers. Every time I meet them, I feel like I become several years younger. The energy they give me is truly amazing. Their clear minds and happy smiles about paintings and art help me know what attitude I should have in front of paintings as an artist from now on.

Now I see people all over the internet quoting my pictures and using them in various ways. They make music with my images, produce brochures, and use them as cover art for church booklets. They never forget to say thank you. I also send a message of gratitude to the art lovers who share this news.

Because every time we hear news like this, we feel connected together as one human history root, with the same ancestors who painted before civilization in Altamira. And I also feel that we can truly become one within the painting. That is why, as an artist, I will continue to draw.

Flag Day, celebrated on June 14th, honors the adoption of the United States flag in 1777. Schools across the country often engage students in art projects to celebrate this patriotic day. Here are some inspiring ideas for student artworks that can make Flag Day both educational and fun

​These activities not only foster artistic skills but also instill a sense of national pride and an understanding of American history in students. Through their artworks, students can express their personal connection to Flag Day and celebrate the values and freedoms the American flag represents.

In the future, I will use artificial intelligence to work simply and quickly. I want to become an artist. Just as a candle brightens the surroundings, artificial intelligence can brighten the world with a single match. I can work non-stop.

I want to be a school nurse in the future. I will provide health care for sick children by using AI. Therefore we can find that sick students will reduce in the future school and they don’t need to miss out on their studies.

I don't know much about artificial intelligence, but I like it. Artificial intelligence is difficult for me, but I know that there is a lot of work to be done with it in the future. So I'm excited.

I symbolized the initial alphabet of artificial intelligence and drew a picture. I wanted to express the electrical flow between computers using watercolor. Artificial intelligence is mysterious because its operation is invisible, but it can do everything.

​I drew a picture with the concept of artificial intelligence using colored pencils. 
It looks like a computer man. In the future, computers will be as close to our lives as television was in the past.
 The world of artificial intelligence is really interesting.

In the future, my room will have shelves full of books. And I will become a digital artist who creates many images using the artificial intelligence generator inside the computer. ​
