When you work with children you never know whom you are dealing with. They come to your lessons wearing furry pullovers, funny ponytails, t-shirts with unicorns and minions. At first they look worried and and a little frozen. Time goes by and they warm up and open. You get to know the personality of a child, his or her peculiarities, dreams and fears. And then comes that big “boom” moment - they grow up and go on their way. It is very interesting to watch them in becoming mature. They grow moustaches and muscles, become adult, run marathon, move to Malaysia, graduate from a university, get family and children... And you just see those ponytails and minions. And each time there is a thought: “who could have guessed?” Yes we never know whom we are teaching. Will this boy invent a remedy against cancer or will he be an excellent father of a big family? Will she become an artist? Scientist? Model? We never know. I try to treat them with the respect in advance. What if I am talking to a future president, at the moment. And the requirements are quite high because of the same reason. “So Mr. President will you please finish your painting?”, something like that sounds in my head during the lessons.
Last Friday it was the last art club lesson during this term. Some of the students graduated the school and are leaving. What can I say? You have a long way to go. Beautiful and sparkling. And thank you very much that we were walking some part of it together. It was a great journey.
Parental committee made it possible to award the most hardworking students. Thank you very much. The prizes got Senni Syvänen (6j), Eimi Engman (5m) and Arwa Ali (3u). Thank you girls for the great works. Arwa wasn't present, so her presents are waiting for her.
Also we bought some brushes wooden artists manikin and marble paints for the next term. So, let's meet in August to start a new journey!
