In de morning the group visited the primary school of Rämälä to see
the art education workshops in the 1st and 2nd group by Marja de
Jong.
Children are offered a palette with the primary colors and white and
a piece of white paper, this time 20x20 cm.
They started to mix as much colors as possible and bring them on
their paper. This is a way to makes it easy that the background will
be part of the final painting. Often children draw with their brush
a shape and start coloring it later. In this way they get the
feeling how to develop their image step by step.
In the first workshop they painted with bigger brushes as their is
much space to cover.
In the introduction they have seen different pictures from artists
with a different way of painting. This is important to give
attention to create an own handwriting in painting by children.
The group has made an own weblog below the translated text from
their weblog:
"To this day, the path is arts education, the difference ..."
Marja de Jong
Morning in Rämälä ...
The artist Marja de Jong started an art session with an elementary
school class where recalled the way to pick up the brush and the
color mixing technique in a palette already worked in earlier time.
Proposed an abstract operation of each possible color shades, in
order to color the entire surface of the paper. While the kids
started, activity, Marja explained to us the importance of starting
the process by pure exploration of color and not an issue that could
block the expression. In this way, children experience the
possibilities of the process, gaining a code, a language ...
rehearsing without knowing, Monet brushstrokes ... Chagall ...
In contrast, she commented that there is plastic works, schools,
apparently creative but often based on stereotyped materials and
codes that have nothing divergent. What is surprising in a society
that is intended creative and innovative.

In the afternoon there was a visit to the Dutch sculptor Lucien
den Arend who lives since 2013 in Kangasniemi and has installed his
own sculptures in his garden.
From the weblog of the group:
The sculptures of a lifetime in a body garden and soul - Lucien den
Arend
Late in Kangasniemi ...
The sculptor Lucien den Arend has given us a visit to your
particular garden which brings together some of the works of art
that have been exhibited in various cities in the world. The
diversity of shapes and materials merge with the green landscape
bathed in one of the thousands of lakes in Finland. He made us one
trip where memories of the senses and the accounts converged in a
single meeting. He reported to other artists such as Henry Moore,
with whom he shared ideas and sculpture techniques. He told us of
his technical rigor based on the intentionality of curved lines and
reading of diversity in the way of the produced object.
Lucien den Arend is an important element in the way of promotion of
art and art education in the countryside of Finland, Marja de Jong,
a member of the board of AREFS Association welcomed us in this
ERASMUS PLUS program.
