Lovely children 1 / 可愛的孩子 1






今年夏天沒有出遠門的計畫,可是我想要認識很多小朋友,剛好同事們為孩子辦了夏令營,我很直率地跑去報名當美術課的講師。要準備課程的時候才開始覺得我是不是有點太直率了,雖然我在小朋友界裡很吃香,不過想到一下要應付四歲到十歲的孩子,再加上我不喜場面失控的個性,便有了小小的擔心,但既然都說了當然不能退縮。第一天我們要做的是馬蒂斯風格的拼貼和畫畫,在家把紙片都剪好,到現場隨小朋友自由發揮,應該會有很多美麗的小火花。

I do not plan to travel far this summer, but I do want to meet a lot of children. Hearing my colleagues' summer camp project for their kids, I couldn't help volunteering to give handicraft courses. It was not until I got down to details that I wondered if I was too impulsive. Despite my popularity among kids, I kind of panicked upon thinking if I could handle 22 children aged from 4 to 10. But the last thing I would do was to back out of the plan. 

   On the first day, we are going to create collages + drawings in the Matisse's style. I prepare many cut-outs for the children to use in class. I expect there to be a lot of amazing sparks. 








        小朋友可以幫小白人想像背景,選自己中意的紙張做排列,再為小白人畫上衣服。可能是媽媽在身邊陪伴,大家都很認真。

   Everyone can choose their own background design for their little white men and draw clothes for them. In their moms' company, the children are really well-behaved. 


        作品完成後,大家紛紛來找小淳老師說故事。這是來自澳洲的Miko,畫了美麗的公主在山林海洋和公園裡散步,非常大方,主動要求我拍照。

    After finishing their works, the kids come to tell me stories. This is Miko from Australia. Her story is about a beautiful prince taking a walk in the mountains, on the sea and in the park. She requests me to take a photo of her. What an outgoing and cute little girl. 








     和很多小朋友說完話之後有種很清新的感覺,很難用言語形容。

   I feel really refreshed after talking to a lot of children. It's a wonderful feeling beyond description. 




     雖然我沒做什麼事,可是我覺得自己收穫比小朋友還多!

  To be honest, I haven't done much, but I feel I've gained much more than the kids!
