『萧勤回家』美术展课程汇报，期待十月校庆联展

这学期我校2年级学生有幸受邀出席在中华艺术宫举行的“萧勤回家”美术作品回顾展开幕式。萧勤出生在上海，是一位著名的艺术家。

This semester Premier Grade 2 students had the privilege of being invited to the opening of a retrospective art exhibition, called “Coming Home” at the China Art Museum gallery, by the famous Shanghainese born artist Hsiao Chin. 

学生们认真聆听萧勤讲述他敢于冒险的艺术天性，还有他从5岁开始在海外留学、生活的经历，至今他94岁高龄，仍然不放弃艺术创造。

The students listened to HC speak about his adventurous artistic personal and physical life’s journey overseas, from a young boy of 5 to the present, 94 years young and still making art.

萧勤个性开朗，热爱思考，将这样的态度赋予他的生活和人生阅历，也反应在他的抽象作品里。

HC’s joyful and intellectually thoughtful attitude towards life and its experiences, radiates through his Abstract artworks.

学生们多次参观萧勤的画展，感受作者不同的抽象画艺术形态，了解萧勤花费毕生的时间创作，这点深深影响学生们的自我创作，尤其是他们对教室的设计装饰。

Students visited his exhibition several times to enjoy the different styles of abstraction that HC had helped to develop over his long career and then to work on their designs, in the specially provided education room.

学生们在美术作品中如何使用颜色，且表达出情感和心理颇有心得，利用几何图形突显作品的象征性和深一层意义，也富有实践经验。

Students had prior knowledge of how colour has emotional psychological effects on their responses to art and built on that experience to learn that geometric shapes also have symbolic and deeper universal and spiritual meanings.

对于2年级学生来说，他们的艺术表现力令人印象深刻，远超出他们的实际年龄。上周在学校内举行的美术作品汇报展中，学生们可以自信地介绍作品创作的由来和感受，我们将他们的作品一系列展出，从中可以发现他们的创作灵感和创作过程。

Their artistic responses were genuine and remarkably mature for such a young grade. They were able to verbally reflect on their own art and talk about their feelings with confidence at the concluding event held in our school’s auditorium last week. Their wonderful artworks were also displayed and a collaborative mosaic, work in progress, based on one student’s own design was revealed.

学生们将继续创作，直到今年10月的校庆美术作品联展上，隆重推出展示所有作品。

It is planned to be finished in time for the Grand 10 year Xiehe Art Exhibition at Pudong campus this October.
