趁阳光正好，白墙绿树
On October 20th, 2019, from 9 am to 12 pm, TREEART’s team of teachers led some of our young artists in a large outdoor sketching event at Chijmes in Singapore. The event included 50 young artists and their parents, led by our Course Director, Tiger, who had just returned from a study tour in Europe.
2019年10月20日上午九点到十二点，TREEART的教师团队带领我们的部分小艺术们在新加坡赞美广场（Chijmes）举行了一次大型写生活动。本次活动共有50名小艺术家携家长一同参与，由刚刚从欧洲采风学习归来的TREEART课程总监Tiger老师主讲。
Event Preparation
准备活动
A week prior to the event, the entire TREEART teaching team visited the sketching location for a “site survey” and designed sketching courses with varying content based on the same theme for children of different age groups.
活动开始前一周，TREEART全部教师团队就先行到达写生地点进行”踩点”并为不同年龄段的孩子设计同一主题但不同内容的写生课程。
At TREEART, we believe that sketching is not an activity that only children who have undergone professional training and possess high skill levels can participate in. Instead, we believe that anyone who loves art, life, and can appreciate the beauty in everyday life can pick up a brush, step out of their homes and create.
在TREEART眼中，写生从来不是一件只能由专业学习过很久的、具备很高技巧和功底的孩子才能参与的创作活动，相反，我们认为任何热爱艺术、热爱生活、能够发现生活中的美的人都可以拿起画笔走出家门去写生、创作。
Of course, the significance and focus of sketching differ for children of different ages. Younger children may produce less accurate sketches, but their natural curiosity allows them to capture unique beauty that adults may not easily perceive. Therefore, our teachers guide them in observing and experiencing the scenery, before using creative materials and tools prepared in advance to complete their sketches or recreate the scene.
当然，写生的意义和重点对于不同年龄、不同程度的孩子们来说是不一样的。小龄的孩子们在写生过程中，对于景物的还原度较低，但由于孩子们天性中的好奇心，他们能够捕捉到大人不能轻易发现的独特之美，所以TREEART的老师们会更多地去引导他们观察景物，并带领他们去体验去参与，当孩子们真正的融入、感受景物之后，TREEART老师们再利用提前备课为孩子们准备的其他创意性材料和工具完成对景物的还原或再创造。
Event Highlights
活动实况
At 9 am, parents and children gathered at the entrance of the Chijmes Cathedral, where they received their sketching T-shirts. Tiger led the participants on a tour of the cathedral’s interior and exterior, sharing the history of Chijmes and giving a detailed explanation of Gothic architecture and its artistic characteristics.
二十号上午九点，家长朋友们带着TREEART小艺术家们在赞美广场教堂正门口集合，由老师给孩子们分发写生T-Shirt。集合完毕后，本次活动的主讲老师Tiger带领大家参观教堂内外，其间Tiger老师给小朋友们讲述了Chijmes的历史由来，并对哥特式建筑风格和其艺术特点进行了详细讲解。
After the tour, children were divided into groups based on their age for sketching sessions led by TREEART teachers. To ensure that each age group could complete their artwork under the guidance of professional teachers, TREEART maintained a teacher-student ratio of no more than 1:6.
讲解结束后，依据年龄将孩子们分成了不同的创作小组，然后由TREEART的老师带领进行分组创作。老师们根据名单认领组员之后，将孩子们带到赞美广场的不同地方开始授课。为了确保每一个年龄段的孩子，都能够在专业老师的指导下完成自己的作品，TREEART依旧坚持每组老师与学生的比例不超过1:6。
In addition to sketching, we also gained knowledge about history and architecture.
除了写生，我们还了解了历史和建筑的知识呢。
Even amid the hustle and bustle of the outdoors, the children paid close attention to the TREEART teachers’ instructions, demonstrating their passion for painting. At TREEART, our goal is for each of our young artists to genuinely appreciate art and live their lives with an artistic mindset.
孩子们即使在户外嘈杂或喧嚣的环境中，也能认真听TREEART的老师们讲解，可见大家对于绘画的热情是十分高涨的呢。TREEART团队一直想做到的其实也就是希望我们每一位小艺术家都能够真心喜欢艺术，然后带着”艺术家”的心态去生活。
As the event drew to a close, the children completed their artworks one after another. Finally, TREEART’s teachers gathered the children for a group photo in front of Chijmes, marking the successful conclusion of the sketching event.
到活动快结束时，孩子们陆陆续续完成了创作。最后TREEART的老师们带领着孩子们一起在赞美广场前拍了合照，本次写生活动就圆满结束啦。
Sketching Scene
创作现场
Despite the strong sun, the children’s enthusiasm for creation remained high. Although sketching outdoors may not provide the ideal conditions of an art studio, being immersed in nature can inspire and ignite greater passion in children. When each creator becomes fully engrossed in their work, the outside world fades away, leaving only themselves, their tools, and the scene before them.
即是太阳很大，孩子们的创作热情依旧不减。写生或许没有画室的条件良好，但置身于自然环境中能够带给孩子们更多的灵感和激情。当每一个创作者全情沉浸创作中的时候，外界环境其实早就被抛诸脑后了，他们的世界里只剩自己、画具和眼前的景物。
After the sketching event, many TREEART young artists proudly showcased their creations. Seeing the children’s genuine smiles, we believe they have gained a great deal from this experience.
写生活动结束后，不少TREEART小艺术家们向我们展示了他们的成品。看着孩子看着孩子们满心的笑容，我们相信这一次他们是有收获的。
