In summer 2016 AREFS is co-organizer of two youth art camps in
Vehmaskylä.
As part of the experiences it is a challenge to make an own underlayer for a painting. To prepare a good underground the group used layer of news paper, fabric, cleaning paper and silk paper. To fix them together they used wall paper glue.
The first layer on the paper-mache is preparing the final painting in which the landscape around the camp is an inspiration.
It is difficult for children to continue on a work that has already
painted, but the ideas are coming through the paint and the way they
are moving their brush and mixing their colors.
The works show how color and paint are transformed to an own view on the landscape. Every child brings its own reference with him and from that point the exploration of the environment starts. The challenge of the demanding material makes it possible children discover a world they did not see before and they even imagine before. That is the moment on which the art offers its magic.
Usual children collect all kind of material, objects and stuff they like and maybe can use sometime, somewhere or for some purpose. Based on nature art works of professional artists, children have created arrangements with nature material. Just as in the past these 'signs' can be found allover the routes humans where entering new areas.
During the art and eco camp children painted an own banner on which a tree has to be as high as the fabric. The first layer with diluted paint, and the second layer (after drying) with less diluted paint. The acrylic paint guarantees that the paint is not soluble in the next layer.
