The “Voice of Hands” exhibition, a showcase of the study products of 5th-grade students in the interdisciplinary project of literature, Vietnamese, and visual arts, has left a strong impression on both students and parents.
In the Visual Arts subject, students learn painting techniques, considerations of composition, color, and lines to create harmonious and aesthetically pleasing artworks. Meanwhile, in the Literature-VVietnamese subject, students explore expressing emotions through the art of creation, comparing and contrasting with other forms of artistic expression. Through this, students express their need to convey emotions through this art form and learn to appreciate and create artistic beauty by following the path of artists who have gone before. Throughout this project, students have been equipped with knowledge and methods to express their emotions through specific painting works and writings. Particularly with innocence, authenticity, and being equally creative in expressing their thoughts and emotions, many student works at the exhibition have made parents pause for a long time to read, admire, and feel.
Present at the exhibition, Ms. Nguyen Van Trang, a student’s parent, shared, “The exhibition truly surprises the viewers. Despite being in 5th grade, the children have remarkably profound thoughts on social issues. Many areas, such as the environment, family, friends, emotions, etc., are clearly expressed through their drawings and writings. I had to take photos of many artworks to read and contemplate; there are many lessons we can learn from the children themselves. The combination of these two subjects is truly effective; they complement each other. Some children observe the paintings and then write, while others write before drawing, so every piece is filled with emotions.”
Currently, the products of the “Voice of Hands” exhibition are still on display in the E-hall of The Dewey Schools Tay Ho Tay. We invite all parents to revisit the opening moments of the exhibition by these “young artists” and to admire the achievements that TDSers have attained through this project!
