Title: Another 3 groups of new students attended my 4th -6th Chinese poetry class at Seymour R-II School, MO, USA-Sep 18, 2013
Artist:
Size:
Completed Time: Sep 19, 2013
Remarks:
After having 6 Chinese poetry lessons with singing, 6 Chinese Baimiao painting lessons with Chinese ink, I offered the last 3 Chinese Xieyi Painting with colors.

At the first Chinese Baimiao paintings, I asked students to keep their brush straight, keep their breath, keep the style as writing and to responsible to every line... therefore, I encouraged them to work quietly, to follow the sketches that I had given them seriously.

But in a Chinese xieyi painting, I encourage them to work freely, did not need to follow my idea, but to develop their imagination and to "write out " something in their minds freely. :-)

Then, can you imagine? In some of the groups, such as this group on the photo, a girl raised her hand and asked me whether they could sing. :-)

To sing? I asked them what they wanted to sing? Several students said "the Chinese poem". :-)

Can you imagine how happy I was. :-) So, I said Yes.

Then accompanied the singing, this group of students completed their painting in their own singing... :-)
