“Made at Dongguri Shared School”: Gyeonggi Museum Shows Kids’ Fruit-and-Soil ArtCreatrip Team
2 months ago
The Gyeonggi Museum of Art is displaying the results of the Dongguri Shared School program in a small gallery inside its museum shop through the 26th. The show, titled “Fruit–Dot, Soil–Crayon,” shares artworks created by children and families who joined two projects: “Vegetable Zine Making” and “Ansan-color Crayon.” In the zine workshop for grades 4–6, students observed local vegetables and fruits and turned their responses to ecological changes from climate change into small handmade books (zines). The family program had participants collect local soil to make their own crayons and use them to depict endangered animals, fostering observation, discovery of color, and shared storytelling. Twelve finished works are on view along with drawings and process records, highlighting how everyday materials—fruit and soil—are translated into visual language through dots, lines, and crayons. The museum director says the exhibition celebrates collaboration between the museum and local education authorities and hopes the creative experience will spread throughout the community.
