Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2014 Newsletter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Talent has no age, it just needs to be discovered
and exploited. Gifted children have a very good
memory, play with art, love scene and attain
outstanding results at an early age. They say that
beauty is unusual, timeless and ageless. Art is art
and that is it. And the artist taught in childhood that
dreams and illusion can be turned into reality is just
a messenger whose only merit is to accept to carry
the work to the end. We believe therefore not
unusual that such "spokespeople" to exist among
children because the child does not deform but art
plays clearer, cleaner, being carved by masters,
life, goals and interests. It is expressed through
images, and reveals unexpected beauty by simply
moving the brush and playing with colors.
The results are particularly valuable as they are
proof of the worthwhile artistic talent of girls aged 8
or 9 who manage to dominate the scene and the
public, without emotions, supported only by the
love and support of their parents and school
teacher. My students are very young and trips cost
time and money but I think with sadness how many
nice things I could accomplish if I were allowed to
participate in events organised by well-known
schools through these partnerships in eTwinning.
For exemple, Tora and Andreea, two girls from 2nd
grade at National College of Arts "Octav Bancila"
already have remarkable results in various fields.
Tora paints on canvas, with oil, and has already had
five solo exhibitions at the Teachers’ House in Iaşi
and at the Athenaeum in Tătăraşi; she also plays
the violin, composes lyrics and does practical arts.
I hope I will find a solution because I know that a
modern teacher must always find the most
appropriate solutions to make every child a person
who satisfies the demands of the millennium alert,
dominated by science and technology, due to which
their knowledge today, tomorrow will not be useful.
But adaptive capacities and merits of intellectual
skills must enable them to confidently address any
new situation. Their role and responsibilities
assumed commit to a constant flow of theoretical
and practical information to enhance the prestige of
this profession and to do everything to help our
students because that is our mission as teachers.
Andreea has been awarded in two piano festivals,
and she has graduated an Interpretative Mastery
International Course, supported by Professor
Andreas Henkel from Dresden, Germany. She
composes verses and, as you all know, all the
children express themselves very beautifully
through art, colour and imagination.
In addition, both girls have very good results in
school and are passionate about theatre. Besides,
on April 5th, 2013, the naturalness, the originality
and the craftsmanship interpretative forces of these
two girls were rewarded with the first trophy of an
inter-county contest. Starting 2012 my entire
theatre team made of 5 students and named “The
Fireflies” has received 22 prizes.
