On the last day of winter on February 28 as a part of the Good Cause Every Day! promo event employees of the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation visited Kyiv boarding school number 17. The purpose of the visit was somewhat unusual – to teach the kids the art of making the popular Korean songs from a long, narrow strips of paper called “quilling”.
Children gladly create three-dimensional artwork with colorful flowers, cheerful clowns and colorful fireworks of red paper strips, twirling them in a pen with metal rods. And then just as much fun taking pictures with their own compositions.
Representatives of the foundation believe that art, like “quilling”, are vital in the curriculum of schools that engage children with special needs. First, the technique of “quilling” helps kids develop motor skills, helping them to develop a rebellious handle. Second, the “quilling” develops patience and perseverance – because the stripes of the composition have to roll for quite some time. Third, the “quilling” does not require significant financial outlay, so each school can afford it.
Thus, a master class on “Quilling” held in Kyiv boarding school number 17, was a revelation, not only for students but also for teachers, which will now be useful to introduce Korean art in the classroom work. This is fine, because we are together with love in your heart are building a new world!
