"Appreciation of Masterpieces"
Themed Parent-Child Reading Salon
On the morning of June 23, 2024, the theme activity of "Master Works Appreciation" of the brand activity "Children's Reading Island" Parent-child Reading Salon of Qingdao Women and Children's Activity Center was held as scheduled in the Firefly Parent-Child Reading House of the center.
During the event, Mr. Wang Zhifang, a member of the expert team of "Children's Reading Island" and a promoter of parent-child reading in the island city, led the participating children and parents to read the wonderful picture books "Dawn" and "The Way the Day Begins".
"Dawn", a picture book of less than 100 words, a few small paintings with not too bright colors, does not look peculiar. In Mr. Wang's interpretation, everyone found that picture books are really books for people aged 0-99.
Mr. Wang told everyone that when reading picture books and reading the content, they should observe carefully and understand with their hearts. Through reading together, everyone found that the author of "Dawn" is remarkable, and the echo of each painting and text has a very appropriate expression of Dawn; The slight sparkle on the reflection of the mountain and the lake allows everyone to see the wind; Although there is no language in the appearance of the characters, every action interprets the tacit understanding between the grandfather and grandson; The serene morning, the humid environment, and the lonely boat all reveal the silence of dawn. In the silent picture, the fire seems to make a "crackling" burning sound, and the paddles of the boat paddle on the surface of the lake also cause a "whooshing" splash.
Teacher Wang asked the children, how can they see sound on a silent picture? The children say: the voice is in the heart! This should be the master's excellent works that bring us sensory touch and spiritual resonance.
"The Way the Day Begins" is another beautiful masterwork, the author and the painter words and pictures are perfectly matched, so that everyone can feel that people all over the world are full of infinite beautiful yearning for the sun and life. Although Patrick lives in a desert area, she has a profound description of the inner connection between nature and people, and she writes about her love for nature in the form of prose poems. Although the children who participated in this activity were generally young, they could still feel the beauty of the words and the love that the author wanted to express.
In the exchange session, the parents said that they usually only feel busy and noisy in life, and they are very happy to feel the poetry and distance with the children in parent-child reading and companionship, this beautiful feeling has been lost for a long time, and they are grateful for the teacher's guidance in reading, and they are also grateful for this gathering to get common growth through parent-child reading.
The "Children's Reading Island" parent-child reading salon will be held every Sunday morning, with activities and themes every week. The activity is open to children aged 5-12 and their parents to recruit as a family unit, and also accepts the class parent committee to make an appointment for customization, welcome more people who love reading and hope to grow together in reading to participate, and share the joy and harvest of parent-child reading.
