Spring in Finland: Birch Forest Art Project

In our school's 2009 art exhibition, Class 2.C led by Arja Moilanen created a project themed on Finnish spring. The project involved a visit to a forest, design planning in the classroom, and detailed artwork creation. Teacher-guided activities ensured each student contributed a unique part to the birch forest collage, culminating in a vibrant display showcased at the art exhibition, where parents admired the students' creativity and teamwork. This project aimed to immerse students in Finland's natural beauty and foster artistic expression through a collaborative effort.
