10月22日开始第一次外教绘画课，孩子陆续来到爱阅思绘本馆，几个孩子都认识就开始玩起来，外教老师也早早的过来做了课前准备，18:00点准时开始上课，家长们有15分钟的观摩。一开始老师带着孩子们做了个自我介绍的小游戏，每个小朋友要说出上一个或几个介绍的人，比如老师叫Anya,下一个小朋友是Jason,那Jason就要说Anya,I am Jason,下一位是Leo,那Leo就要说，Anya,Jason,I am Leo,也是锻炼孩子的注意力，看老师是不是很用心，这位老师真得很用心，上课前还悄悄的问我，我上课要对孩子们说中文吗？我说尽量说英文，提供全英文的环境，老师果真对孩子尽量讲英文。
首先老师带孩子们认识了五种颜色，红（Red），黄（Yellow)，绿(Green)，蓝(Blue)，紫(Purple). 小朋友们都积极用英文回答着老师的问题，这种感观的学习英文也很不错，绘画英文学习两不误，真是两全其美吧。
(老师说什么了) Yesterday Students worked with watercolor paint to create abstracts shapes. When they finished with the color part, i asked them to look at the shapes they have created and find the associations with real objects, for example the shape looks like an animal or a person. This was a great exercise for logical thinking and showed every child's level of imagination.
到了第二个环节了，老师带领小朋友开画了，小朋友们都准备好了，老师说我们画个图案做背景吧，老师给小朋友们做了示范如何画好线条和各种形状，小朋友用水墨笔画着各种各样的线条和各种形状，这一部分是练习孩子的绘画的基础技能及培养他们绘画的基础技能。
看看小朋友的创作吧，老师为了让小朋友更多的发挥自己的想象力，跟着感觉走，老师也想看看孩子想象空间，了解每个孩子绘画的功底，来了，看每个小朋友都认真的画着。
(老师的总结)Second part of the project was to fill the background with patterns. Students used ink pen to draw various shapes and lines. This part showed me students drawing skills and the how developed their fine motor skills are.
第一位小朋友的作品是Leo,老师的评价，对使用各种美术的材料都充满好奇，用比较抽象的方法完成他的作品。以后我们要学习如何一步步的表达出完成的作品。
Leo was very curious to use all art materials and used a very abstract approach to his project. In the future we will learn how to work on the tasks step by step to be able to express his imagination in a more organized way.
又一位叫Leo的小朋友，老师又是怎么评价的呢 Leo发挥非常棒的想象力 ，甚至都能陈述出自己画的什么，今后我们可以更注重一下作品的细节。
Leo showed great imagination and even managed to put narrative into his drawing. In the future we should focus on working on details.
在课堂一开始，光明就是位非常活跃的小朋友，一旦开始绘画就变得很集中，并且创造出非常有趣的图案，颜色搭配也非常棒，有这方面的技巧。
Bright was very active in the beginning of the class, but once we started the work he became very focused, created interesting patterns and showed decent coloring skills.
Jason的作品展示很多好的想法，当被鼓励时，也很用心绘画，绘画时有点着急完成作品，需要培养完成每个细节的习惯。
Jason showed some very good ideas and works very well when encouraged. Was rushing his work a little bit, so needs to develop habit of completing each step properly.
最后一位小美女，绘画简直是有一种天赋，非常投入，而且绘画的特别棒，线条及形状绘画的恰到好处，第一次的杰作已经非常赞了，非常注意绘画作品中的每个细节。
Ivy stayed very focused and creative. She took her time to work on details and really considered every part of her work.
每个孩子都有非常大的潜力，我们下节课将集中学习形状，线条及一些基本颜色理论，在开始时也会让孩子练习一下想象力。孩子会慢慢地更好的培养自己的逻辑思维能力，通过更多参与有趣的课题，学会不同绘画技能。
All kids showed great potential. We will focus on learning shapes, lines and basic color theory in the beginning as well as bringing out children's imagination. Students step by step will develop better logical thinking and will learn different art techniques though engaging and fun topics.
我们留的家庭作业，老师提供了素材供参考，讲家长带着孩子们去练习，多练习我们上课时学得线条，练习绘画线条的基本技能，练习形状得绘画，注重不断的反复练习。用小朋友所掌握的形状和线条加上以狮子为背景来作画，并配上颜色，下节课记着和老师展示哦。
For the homework take a look at the lines we've learnt last class. Practice drawing the lines! Repeat the shapes we used and practice drawing them, too!
Use all the shapes and lines you learnt to fill the background of the lion picture! Color it!
感谢小朋友的出色表现和家长的陪伴。
