Young shoots for the planet – Vincennes (FR)

‘Young shoots for the planet’: Relational Art workshop where young pupils from kindergarten Franklin Roosevelt (Vincennes) are asked to heal our planet, depicted by a black and white print of the drawing  ECHOINGLIFE. The compositions are then pasted on the playground walls. This work falls within the teacher Xavier ‘Praviex’ approach to raise his pupils’ awareness of urban art.

“The flower that needs you”

“Today, kids, I’m going to show you a very special flower. She comes from a magical world where plants have so many shapes that we can’t even see them all! But this flower has a small problem… She has lost her colors.
Without her colors, she is a little tired, a little sad, and the nature around her becomes all gray.

Fortunately, you are here!

When you color this flower, you give it life again:
the petals start moving again, the leaves start breathing again, and even the hidden parts regain their magic. Each color you choose repairs a piece of nature. Blue can bring back water, green can wake up plants, yellow brings light, and all your invented colors will give new powers to the flower. Today, you are not just going to color. You will heal nature with your hands, and help this flower become alive and wonderful again. When you are done, she will be more beautiful than ever… And she will say thank you in her own way:
by spreading magic all over the class.”
