Rushan Five Village welcomes a group of young reporters..., June 1st
On June 1, the "Child-Friendly, Bio-Friendly - Nature Conservation Plants and Art Experience in Rushan Wucun" event was held in Rushan Wucun, Shanghai.
At the scene, under the leadership of experts and young artists from the Shangfang Garden Botanical Research Institute, more than 60 young reporters from the Youth Daily and children from Rushan Wucun and other communities observed native plants and participated in wall painting activities.
On the same day, experts from the Shangfang Garden Botany Research Institute guided the small press group of "Youth Daily" and community residents to the native plants planted in Rushan Five Villages. They also visited the nine exhibition panels of the Plant Science Gallery to learn about biological diversity.
As a community hub, the "Young Artists Co-Build Art Community Plan" has young artists Zhou Li and Chai Wentao from the Department of Traditional Chinese Painting, Department of Printmaking, and Art Management at the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, Shanghai University, as well as the Folklore Major at the School of Sociology at Shanghai University and Shanghai University of Engineering and Technology. Students from the social work major and the China Academy of Art worked with the children to experience plant wall painting on the four connected walls of the community. The pattern comes from plants grown in the five villages of Rushan. Based on the artist's early outlines, the children were divided into four groups and painted images together.
Wang Nanming, founder and curator of the community hub station, said: "Through art and plants, the Rushan Wucun Art Community has formed a new combination. This combination is not only the ecological science popularization of plants, but also the formation of art adapted to local conditions through art science popularization. Habitat’s innovation.”
According to reports, in the art community planning of Rushan Wucun, these event documents and artists' creations form an "art habitat" exhibition, which will be displayed in a small glass-walled space slightly updated in the residents' activity room.
