I know that your pumpkins are also travelling and going outside the class, great idea!

Edessa, Greece, Elizabeth Theodoridou

English:

KONNICHIWA! I'm Yayoi Kusama. I'm so happy to come to your schools around Europe! I hope you enjoy Art as I did when I was a little child. I was born in Matsumoto, Japan, and I loved drawing everything I saw: flowers, plants, little stones....

When I was 28 years old I took a plane and flew to New York to follow my dream. It was a stormy night and a long trip!
Your local language: Γεια σας! Είμαι η Yayoi Kusama. Είμαι τόσο χαρούμενη που έρχομαι στα σχολεία σας σε όλη την Ευρώπη! Ελπίζω να απολαμβάνετε την ΤΕΧΝΗ όπως την απολάμβανα κι εγώ όταν ήμουν ένα μικρό κοριτσάκι. Γεννήθηκα στο Ματσουμότο, στην Ιαπωνία, και μου άρεσε να ζωγραφίζω όλα όσα έβλεπα γύρω μου: λουλούδια, φυτά, μικρές πέτρες... Όταν έγινα 28 χρόνων, πήρα ένα αεροπλάνο και πέταξα στη Νέα Υόρκη για να ακολουθήσω το όνειρό μου. Ήταν μια νύχτα με καταιγίδα και το ταξίδι μου ήταν πολύ μακρύ!

Achilleio, Greece, Karamitros Giorgos

English:

My dream was to become an artist, and yours? All beginnings are difficult. I had just a suitcase with some kimonos, drawings and some money. But in New York everything seemed to be possible.

I worked day and night painting thousands of dots. I had lots of paintings but no money. I felt like a small dot in universe.
Your local language:Greek
Το όνειρο μου ήταν να γίνω καλλιτέχνης,το δικό σου; Κάθε αρχή και δύσκολη. Είχα μόνο μία βαλίτσα με μερικά κιμονό, ζωγραφιές και λίγα χρήματα. Στην Νέα Υόρκη όμως όλα έμοιαζαν να είναι πιθανά.
Δούλευα μέρα νύχτα σχεδιάζοντας χιλιάδες κουκκίδες. Είχα πολλούς πίνακες αλλά καθόλου χρήματα. Ένοιωθα σαν μία μικρή κουκκίδα μέσα στο σύμπαν.

19o Athens Greece Marina Papavasileiou

English:

I wasn't alone, I made great friends! I met Georgia O'Keeffee, a successful American artist who helped me to sell my firsts paintings and introduced me to other artists.

I manage to put on my first solo exhibition!
Your local language:

Ciucă Olga Maria, Kindergarten No. 111 Bucharest, Romania

Language: English//Romanian

English: I keep on working and exhibiting my work around United States and Europe. I became a successful artist, my dream had come true! My dots spread around the world.
Your local language: Romana
Continui sa lucrez si sa-mi expun munca in Statele Unite si Europa. Am devenit un artist de succes, visul meu devenise realitate! Punctele mele s-au răspândit în întreaga lume.

Ceip Blas Infante, Trebujena, Spain.

(Trebujena team)

Language: English/Spanish

English:

I also organized performances covering people's bodies with dots. I designed clothes covered with dots and sometimes I even took selfies at my art installations wearing dotted dresses, creating an immersive effect.
Your local language: SPANISH
También organicé performances cubriendo el cuerpo de la gente con puntos. Y diseñé ropa cubierta de lunares, a veces incluso me hago selfies en mis instalaciones artísticas vestida con vestidos de lunares a comjunto con la obra, creando un efecto inmersivo.

Gonca Emil - Mehmet Hasan Sert Prımary school - Konya \ Turkey

English:

I loved dots and pumpkins, so I created pumpkin sculptures covered with dots. You can see them at many museums around the world, but also outside, standing out near the sea, like huge Naoshima pumpkin. I know that your pumpkins are also travelling and going outside the class, great idea!
Your local language: Turkısh
Noktaları ve balkabaklarını seviyordum, bu yüzden noktalarla kaplı balkabağı heykelleri yaptım. Bunları dünyanın birçok müzesinde görebilirsiniz, aynı zamanda dışarıda, deniz kenarında, devasa Naoshima balkabağı gibi duruyorlar. Balkabaklarınızın da seyahat ettiğini ve sınıfın dışına çıktığını biliyorum, harika fikir!

Ceip Inspector Joan Capó, Mallorca, Spain. (Marina)

Language: English/Catalan

English:

In addition I liked mirrors and I created an art installation called "All the eternal Love I have for pumpkins". Have you got mirrors in your classroom? Do you like being reflected on them?They are magical, that's why I invented "infinity rooms".
Your local language: CATALAN
A més a més, m'agraden els miralls, així que vaig crear la instal·lació artística anomenada "Tot l'amor etern que sento per les carabasses". Teniu miralls a la vostra escola? Us agrada veure-us reflectits en ells? Son màgics, per això em vaig inventar les "habitacions infinites".

Monemvasia school, Greece, Georgia Triantou

Language: English/Greek

English: I created interactive art installations such as "obliteration room", a big white room where kids like you were invited to cover everything with stickers. It was exhibited at Queensland Art Gallery as a kids project and later on at Tate Museum for adults and many other museums.
Your local language: Greek
Δημιούργησα διαδραστικές εγκαταστάσεις τέχνης, όπως το "δωμάτιο εξάλειψης" ένα μεγάλο λευκό δωμάτιο στο οποίο, παιδιά σαν εσάς, καλούνταν να καλύψουν τα πάντα με αυτοκόλλητα. Εκτέθηκε στην πινακοθήκη του Κουίνσλαντ ως παιδικό έργο και αργότερα στο μουσείο Τέιτ για ενήλικες, καθώς και σε πολλά άλλα μουσεία.

Antalya Büyükşehir Belediyesi Anaokulu, ANTALYA - TÜRKİYE / Gonca GÖKÇE

Language: English - Turkish

English:

One day I started to fill sick and I decided to go back home to Japan. I found an art studio near a hospital to keep on painting while doctors helped me to get better. I'm 94 years old and I still live in Japan, painting dots everyday.
Your local language:
Bir gün hastalanmaya başladım ve Japonya'ya, evime dönmeye karar verdim. Doktorlar iyileşmeme yardım ederken resim yapmaya devam etmek için hastanenin yakınında bir sanat stüdyosu buldum. 94 yaşındayım ve hâlâ Japonya'da yaşıyorum, her gün noktalar çiziyorum.

Eleni Nikoloudaki & Stella Manta

English:

Nowadays Yayoi Kusama is one of the most popular contemporary artists over the world. She has inspired our E-twinning project and we hope kids have learned from her creativity but also from her perseverance.
Your local language:
"Dots are symbols of the world, the cosmos. The Earth is a dot, the moon, sun, the stars are all made up of dots. You and me, we are dots."

- Yayoi Kusama-

Kaunas kindergarten "Rasytė"

English:
I am very happy that children also know about me. I heard that children from Lithuania had never heard of me. Now they already know that I am the Queen of Dots and they like my works very much. , both young and old. I am very happy that even projects about my work are being created. I wish that your days are dotted and colorful.
