Celebrate Creativity, Courage & Collaboration: International Dot Day Events
每年九月，我们都会迎来国际圆点日。从2009年创设起至今，这个具有创意的节日已经累计吸引了来自200多个国家和地区的超过2000万人参与其中。荟同学校已经连续三年参与庆祝国际圆点日了，当然，今年也没有缺席。
Every September-ish, we celebrate International Dot Day. Since 2009, this creative festival has attracted more than 20 million people from more than 200 countries and regions. For the forth year in a row, Huitong School has participated in the celebration of International Dot Day. Of course, we did not miss it this year.
从九月底开始，创意艺术与设计部的老师们用了一整个月的时间，在幼儿园以及小学不同年级开展了一系列主题活动。目前，这些作品已经在不同的角落进行展示，装点着我们的日常生活，同时也向更多人传递着国际圆点日的精神——庆祝创意、勇气与合作精神！
Starting from the end of September, our CAD teachers spent a whole month carrying out a series of thematic activities in different grades from ELC to elementary school. Currently, these works have been displayed in school decorating our daily life, and at the same time conveying to more people the encouragement of International Dot Day – Celebrate Creativity, Courage & Collaboration!
今年，在创意十足的个人作品之外，我们还看到许多以「合作」为核心的艺术创作实 践。比如在一年级里，孩子们以班级为单位，共同绘制了一幅长卷。他们在长卷上通过 对点的创想绘制出了美丽的图案，享受着绘画的乐趣，表现出内心世界的缤纷多彩。
In addition to creative individual works, this year we can also enjoy many amazing artworks created together by the students. For example, G1 children have done their cooperative artwork – the long scrolls. They drew beautiful patterns on the long scroll through the dots, enjoy the fun of painting, and expressing the colorful world in their mind.
三年级的孩子们进行了一个有趣的动作绘画实践。不同班级的孩子们分为小组，在规定 时间里完成一个巨大圆点的绘制，并对各自的作品进行小组讨论。由于小组里的每个人 都需要轮流上前进行绘制，所以这就要求孩子们团结协作、达成一致以完成目标。尽管 合作的过程中难免出现波折，但最终我们看到孩子们都聚精会神投入其中，齐心协力用 美丽的色彩和图案装饰了这些巨大的圆点。
G3 had participated in a playful and creative action drawing experience. Children from different classes were divided into groups to set their creativity free by drawing on large dots. Since everyone in the group had to take turns to draw, this activities required the children to work together in a wonderful team spirit to accomplish their goal. Despite the ups and downs of the process, we saw the children really enjoyed working together to create the most beautiful large dot.
