The year5-6 students began exploring and expressing traditional Korean art through collage techniques using hanji (traditional Korean paper). They learned about five symbolic plants often found in Korean art — plum blossom (maehwa), orchid (nan), chrysanthemum (gukhwa), bamboo (juk), and lotus (yeonkkot) — and began creating artworks inspired by these elements.
The Year 5–6 students worked in groups to design beautiful plum blossom pieces. They stayed focused and thoughtfully created unique flower patterns in their own styles. To form the tree trunks, they carefully tore pieces of hanji, which added a natural and textured look to their work.
I’m so excited to see how their pieces come together next week when the artworks are completed!
