Our team arrived in Beijing on the night of June 13th and started 4-day preparations and events.
通过与北京市101国际学校Fallen Star志愿者小组Grant（吴小寒）组长的联系，帮助集合了与7名自闭症儿童。我们把活动地点定在了北京师范大学校园内。
Through connections with Grant, leader of Fallen Star volunteers for Beijing 101 Middle School, seven Autistic children had been gathered together. We set events place on campus of Beijing Normal University.
很幸运有北京站Fallen Star志愿者小组的帮助。在室内活动环节里，每名志愿者和一位孩子组成一个小队，由志愿者们引导孩子来完成艺术作品。首先我们介绍了第一个“泥塑餐具”活动的指导说明：用泥塑做餐具，并用新鲜花草印上图案。
（准备材料：黏土, 新鲜花束）
We were lucky to get support from Fallen Star volunteers in Beijing. In indoor events, a volunteer and a kid made a team, and the kid completed artworks with the help of volunteers. First, we introduced how to make clay dinnerware: use clay sculptures to make dinnerware and print on them with fresh flowers.
(necessary materials: clay and fresh flowers)

我们把两大捆新鲜花束分成七份发给了孩子们，并给每人发了一袋黏土。首先孩子们捏出餐具的形状，然后把花束印在泥塑上，形成了漂亮的图案。孩子们发挥了自己丰富的想象力，在志愿者的帮助下做出了很多漂亮的作品。还有小朋友发挥想象力做了自己喜欢的小泥塑。也有小朋友发挥创意把小花束直接插到泥塑上，也做成了很漂亮的艺术品。
We divided two bundles of fresh flowers into seven to children, and gave each of them a bag of clay. Firstly, children kneaded the shape of dinnerware, then put flowers on the clay sculptures and got the beautiful print. Children exerted their imagination and made cute clay sculptures. Even some of them were creative to arrange flowers in clay sculptures and got beautiful artworks.

其次我们做了泡沫纸版画。这是个很有趣的艺术形式，小朋友们要以多种艺术形式来完成作品。
（准备材料：泡沫纸，铅笔，水彩纸，丙烯颜料）
小朋友们先用铅笔在泡沫纸上画出一个轮廓，然后用丙烯颜料涂满泡沫纸，再把泡沫纸涂满颜料的那面翻过来印在水彩纸上，就会呈现出原先小朋友画在泡沫纸上的图案。通过这种艺术形式，很多小朋友展现了自己独特的素描及色彩搭配艺术天赋。
Secondly, we drew on foam board. It is a fascinating art form, and children should finish it with numerous art forms.
(necessary materials: foam board, pencils, watercolor paper and acrylic paint)
Children used pencil to draft things on foam board, then painted with acrylic paint, and printed the side of acrylic paint on watercolor paper，and we can see their print. Through this art form, many children displayed their artistic talents in unique sketch and color matching.
其中有一位叫康睿的小朋友令我们印象深刻，其他小朋友都已经把自己的画作印在了水彩纸上，康睿还在认真地素描创作。走近一看，呈现在泡沫纸上的是一个很有意境的小亭子。有风景做背景，还有小亭子的廊桥，以及很多细节，都被康睿一笔一画的呈现在泡沫纸上。到了要上色的时候，康睿自己用黄色和蓝色调出了背景需要的绿色，大面积涂画在泡沫纸上，在康睿小朋友的大作即将完成之际，这位小艺术家也许是专注太久过于劳累，跑出去走了一圈又回来继续画。当康睿把泡沫纸涂满之后，画笔一丢，就跑了出去。为了防止颜料干在泡沫纸上，我们帮康睿把画作印在了水彩纸上。
One of them is a boy called Kang Rui, who made us impressive. Others had already print their drawing on watercolor paper, while he was deeply immersed in sketch drawing. When we came closer, we surprisingly found that he drew an idyllic pavilion. He drew scenery as background and lounge bridge of pavilion, all these details came alive on the foam board. Kang Rui made the background color green with combination of yellow and blue, painted large area on it. When he was poised to complete the drawing, he took a rest and then came back to continue because he was so tired to concentrate on it for long time. He daubed all over the foam board, then threw away paintbrush and ran out. We printed his work on watercolor paper in case acrylic paint became dry on the foam board.

最后我们以吹泡泡活动收尾。我们把彩色墨水混入泡泡水，两三人一组，一个小朋友吹泡泡，小组里另外的人负责接掉下来的泡泡。泡泡与水彩纸碰撞时会呈现出特别漂亮的图案。
The last event was blowing bubbles. We mixed colorful ink in bubble water. Two or three children made a team, a child blew bubbles, the rest of them caught fallen bubbles. The beautiful print would be produced when bubble and watercolor paper met.

经志愿者们的准备，小朋友们用了许多不同颜色的泡泡水，泡泡轻轻徐徐从两唇间飞出，带出一个个被阳光打得五彩发亮的泡泡，另一位跑动着的孩子张开手中的水彩纸去接下在空中的泡泡。当水彩纸被泡泡爆开的水痕覆盖时，整个水彩纸便可以说是一副完成的画作了。
Children mixed different colors to get bubble water, blew gently and softly from their lips with shiny bubbles, others stretched watercolor paper to catch fallen bubbles while running. When watercolor paper was covered all burst bubbles, paper can be considered as a finished painting.

对于普通的孩子来说，世界是干净的、是有微风、有阳光、是美好的，在这些孩子的世界当中，与他们成长如影随形的，
For ordinary children, the world is pure, sunny and wonderful with light breeze accompanied by children’s growth.
对于普通的孩子来说，世界是善意的，他们能很好的融入到社会这个大集体。但是我们今天所接触到的小朋友们成长历程和绝大多数孩子不同，他们无时无刻不在面对着社会的流言和异样的眼光。公交车上一个飘忽揣测的眼神，餐厅里一句看似不经意的闲话都是一道道伤痕印在他们幼小的心灵中；好似在空中飘浮的彩色泡泡，不经意碰到就会在衣物上留下污渍。通过这个活动，我们希望能给这些孩子勇气去主动迎接并戳破这些会弄脏他们衣服的彩色泡泡，甚至通过把这些泡泡印在画纸上变成美丽画作的方式告诉孩子们，如果利用得当，这些流言蜚语，都可以变成自己力量的一部分让他们变得更强大！祝福这些可爱的孩子，希望社会多给予他们一些善意；也希望他们在人生路上走得更顺畅。
For ordinary children, the world is so kind that they can fit in society. However, children we met today grew up harder than most of ordinary children. They were confronted with shameful gossips and strange eyes of society all the time. Guessing eyes on bus and unintended words in canteens can be scars in their hearts. They were like floating bubbles that tainted clothes when touching inadvertently. Through these events, we hope to provide them with courage to face on and break these colorful bubbles and made beautiful works by printing bubbles on paper. The message is shown to them: if well used, rumors and gossips can become part of you that make you stronger！Good wishes to these lovely children and may society give them more good will and they walk smoothly on life’s roads.
