In the creation of natural infection is not only an atmosphere of joyful children, also all the adults, principal, teacher, wenxunerlai journalists, children\'s Art Director of the Arts Council and my hiep, we all can\'t help moving pen, that focus on children and serious way without distinction seems to be going back to childhood.

Ye Lei Lei people

I know Ye Lei Lei, is a discourse of energetic, gentle, affinity of elderly people, and she was United States Ford Foundation 2003 \"changes the world leadership award\" the only winner of the Chinese. 17 years ago, has been in binzhou University of Arts Department of environmental art coach for nearly 30 years, won a post of Professor Ye Lei Lei, and came to one of the poorest communities throughout the United States--North Philadelphia communities of African descent, cast aside because of humanistic ideals in the heart, began construction of \"Yi Lok village\" (THE VILLAGE OF ARTS AND HUMANITIES).

Today\'s \"Yi Lok village\" has become a community improvement and art throughout the United States model of humanistic ideals into reality, Ye Lei Lei I was received multiple honorary names and public services Awards, she also extends to the world of action, such as Africa, South America and other places.

The power of art

Model and honors never is Ye Lei bud by pursuit of mind, but get of height recognized is to world proved has art especially art by has of extraordinary forces, on like Ye Lei bud by get awards of name as \"change world\", it full can makes a a people or group people of life again get significance and value, it on life and social of psychological repair ability may has beyond has simple of art areas. Regardless of in \"Yi Lok village\" also is in Kenya, by Ye Lei bud of achievements, we even can full confidence to think: art can construction of, not only is beautiful of homes and due to us and became warm of soul, and also has due to hope and confidence and brings of new lifestyle and people and people Zhijian of harmonious relationship; art can implementation of, also not only is artist personal of idealism spirit, also has more important of beyond race and geographical of culture equal and dignity. This is a fine arts like Angel Wings a gentle force, while artists stretch is that wings, angel who can heal injuries.

Beijing Daxing line know school activities once again demonstrates the extraordinary power of art and artists. And the hope school is different, know all the students of the school are children of migrant children, from the countryside, almost every student has dropped out because of poverty and the instability of life experiences, they as parents rushing flow of life, suffering from out of the home, but unable to enter the city cultural knowledge of fracture and pain of discrimination, the children lack basic confidence is widespread psychological. And Ye Lei Lei, as a United States well-known artists to this lively and lovely art creation with special schools, and children without identity and emotional distance, seriously, and enables children to a full respect for the equality, recognition, or can create performance level, it feels as if you\'re working with Professor Ye Lei Lei. The self-confidence of children suddenly stood up, is a source of great happiness.

A child called Liu Jun in the Northeast, in the event, particularly active, cannot conceal the heart joy, climbing the highest voice the brightest, and the 11 year old boy $ 10 meals per week is picking of used bottles earned on its own. Through such activities the children changes the psychological inferiority, the experience of only self-confidence can feel various emotions, such as: beauty, passion, sharing, cooperation, and so on, and these emotions for a child\'s healthy growth and how important, the children will also be due to access to these feelings and more loving school and others.

Art social calls

Today, the Museum of art is not limited in the display or performance of the artists personal consciousness, the potential social value is constantly appearing, but generally not perfect the mechanism of heart of utility and public interest made it impossible for Chinese artists also expect the spirit of humanism, and minority owners also obstacles in the process of implementation. Therefore, we is difficult to see in a by school in see side artist personal obligations participation of, let children own creation of beautiful and cheap of walls, even in children\'s art education in the also flood with various quick success of deviated from art education principles of Grand Prix, until today, United States Ye Lei bud Professor of appears, only first times in gray of campus in the display has artist of care and art by does has of extraordinary forces, while, line know school children were on activities of warm reaction also indicates that has people on children art education social sense of demand and on art social of desire.

Author Xiao 珮 believe that Ye Lei Lei activities has prompted more people to start thinking seriously

A question: in China, whether the children\'s art education should have a more profound humanistic spirit and social responsibility, if there are more artists like Ye Lei Lei, perhaps art achieve its important social, show it irreplaceable soft power will not be a dream.
