    Jolanda Schouten is a Dutch artist living in Utrecht and she also works as a consultant for Centrum Kunstzinnige Vorming in Almere.  Her participation in the artist-in-residence program is related to her own artistic work and the art education program from the art centre. In the same time she shares her own knowledge and network with the art centre and an intensive cooperation has started.

    In december 2002 knipte ik mijn aquareltekeningen in stukken. Mijn werk ging de ruimte in. Eerst knipte ik enorm uitvergrote rode papavers, zwarte verfbuien en rode kussentjes met witte stippen. Zij werden met spelden aan de muur geprikt. Toen kwamen er insecten, planten, vogels en mensen. Muur en spelden volstaan dan niet meer. De beelden veroveren de ruimte en komen als mobiles in de lucht te hangen. In deze nieuwe omgeving treden drie hoofdrolspelers binnen. Een man en twee jonge kinderen. In allerlei gedaanten keren zij steeds weer. Mijn gezinsleden zijn als personages mijn werk binnengekomen. Hangend aan een zijden draadje deinen ze nu mee op elke beweging in de lucht. En de toeschouwer is degene die de lucht in beweging kan zetten. 

    In December 2002 the artist Jolanda Schouten cut her watercolors to pieces. She cut through the surface of the drawings and in doing so she found a third dimension.
    First she cut out enormous red poppies, black paint showers and white-dotted red cushions. They were pinned to the walls. Insects, plants, birds and people followed. Once the walls were covered, the images invaded the space in the form of mobiles.
    At that point three main actors were introduced: a man and two young children. they reappeared continuously as different characters. The artist has clearly introduced her own family into her art. Hanging on silk thread, they sway with every breath of air. It is the visitor who can start the movement.


     

    In september verbleef ik enkele weken als artist in residence in kunstcentrum Saksala, in het wonderschone Finland. O.l.v. Marja de Jong, autoriteit op het gebied van kunsteducatie voor jonge kinderen, trainde ik mijn vaardigheden op dit gebied, maakte een project bij mijn eigen werk samen met leerlingen van Haukivuori secondary school, en maakte een nieuwe installatie. 

    During September I stay for some weeks as an artist in artist-in-residence in art centre Saksala ArtRadius, in beautiful Finland. Conduted by Marja de Jong, an authority in the field of art education for young children I practiced my skill in this field, and have made a project next to my own artistic work together with the students from the Haukivuori secondary school and have made a new installation.. 

    Art centre Saksala ArtRadius houses also an international art education centre and organizes workshops for teachers, school teams, by qualified artists and art teachers.
    As a part of her stay Jolanda works with the 7th class of Ylä-Aste in Haukivuori to create with the youngsters their own object in 'who is sitting next to me'. The art teacher Anna Toljamo assists her and together they realized a good artistic level with them. The results are exhibited in the AllaprimA MuseuM of art centre Saksala ArtRadius.
