建立“校园投稿”这个栏目的最初想法，是为了鼓励国际学校的孩子们多写中文。几年下来，编辑部感觉大不易－ 关于中文写作的标准很多，各学校的教法也不同，中文流畅、思维清晰、独立思考的稿子太难得。
然而，孩子们的创意才是重点，这不应该被任何一种语言挡住。于是，我们扩大投稿范围，加入了艺术作品、作业海报等等。
这一期的投稿很让我们惊喜，13年级IB的艺术课作品果然不同凡响。原稿是孩子们写的英文，编辑附上简单中文翻译。穿梭在不同的语言和文化中，华丽辞藻和范文模式就显得夸张而无用。还是静下心来，欣赏一下这些孩子和他们的作品吧。

手工编织背心
这件背心的原料是旧塑料袋，我用很粗的木头棒针编织的。很不幸，在这个世界上人们用过而丢弃的塑料袋太多了，对于环境，还有人和动物的生活都造成了很大破坏。我了解到海洋里漂流的塑料品数目惊人，很多鱼和鸟会不小心吃这些塑料。人们曾经发现有一条在海边死掉的鲸鱼，而它的死因正是肚子里多达17公斤的塑料物。
我想通过我的作品呈现出：毫无节制的消费塑料对目前的社会造成的伤害。
婴儿毯
婴儿毯，一般会让人联想到对幼儿的保护和抚慰。而我采用了塑料来作这个毯子。我想用这个作品让大家意识到，在人类社会，儿童已经被塑料的过渡消费深深影响到了，他们未来的生存环境正面临着危险。

For this artwork I focused on the idea of pollutionin Beijing. The two geometric buildings are located in the city of Beijing.Originally the background for each photo was very polluted. However, with theuse of Photoshop, I edited the photos and created a different background byapplying a gradient. This resulted in avery fantasy like, bright blue background. This exaggerates the clear blue skydays we have in Beijing. Feridun Akgungor, a Turkish digital artist whocombines architectural imagery and soothing colours, originally inspired thispiece. Based on his works, I also wanted to achieve the idea of minimalism todisplay clear blue skies. In most countries this is very common but living herein Beijing a ‘blue sky day’ can be so much more surreal and noticeable.
这件作品主要关注北京的污染。这些建筑物位于北京，原图的背景看得出污染很严重。我用Photoshop编辑，把背景改成童话般亮丽的蓝色，也是对北京蓝天的一种特意渲染。这也是受到土耳其数码艺术家FeridunAkgungor的启发，其作品往往把建筑物与很柔和的色调结合。我也想学习极简主义，使画面简化，突出清澈的蓝天。蓝天在很多国家是很正常的。而居住在北京，一个晴好蓝天会非常引人注目，像梦幻一样。

Maggie Ayres was my initial inspiration to startthis piece as she explored mixed media with artworks mainly following the themeof “flowing” patterns. As I amcurrently situated in Beijing, we are all aware of how bad the AQI can get attimes; this was the second inspiration for this painting. I wanted toincorporate the idea of a pollution mask with the way Maggie Ayres expressesher artwork, using fabric and different forms of mixed media. In doing so, Ithought that a great idea would be to take an photograph of a person,surrounded by pollution, wearing the pollution mask. I primarily left the maskblank, whilst carefully building up layers of acrylic paint. The mask was thencreated in the style of Maggie Ayre’s work. I usedcotton, cloth, mod-rock and string for the texture before adding acrylic paintto express the idea of the “dirt”and all the filth in the air that the face mask catches. However, this isexaggerated to show people the intensity and seriousness of this problem. Iwanted my painting to be neat to the point where you can see every stroke, incontrast to the chaotic mess on the mask.”
这件作品受到了Maggie Ayres的启发。她经常混用多种媒介，做成一种飘动的感觉。北京的AQI有时候很糟糕，这当然也是另一个创意来源。我想把防污染的口罩与Maggie的艺术表达方式结合起来，使用布料和多种媒介。主体是一个人像，戴着口罩，被污染包围着。我在口罩部份用了棉花、布条、绳子、mod-rock，再加上好几层的丙烯颜料，呈现被口罩挡住的在空气中漂浮的脏东西，十分夸张地表达污染的程度和严重性。画面上其他部份则保持干净细腻，每一笔画都很清晰，这样，相对于脏乱的口罩部份，就形成一个鲜明对比。

Formy Project I focused on the theme of elements. I started my Project looking atbasic water movements and how water could be incorporated into differentobjects and elements and see how things react with other. After exploring ice andstill water it struck me to explore the patterns of water through splashes. Iwanted to see how flexible water was and how it reacts to differentenvironments. I planned various photo shoots where I tried to explore theelements of water in different formats including dropping ink within water andmilk. Also, living in China I wanted to incorporate the idea of pollution, theclean water represents the sky and purity of air, the ink is then dispersed around the vase and resembleshow the purity can be intoxicated by pollution and how it doesn’t just effect a single area but spreads until the vase wasfilled.
我在作品中想以元素为主题。开始创作的时候，我观察了水的流动状态，水如何与不同物体相互交融相互作用。我试过冰块和静止的水，也开始尝试水花。我想试试水的灵活度，表现水在不同环境中的变化。我把墨水滴入水和牛奶，拍摄了一些图片。生活在中国，我想在这个作品里加入“污染”－纯净的水代表蓝天和干净的空气，而墨水在瓶子中慢慢浸染，就像污染把纯净变为有害，并散布到各个角落。
