Last week, the ULC building at Utahloy International School Guangzhou was filled with creativity and inspiration as we celebrated the Artist Visit Utahloy 2025 event from April 14 to 18, 2025.
This immersive experience brought together local and international artists, inspiring our entire school community through engaging activities and creative expression. After many months of planning and preparation, this community event was realized with great success and praise.
Spotlight on the Artists 🧑🎨
This is the first time UISG has organized such an event, and we are very proud to have collaborated with two talented artists, Suixin Zhang and Pascal Maljette.
Suixin Zhang, a skilled Chinese artist, led workshops focused on the Lingnan School of
Painting,which integrates Western techniques with traditional Chinese methods. Her ability to connect with students and share her artistic journey made a significant impact on all who participated.
Pascal Maljette, a French painter inspired by his life in China, demonstrated his mixed media techniques, encouraging students to experiment with various materials. His dynamic approach to art, along with his engaging personality, resonated with students of all ages.
Day-by-Day Highlights 🎨
The event kicked off on Day 1 with inspiring artist talks from Suixin Zhang and Pascal Maljette.Students from multiple grade levels eagerly participated, asking insightful questions and engaging in discussions about the artists’ personal journeys and artistic philosophies.
The diverse perspectives shared by the artists opened students’ minds to a well-rounded view of the possibilities within the art world.
Day 2 featured artist demonstrations, where students observed Pascal creating paintings in realtime, while Suixin explained the history and demonstrated the techniques of Lingnan School.
In addition to the selected participants, classes from various year groups, from kindergarten to secondary, took turns attending the demonstrations, fostering curiosity andexcitement about the creative process.
From Days 2 to 4, students participated in hands-on workshops, receiving individual feedback from the artists on their work.
This personalized attention was invaluable, as students were eager to improve their skills and embrace new techniques. The atmosphere was filled with creativity and collaboration, allowing students to explore their artistic voices.
On Day 5, the week concluded with a vibrant exhibition showcasing the artwork created throughout the event. The exhibition was well attended, with parents, teachers, and students celebrating the achievements of their peers and the artists.
Throughout the week, students created wonderful artwork that was showcased during the final exhibition. The visual journey included works in progress, personal pieces brought from home, and collaborative projects inspired by the artists’ teachings. The exhibition highlighted the creativity and talent of our students while celebrating the fusion of artistic styles.
Student Testimonials:

Impact on School Culture and Looking Ahead
The Artist Visit Utahloy event has had a profound impact on the school culture, igniting apassion for art among students and community members alike. The connections made between students and artists have fostered a sense of community and collaboration, encouraging students to further explore their interests in the arts. The event has opened doors for future artistic endeavors. The positive feedback from parents and staff indicates a desire to continue this tradition, building on the success of this year’s event.

过去一周，广州誉德莱外籍人员子女女学校ULC艺术大楼化身为创意磁场。2025年4月14日至18日，“艺术家驻校计划”带来沉浸式艺术盛宴，中外艺术家与全校师生在思维碰撞中激荡出无数灵感火花。这场筹备数月的社区盛事，最终以满堂喝彩圆满落幕。
艺术大师双星闪耀 🧑🎨
本次首创性活动特邀两位重量级艺术家——岭南画派传承人张穗馨与法籍先锋创作者Pascal Maljette联袂登场。
水墨名家张穗馨通过工作坊再现岭南画派”折衷中西”的独特技法。她以娓娓道来的艺术人生故事，让学子们深切感受到传统艺术的当代生命力。
来自法国的Pascal Maljette则带来综合材料创作示范。这位深受东方文化熏陶的艺术家，以极具感染力的教学方式，带领各年龄段学生突破媒介边界，体验多元表达。
每日高光时刻 🎨
DAY1 思想盛宴：两位艺术家开启深度对谈，不同年级学子踊跃提问。从个人艺术历程到创作哲学，跨文化视角的碰撞为年轻心灵打开艺术世界的多维图景。
DAY2 大师课堂：Pascal现场挥毫演绎即兴创作，张穗馨则通过岭南水墨技法示范串联千年艺术脉络。幼儿园至中学各年级学子分批观摩，创作奥秘在专注的眼神中层层揭晓。

整周诞生的艺术佳作在收官展中璀璨亮相。展览以三重维度编织视觉叙事：记录创作过程的未完成稿、学子们从家中带来的私人习作，以及受艺术家技法启发诞生的集体创作。这场美学盛宴既彰显了学生的创造力与天赋，更通过东西方艺术风格的有机融合，完成了一场跨越文化疆域的美学对话。
学子心声：
艺术启蒙的双向对话

七年级的Xoraya陶醉于跨文化碰撞：”学习不同背景艺术家的风格视角实在太有趣了”；八年级的Shanay感慨：”通过这个活动，我领悟到艺术视角的多样性多么珍贵”。这些心声印证了艺术教育带来的认知跃迁。
艺脉相承：
构建校园美育新生态
艺术家驻校计划犹如一簇火种，彻底点燃了校园艺术氛围。学生与艺术家的深度联结，不仅培育了社区协作精神，更激活了持续探索的艺术热情。这场启蒙之旅，为未来更多艺术实践打开了无限可能。
家长与教职员工的积极反馈中，延续此项传统的呼声高涨。当我们还在回味2025年的精彩时，关于2026年的升级方案已收到百余条建议。这份热情推动着我们规划更广阔的艺术版图——让学子足不出校便能对话全球艺术精英。
谨向成就此次盛会的所有力量致敬：感谢策划团队的匠心运筹，感恩艺术家的倾囊相授，特别致敬家长志愿者与UPTA成员的全情投入。让我们携手期待，未来的艺术教育之路将绽放更多异彩！
