"The day is not everywhere, and youth comes from just now." Moss flowers are as small as rice, and also learn to bloom peonies. ”
A special exhibition opens in Yuan's "Moss," a poem in which the host describes the protagonist of the exhibition— a group of children from the "stars."
April 2 is World Autism Day, and on this day every year, many caring people will tie blue ribbons and become the "blue friends" of the "Star Treasure". Since 2015, Zhejiang Saili Art Museum has held an exhibition of public welfare works "Paintings from the Stars" every year, inviting caring people from all walks of life to pay attention to autistic people.
Today, the 15th World Autism Care Day, the 8th 'Paintings from the Stars' and the Hangzhou Asian Para Games Public Welfare Works Exhibition was opened as scheduled. The more than 100 paintings displayed in the exhibition are from the "Star Treasures", which are warm, bright, imaginative and healing, expressing the love of children who are not good at using words.
The exhibition also set up a "Star Treasure Workshop", storage bags, pendants, tie-dye clothes and hats, notebooks, handmade soaps, coasters... Each piece of craftsmanship is a testament to their independent self-reliance and sunny growth.
From April 2nd to April 9th, there will be a number of charity sales at the exhibition site, more than 100 paintings and hundreds of handicrafts made by children can be subscribed, and delivered on the spot. The full amount of the delivery will be returned to these children, showing their help and support.
Exhibition site
Many artists concerned about autism came to the exhibition site, including Liu Zheng, deputy secretary of the party committee of the China Academy of Art, whose exhibition "Surprised Flies - Exhibition of Liu Zheng's Works" is on display on the 4th floor and 5th floor of Zhejiang Sairee Art Museum.
"I think these autistic kids are lonely and not lonely." Liu Zheng said, "Because with the help of these paintings, we can feel that they have a rich inner world." "He also pays tribute to these children because he sees the ultimate expression of the artwork." Their innocent hearts are the most touching, and at the same time, they have also shown amazing maturity in the structure of the picture and the performance of colors, just now Teacher Jing Shijian said that he did not want to paint, which made our professional practitioners feel very amazing. ”
In October this year, the Asian Para Games will be held in Hangzhou, and the growth force of the children is also connected with the sports spirit of the Asian Para Games athletes from "impossible" to "possible", so in this "Painting from the Stars" exhibition, the children created many works related to the themes of the Asian Games and the Asian Para Games.
At the opening ceremony, six works were selected for the guests to subscribe, each of which was a unique life perception and artistic expression of the children, which was affirmed and appreciated by the artists and teachers. Competition was fierce, and the six works were quickly "snapped up" to complete.

Among them, the young artist Huang Sun has participated in the exhibition "Paintings from the Stars" for many times. This exhibition showcases many of his new creations in the past two years, including portraits, flowers and plants and other themes. His paintings are brightly colored, just like his name "Yellow Sun", which brings people a warm feeling.
According to her mother, Ms. Wu Yanhong, once Huang Sun began to create, she was immersed in her own world, did not care about time at all, painting until two or three o'clock at night was a regular thing, and must drive her out of the room, not next to him. But for Ms. Wu, she is happy that the child can draw a lot of good works: "As long as he is happy, this is the most important thing." ”

In addition to familiar faces, there are many new friends in the exhibition.
The children of Zhejiang Rehabilitation Hospital are participating in this exhibition for the first time. Wang Xiaozhen, director of the Special Education Department, introduced that this year, a total of 15 children's 15 paintings were exhibited, all from preschool children, and the "Flowers for Mother" subscribed at the opening ceremony was created by Xiao Cheng, a 4-year-old child of Zhejiang Rehabilitation Hospital.
Wang Xiaozhen said: "This activity is very meaningful, and then there is a chance that we also want to participate more deeply, which can also include the form of handicraft workshops." ”

Chen Zixiang is a teacher in the field of special education, working at the Star Workshop Community Day Service Center for Mentally Handicapped People at The Hangzhou Daystar Children's Rehabilitation Center, providing day care for people with mental disabilities after the age of 15, and also taking them to do some rehabilitation training and leisure activities.
Chen Zixiang's Daystar Star Workshop is also the first time to participate in the exhibition, about 20 paintings are exhibited in the exhibition hall, and the "Persimmon Ruyi" and "Lotus Pond" subscribed at the opening ceremony are from Daystar.
"The creator of 'Persimmon Ruyi' is Ming Ming, 26 years old this year, there is no problem with language communication and self-care ability, but the emotional control is very bad, and the comprehension ability is only two years old." Chen Zixiang said that many children with autism understand that the world is picture-shaped, so teachers will communicate with them in the form of pictures and texts. "But Ming Ming has a good memory, and he can remember that from 1934 to the present, the venue of every Olympic Games, the piano has passed the eighth level."

At the same time, Chen Zixiang also said that really talented children are still rare. Many children's paintings are completed under the guidance and help of teachers, not as the outside world has spread, and every autistic child is an artistic genius. Therefore, they need more social understanding and care.
In his view, "Pictorial Words from the Stars" gives children a good opportunity to show that they can gain affirmation, self-confidence, and a sense of accomplishment, making them feel worthy.
In addition to painting, Daystar's children also participated in the "Star Treasure Workshop", where many complex handmade products were completed by children with autism.
