Visual artist and a teacher, from Buenos Aires Argentina. I
teach printmaking to adults and children. I enjoy so much
to share my knowledge with them, because they make my
teaching different each time. As a visual artist, I try to
understand some things about inheritance and education too. I
am writing my thesis about how education influenced us from
1950 to nowadays here in Argentina, with drawings, prints and
collages. I am very excited about this and I suppose I will
finish it very soon.
I try now to enter in the illustration world, because
drawing is my first love (printmaking is my degree, but
without a pencil, I could not do anything). I also like to
write and I will make a children´s book very soon, with my own
words and images.

KidLink is a great project, and is a hope between the media
and web wars. It is like pure air. I enjoyed to join here
because I feel useful and I like to collaborate with anyone,
so... well, here I am to help you, to share my thoughts and
all my love. I am a positive person, and I think this is a
good place for putting my good actions. I love working with children, because they always see the things easier than
adults and are still creative enough to discover the beautiful
side of the life in any moment or situation. They amaze us and
surprise us every day.
I like languages. Nowadays I am learning yiddish because my
grandparents couldn´t teach me themselves... It is difficult,
I know, but, as a challenge, is exciting too, don´t you think?

Singapore
Born and raised in
Singapore,
Lavinia Tan
is well-versed in the language of
Singlish
(Singapore's own brand of English), experienced to know that
under-arm deodorant is a must in this humid tropical island, and
that the world is her
oyster if she'd stop trying to eat it with a
squeeze of lemon.
She was raised single-handedly by her mother and doting
grandmother, with an older sister who to date is her best audience
of one. She is a mother to 3 beautiful cats that she cannot stop
hugging. The furry ones on the other hand are a little lease
enthusiastic about this.
She is madly in love with photography, design and advertising and
works on a freelance basis as a portraiture photographer and has
taught photography at a local university, SMU. She has recently
contributed work to the online exhibition “Imagining Ourselves”
organized by the International Museum of Woman. When she is not
dabbling in any of these three areas with sincere hopes to improve
her craft, she will be traveling the world as a travel show host
bringing new sights and experiences to TV audiences around the
world.
Currently she deeply entrenched in the world of advertising and at
the recent local advertising awards show, the Creative Circle
Awards 2006, she and her team walked away with 2 Gold, 5 Silver
and 2 Bronze medals for their work.
“I have always loved working with kids because they
provide me with a fresh perspective on the world. I have no idea
how it happens but when I interact with kids, I feel completely
re-energized and inspired. They make me feel like I can do just
anything. I look forward to seeing the works of these young
talents around the world Whoever said that kids should be only
seen and not heard was absolutely wrong.”

I have done Advanced
diploma in computers from Bombay. Being a housewife, I have time
to spend on internet and learn a great from it. I want that
children should have an education which makes them reponsible
citizens as well as independent in life to face the various
challenges which come. Kid Art is a wonderful place where the
children will learn a lot. I find KidArt as an
excellent tool for overall development of children.

Rune Solberg says
about himself: "I am designer.
I regretfully do not have any technical skills but have a
good understanding so I can be a goodpartner in discussing
the technical solutions that may come up. I have good knowledge
about usability of web pages and electronic media.That is
the main things I think I can contribute with, but give me
a task and I probably will find a solution to it. Also if
anyone needs a nice invitation to seminars or anything I can
help with the layout"

I have been involved with Kidlink since May
2002 and I am manager for KidArt-Portugese. I love art in all
kinds of expressions. I used to dance and teach Jazz and Tap
in a Modern Dance School. It was a great time of my life where
I was introduced to a very special person, my good friend
Marisa Lucena. We work together for a long time there and now,
once again, we are sharing great experiences in Kidlink. I
have been learning a lot with all of you. I’ve worked for 20
years for a Brazilian TV Station as a librarian and for sure
gave me a great cultural view. I love the kids and the way
they discover and challenge the computer. |

I'm Domenico, an italian
teacher. I have been teaching in a middle school since 1976.
I'm very keen on mountaineering, too. If you wish, you can see
my website about it at this link
www.lemontagnedidome.com At my age (56 years old) I'm
still very glad to do my job and I shouldn't change it at
all.Unfortunately we live in a world with a lot of pollution
and, besides, with many wars, with no freedom, with no justice:
these things are not good for the rising generation. I can't
be lazy and must face pollution. I believe in PEACE, in
FREEDOM, in JUSTICE and in TOLERANCE, so I try to get my
pupils and me to practise them with our friends and strangers.

I am a 12 years (2006)
old girl from Bucharest, Romania. I love
arts and mathematics. I try hard to learn different foreign
languages like English and Spanish. I like to play GO and, I
hope, I will be soon a professional player. My sensei was the
first professional GO player in Europe. In addition, I like
dancing, acting and reading. I am journalist at the national
broadcasting radio in Romania. I participated with my drawings
about Olly, his family and his friends in the “Kid Team”
project. I think KidArt is a good idea because, in my case, it
developed my drawing on computer and in tempera.
