background

the beginning
In 1970 Marja de Jong started giving
painting-lessons to young children.
It began with the request of a mother who specially wanted Marja de Jong to
give her child lessons in drawing and painting. Three to eighteen-year-old
children now work weekly under her inspiring guidance. The AllaprimA
foundation has organized special exhibitions with the results of these
drawing-lessons and is publishing a book with children's drawings and paintings.

work expressively
The general aim of expressive creation is to teach children to observe and
experience in a conscious way.
Children learn to convert this observing and experiencing into two- and
three-dimensional images. They become aware of what they see, hear, feel and
experience. They learn to be open to coincidences, to changes and several
solutions to a problem. This fundamental attitude can be developed within
the field of expressive creation.

art library
During the years the AllaprimA Foundation has collected an interesting art
and art education library. This collection is open for artists, art teachers and
all those who are interested in studying in these fields.
The library is located in the old Railway Station of Hiirola (Finland)
