ARTTU IN HELSINKI, FINLAND

We are Team Pink! A group of unordinary students from Helsinki Upper Secondary School of Visual Arts.

17.9.2010 We got Arttu from Pia Strang (our art teacher) who asked us to take care of him. We agreed to take the mission! First Arttu came to Helsinki’s biggest cinema with us and saw the movie ”Knight and day” in the big screen. At the same evening Arttu visited Porvoo with Veera and on the next day new adventures in Helsinki!

18.9. Then Pauliina, Mirkka and veera took Arttu to Vuosaari in eastern Helsinki. There we made some carrot-cheese-teabreads. We had a great time. We travelled by metro or by foot. All of us got really wet in the rain. (But Arttu is alright! hehe) Well it’s normal autumn weather in Finland of course. Warm but rainy. Next we showed Kamppi (the shopping centre and hanging out place) and the Central Railway Station to Arttu. Wii~

19.9. Our group kept growing. Earlier there were only Veera, Pamu, Mikko and Mirkka. Now there were Väinö and Karoliina too! We went to Purikura, it’s a japanese photobooth machine. Cute pictures!<3

21.9. Arttu got to study! He experienced our school’s hall! Well it was very rainy day (again) and the hall was full of umbrellas lying on the floor. You could sink in them, lol! Arttu caused confusion and received love from all techers and students. We looked around places, made art and played.

”Aren’t we too old for this?”

”No, no. It’s never too late to play!”

”Yeah… We are only 18-20…”

22.9. Arttu met Satu’s traveling partner, the bunny called Ritva Lasse (since ’84!). They got along well even they were both tired!

Where will Arttu find himself in the next episode of his exciting adventure!?

We had a very god time with Arttu. Thank you and good luck! ❤ Wishes Team Pink.

Raahen lukion maailmanmatkaajanalle Arttu vieraili Suomen pääkaupungissa, Helsingissä ensimmäistä kertaa Torkkelin -kuvataiteen erikoislukion vieraana. Opiskelijoita Kallion kaupunginosassa sijaitsevassa lukiossa on noin 580 ja oppilaitoksessa on mahdollista opiskella laajasti kuvataidetta ja multimediaa. Torkkelilaisten mukana Arttu pääsi kokemaan Helsinkiä lukiolaisten näkökulmasta.

Kiitokset kuvataideopettaja Pialle  ja Team Pinkille Artun hyvästä hoidosta ja mukavasta matkakertomuksesta.
