我叫“干洛梵”，来自“瓷都”景德镇。

我的名字离不开一个人物，那就是传说中掌管洛水的洛神。相传她举止优雅而美艳绝伦，拥有过人的智慧，是每一位诗人心念的白月光。如同洛神嬉遨于林中，儿时的我也喜欢呆在自家后山的小森林里，每天在花丛、林间、鸟鸣、清泉这些自然精灵的陪伴下，一个平凡孩子渐渐懂得名字里的那些美好，开始踮起脚尖，眺望那个“翩若惊鸿，婉若游龙”的明媚未来。

My name is Luofan Gan, from the hometown of porcelain Jingduzhen City.

My name came from the god of water Luo, who represented beauty, wisdom and elegance. Like Luo, I spent a lot of my childhood in the jungle behind our house. Flowers, trees, birds and creek, all the nice things a small child could ever dream of.

2016年，我和父母一起来北京过暑假，意外地发现家里楼下的一个学校里，总有孩子们在操场上尽兴的奔跑、游戏……他们不仅每天都很快乐，甚至放学都有一种不舍，感觉的到他们是真的喜欢这个学校。每天面对无尽暑假作业的我，看着他们不仅由衷地羡慕，也不禁充满好奇：在这样的一个自由、欢乐的环境下上学，是不是每天都很幸福？

In 2016, my parents and I came to Beijing for the summer vacation, and we surprisingly saw this school where students were having great fun on the playground and enjoying their school time. I couldn’t help wondering how happy one can be being in a school like that.

庆幸的是，我有一对非常尊重孩子并且可以洞悉孩子想法的父母。还没等我开口，他们就问我想不想参加青苗的夏令营，就这样，我第一次接触了“青苗”。在青苗的这段时间，我发现在有趣的课程中，学生不仅能学到很多知识，更重要的是，因为有更多讨论、思考、实际操作的机会和时间，那些从前看看起来枯燥生硬的知识，竟然变得生动和简单。

I’m a lucky child that my parents always respected my thoughts. Before I asked, they were already getting my opinion on a summer camp with BIBS, which later became my first experience with it. During that summer camp, learning had been interesting and inspiring with all the opportunities to discuss, think and practice.

那个暑假之后，因为实在太喜欢这个学校，尊重我的爸爸妈妈就为我办了转学手续。从四年级开始，我正式开启了在青苗的幸福学习生活。

在这里，我不仅变得开朗和自信，还收获了许多的好朋友。最重要的是，青苗给了我更多的时间去做真正喜欢的事情，让我有机会成为更想成为的那个自己。

Naturally, I started my happy BIBS time from G4.

At BIBS I’ve gain more confidence and made more friends. The school encourages me to do what I enjoy and help me to become whom I truly want to be.

这组青花瓷是我国庆假期的时候创作的，因为是在瓷都的山水溪涧中的所见所闻，所以我给它们起名为“瓷涧见闻”。王维的诗歌《鸟鸣涧》：“月出惊山鸟，时鸣春涧中。”也带给我很多灵感，因此这组瓷器中出现了：花鸟，月明，山涧等元素。另外，为了增加亮点和情趣，我还特意在里面添加了渔人等元素，使整组画作显得更加灵活。

These blue and white porcelain works were completed during the National Day holidays. I called them ‘From the Creek’ as the idea came from what I saw in the jungle in Jingduzhen. There flowers, birds, the moon and creeks, as well as a fisherman as you would usually see from the Chinese poems.

爸爸妈妈初见到我的这组作品，还是很惊讶的，因为从小到大，他们没有给我进行过任何基础美术训练，在他们看来，自然地产生对艺术的认识，拥有自由的创作灵感非常重要。平时，对于我所喜欢的事情，只要不涉及原则性的错误，他们从不加以干涉和阻拦，总是愿意给我积极的鼓励和足够的独立空间，让我自己思考和规划。在这点上，我觉得父母的教育理念与青苗是非常一致的。

My parents were surprised to see my works as they have never taught me anything about drawing. They believed in a natural understanding on art and free source of inspirations. They have been very supportive and encouraging on my interest, and always allowed me to make plans myself. To this end, my parents and BIBS are highly sync.

虽然对于未来做了不少想象，但具体还没有什么规划和打算，毕竟我现在才8年级，还有很多时间可以去发现和准备。但是我觉得自己未来的专业应该是和艺术相关吧，因为我喜欢这一切。至于剩下的，等时间慢慢揭晓答案吧……

I have a lot of ideas for my future but not too much specific plan yet. I’m only a G8 student and I’ve got plenty of time to explore and experience. For now I’m hoping my future has something to do with art, but let’s wait and see…
