A gathering of Wuhan artists

After I snapped some shots of the previous kids with their drawings, suddenly all the kids wanted to show us their artwork. I was only too happy to oblige.

D2 and the art teacher behind her and Melissa as well, being surrounded by the kids and their artwork.

Principal Zheng, the art teacher and Jessica were quite amused by the spontaniety of the children's actions.

The kids were obviously very proud and happy that we appreciated the talent that was on display.
Then a few of the kids handed their artwork to us. We were completely taken by surprise. Their teacher said they would like to give them to us...likely in memory of our visit and the open-hearted appreciation we've shown. Soon, all the other kids also gave us their art pieces...which will be displayed at GSPS.

The art teacher, seen here beaming with pride, should be commended for the way that art has been taught to her kids.
The arrangement in the art room certainly can be described as encouraging and allowing the kids to try out various mediums, "mess around" in free and creative expressions....and the end result is what you have seen here....


simply unbelievable drawings from ones so young.

Some of the very Best Wuhan Art!

This piece of art work has everything. There is very good use of colours and the 2 cartoon animals are portrayed holding hands under an arch....which even has semblance of shadow play to the left of the arch. The serrated background in blue adds a nice effect and dimensional clarity to the overall beauty and simplicity of the drawing. It was because I
admired this drawing so much and this cute young creator who drew it that I asked him to pose for a picture with D2.
The next photo shows wonderful creativity. The face is depicted with fruits and leaves!
Most kids will not have known about the importance of making the eyes come out alive with 2 white dots.
This kid knew!




Here is one of the very best drawings

I've seen....perhaps the best.
It catches the eye immediately with the beautiful and creative inter-play of tones, shades and variations of depth of colour. There is something symbolic and surreal about this picture. No...not just the black and white upraised hands that seem to reach out for this impressive bird of the sky. From the bird's mouth come a message of hope, peace and goodwill. How do I know all this you may ask ?
Oh...I forgot to tell you all, I still have the imagination of a kid in me!
