The epidemic restricts the pace of people's activities, but not the hearts of the people.
The Hong Kong Visual Arts Education Festival was held at the beginning of this month. Among them, nearly 700 works of primary and secondary school students were exhibited in the Hong Kong City Hall Exhibition Hall. "Pandemic medical care" and "Black people's fate is also fate" and other topics of public concern create thought-provoking works. The organizer hopes to let the public enter the venue in person and experience the worldview presented by children through art.
The organizer collected more than 1,000 hand-painted postcards from primary and secondary school students from local and foreign countries and then mailed the envelopes, and selected 600 of them for public display.

Among them, the number of works is the largest. The "International and Local Students Mailing Art Exhibition" was collected from local and foreign students. The organizer said that due to the epidemic restrictions, citizens cannot travel abroad. So I thought that foreign students could paint their works on postcards, and then send them to Hong Kong by mail. The result was very popular after it was launched and received from different countries, including Australia, Iceland, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, and China. The primary school students have a total of more than 1,000 works, and then 600 of them are selected for public exhibition, allowing the public to experience how children from different countries can imagine a colorful art world.
In addition, the Education Festival also held the "Glennell Award for Visual Arts 2010/2021 Exhibition", judging the award-winning works of local students in the junior and senior high school categories in the exhibition hall.
Among them, a 19-year-old female student from Sri Lanka who was born and raised in Hong Kong created the award-winning mixed painting "black lives matter" (black lives matter). In the painting, a woman's eyes seem to be covered, and the surrounding area of the figure is covered. Surrounded by a pile of subtle words, Ao Jiahui said that she was mainly enlightened by female students of the same level in Equatorial Guinea in Africa. She enthusiastically responded to the "Black Fate is Fate" movement, so she took this as the theme and used the symbol of a blindfolded woman to appeal to the public. Racial discrimination, speak out for African Americans.
Ethnic minority students were born and raised in Hong Kong, and their creations originated from people around them and public issues
Although she was born in Hong Kong, she also faced racial discrimination, but fortunately, the situation in Hong Kong was not serious. Unlike black people who were shot and killed at will in the United States, she believed more of the language barrier between her and her local classmates, which made both sides disagree. Dare to in-depth contact. Take her as an example. She is currently studying in the first year of the Associate Degree in Architecture at City University. She is the only non-Chinese student in the class. Some students are afraid to communicate in English and try to avoid being in the same group with her. Others think Improve her English proficiency and take the initiative to contact her. She is also willing to learn Chinese to facilitate mutual communication.
She also vindicated the local patriarchal argument, emphasizing that girls may encounter more dangers in the eyes of their parents, so her brothers can return later than her, but she does not agree that men are superior to women, but parents The daughter is more protective and sensitive.

Another award-winning junior high school student, Qin Zhihao, won the prize for his paintings "Martyrs 2020" and "Plastic Doomsday". Related works will be exhibited in the Hong Kong City Hall.
He said that he was inspired by seeing on TV that patients infected with new coronary pneumonia were crowding wards and corridors in hospitals, whether foreign or inland, but the medical staff in white protective clothing were still on duty to save the lives of patients with no regrets, which made him greatly affected. Moved, I thought of using the white-robed medical uniform as the main body of the painting, the head blindfold and the helmet and armor of the medieval warrior. It praised the medical staff for being brave like a warrior. As for "Plastic Last Day", it means the misery of human beings after eating a lot of microplastics. In addition, the figure in the painting is no longer human-shaped, and there is a red plastic bottle in his body.
Another new exhibition area this year, "Digital Interactive Learning Area: Creative Motion Gallery", is the first time that virtual technology elements have been added to the Education Festival. Children use drawing paper in the exhibition area to let Qing complete their works. Hard objects on A4 paper, whether they are astronauts, flying saucers, aliens, etc., as long as you touch the screen, they will turn into an anime cartoon that "knows how to walk, knows, and walks," that is vivid and blends with the real world.
