Teachers and parents are most worried about their test scores, high jump, running, piano, chess, calligraphy, and other physical abilities when raising their children. It is easy to forget that "playing" is the most critical part of healthy physical and mental development.
The "Little Dragon Horse‧Visit Hong Kong" 18-district roving exhibition co-organized by the "Little Dragon Horse Charity Foundation" and the Hong Kong Jockey Club came to Yau Tsim Mong District. More than 50 children of different ethnicities participated in Art Jamming under the scorching sun. Ma Xingwen, chairman of the "Little Dragon Horse Charity Foundation" and Ying Jiabo, CEO of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, who conceived the event together, said that the most important thing to do is "fun"!
The "Little Dragon Horse‧Visit Hong Kong" event invites students from different sectors and who need appropriate attention to create in different areas, and paint on the little dragon horse with plastic paint on the spot. These works will be donated to the "Little Dragon Horse Charity Fund" It will take "walking around" so that people in different districts can enjoy the works of schoolchildren.
"That's right! I'm so happy to see the children's creations. They are very attentive. Some of them can make drafts and take great care to prepare. They use their own methods to perform. I shouldn't teach so much. It's their own creations. .”
Ma Xingwen, chairman of the foundation, is a well-known cross-border artist. He has cooperated with Ferrari, Bulgari and artist Aaron Kwok. In recent years, he has participated in more work to cultivate the next generation and gained another experience. I will draw until I cry, because the parents will oppress or hinder them, the colors will be more depressed and scattered, the happy children will use a lot of colors, but they will laugh happily after all the activities, this is my job Ma Xingwen said that the foundation plans to organize a small dragon horse tour around the world, and is in contact with the consul generals. He also hopes to challenge the small dragon horse to break the Guinness World Record in the middle of the year. In short, the plan is full.
Schoolchildren of different ethnicities researched and discussed how to whitewash the little dragon horse. Everyone talked and laughed and got along well and enjoyed the creation process very much.
The aesthetics of art is always subjective, so the creator's feelings and comprehension in the process and the message expressed through the work are more important. Ying Jiabo, CEO of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, has participated in the "Little Dragon Horse" art activities many times, sharing the experience of artistic creation with young people. Fun, "What impressed me the most is that just now I saw two students of different ethnicities discussing how to whitewash the little dragon horse, and then they came to the conclusion that they wanted to express their respective cultures and decided to paint their own national flower; They collaborated very well, which just shows that people from different backgrounds can have common goals, discuss peacefully, reach consensus, and then cooperate to produce beautiful works.”
It is definitely not easy for people from all over the world to have sincere exchanges, so Ying Jiabo is especially grateful to all the participating schools, and all the committee members and staff who helped organize this event for creating this platform, allowing children to come and enjoy a happy afternoon.
"Hong Kong is one of the hopeful and peaceful international cities in the world. People from different backgrounds and races have lived here in harmony, where they can truly work harmoniously, help each other and love each other. Compared with international cities around the world, Hong Kong is indeed It’s a very unique and diverse place that brings together people from different places and backgrounds.”
The Hong Kong Jockey Club Chief Executive Ying Jiabo participated in the "Little Dragon Horse" art activities many times to share the joy of art creation with young people. He also distributed the specially made Little Dragon Horse dolls to the school children during the activities.
Yau Tsim Mong is geographically the smallest area in Hong Kong. Yu Kin-keung, District Officer of Yau Tsim Mong, pointed out that there are relatively few outdoor exhibition venues or cultural and recreational facilities in this area, and the borrowing of venues is also tight. It is rare to find an open-air space outside the cultural center this time. The square allows children to enjoy the scenery of Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront and Hong Kong Island while creating little dragon horses. The atmosphere is particularly good.
"The activity is very suitable for students to participate in, so the school is very active in participating and cooperating. This time, at least 9 schools participated, and there were more than 25 children of different ethnicities. They were very involved and happy." More art projects will be held in prosperous districts, and the opinions of the Youth Community Construction Committee will be consulted. It is not necessary to let the government "talk" about everything, so that the community can truly take the lead.
After each activity, the little dragon horses created by the children will be taken by the "Little Dragon Horse Charity Foundation" to "walk around" to beautify the 18th district and let the public appreciate their works.
