The Confucius Institute at Arizona State University's painting competition came to an end (picture) The Confucius Institute at Arizona State University (ASU) held a painting competition in early August. This painting competition received more than 300 entries from primary and secondary school students in Arizona, many of whom came from public schools that currently offer Chinese classes. Chinese teachers took part in this competition as an opportunity to introduce the rich Chinese culture to the students, and asked them to express their understanding of Chinese culture, especially the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, in their paintings. Due to the active organization of teachers and the enthusiastic participation of students, the Confucius Institute at ASU received many amazing and outstanding paintings. This competition is divided into 4 groups according to the grades of students, namely grades K-2, grades 3-5, grades 6-8, and grades 9-12. The judges will select the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes from each grade, as well as the outstanding work award. Although children in grades K-2 are young, their entries are full of childlike interest and express rich imagination; grades 3-5 Students in grades 6-8 can draw pictures more delicately. They incorporate some elements representing Chinese culture, such as Tai Chi diagrams, dragons, the Great Wall, the moon, moon cakes, etc. into their works; students in grades 6-8 begin to show their painting skills, and their expressions of themes, colors, and cultural symbols are getting better. Floor; The works of students in grades 9-12 show very high painting skills. Even the interweaving of black and white lines in pen and ink paintings can express rich scenes and give people endless associations. The oil paintings are even more colorful, some depict colorful palaces, and some depict lifelike characters. Because there were so many excellent works, the judges were overwhelmed and found it difficult to choose. Finally, among the four groups of entries, they awarded 4 first prizes, 2 second prizes, 8 third prizes, and a 40-point excellent work award. These award-winning works will be exhibited at the MU Building of ASU on September 18. On that day, there will also be a Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day reception co-sponsored by the ASU Confucius Institute and the Chinese Association of Alberta for free to the local public. The outstanding works on display will definitely bring excellent visual enjoyment to the participants. Before the reception, there will be a China Forum entitled, which will be a good opportunity for the public to understand the development of Sino-US cooperation.
