The final round of the painting competition “Vietnam in My Heart – The World in My Mind” at Hanoi Adelaide School ended in a space filled with colors and emotions. On white paper frames, HASians “told” their own stories with lines, colors and unlimited imagination.
Here, the young artists demonstrated their drawing techniques, color coordination abilities and conveyed creative stories revolving around the theme of the competition. More importantly, the children were free to express their perspectives on Vietnam, the world, their school and familiar things around them; learned to listen to their emotions, turn their thoughts and dreams into concrete images; confidently shared their stories with teachers, friends and parents.
The Final Round took place in an atmosphere full of inspiration, each child brought with them their own ideas. They turned the blank canvas into colorful worlds: some paintings were dreams of flying high in the world, some were peaceful schoolyard corners or warm family moments. Whatever the story, each painting bore the mark of each HASian.
More than a contest, “Vietnam in My Heart – The World in My Mind” is a journey for each HASian to discover themselves, turning their emotions and worldview into vibrant colors and depicting many meanings. Not only are these works of art, but they are also “milestones” of maturity in the thoughts and emotions of the children – global citizens who carry in their hearts the Vietnamese identity.
We would like to invite Parents, Teachers and HASians to look back at the brilliant moments of the Final round of the Drawing Contest “Vietnam in My Heart – The World in My Mind” and be proud of the journey that the children have gone through.
