We always soar with our imagination and try to be as creative as possible. There are regular art competitions offering the winner great prizes. One such example is the peace competition, which enabled many students to paint drawings related to peace, such as peace doves on national flags. More competitions are expected to take place in the future. Art isn\u2019t a competition in itself but many people tend to become competitive while trying to make the best creation within the time limit available.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/78492595_10156982396548668_2234162118167363584_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/78492595_10156982396548668_2234162118167363584_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/78492595_10156982396548668_2234162118167363584_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/78492595_10156982396548668_2234162118167363584_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/78492595_10156982396548668_2234162118167363584_n-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Art isn\u2019t just\npaintings; in fact we had some lessons making pottery out of Maltese blue clay.\nIn these lessons our Art teacher introduced us to the interesting world of\npottery. We learned facts such as that pottery was used to make pots and other\ncooking utensils. The most interesting part of these lessons was when we went\nhands on in producing our own creations. Some of us made copies of historical\nartifacts such as the Phoenician Cippus, while others included temple period\nspirals in their creations. Among the artifacts produced by us were: kettles,\nbowls and mugs, all made out of clay! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We really enjoyed\nmaking things out of clay. It was a new experience that I never thought would\nbe so pleasant. While people like me consider art as a fun little hobby, I\nadmire those who have courage to take art as a MAIN subject. I wish to\nencourage all those who never bothered about art to explore this wonderful\nsubject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/79440123_10156982396068668_6519374551300702208_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/79440123_10156982396068668_6519374551300702208_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/79440123_10156982396068668_6519374551300702208_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/79440123_10156982396068668_6519374551300702208_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/79440123_10156982396068668_6519374551300702208_n-360x270.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>contributed&nbsp;by&nbsp;Jeremy Grech,&nbsp;House&nbsp;7P Art is a very interesting subject and it is also one of my favourites!
