I feel very honoured that I represented\nmy school in the \u2018China Cultural Centre Competition<\/em>\u2019 held by the Chinese\nEmbassy where I placed 2nd<\/sup>. Thanks to my Art Teacher Ms. Abigail for\ngiving me this opportunity. It was an amazing experience, especially getting to\nknow more about  Chinese culture and\nhistorical sites such as the Great Wall of China and its history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my work, I chose to paint a Chinese woman wearing traditional clothes, the Hanfu<\/em>. I included the dragon which is a Chinese symbol of good luck, power, strength and wealth and is often used in the Chinese New Year Parade. In my work I also included a typical Chinese house, called a Pagoda<\/em>. The A3 acrylic painting was finished with a mixture of cold and warm colours whose contrast gives the painting its unique aura.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
