Instead of opting for trips or typical entertainment activities, many children in Khanh Hoa are enjoying a truly meaningful summer by using paintbrushes to convey their dreams of the sea. At the Khanh Hoa Provincial Library, a painting contest themed "Touching the Colors of the Ocean" took place in a vibrant and enthusiastic atmosphere, attracting a large number of students from various grade levels to experience creative painting.
The contest was scientifically designed and appropriately divided by age group to allow the children to fully showcase their talents. For primary school students, the children were very excited about creative coloring activities and assembling unique marine creature models from small pen caps. Meanwhile, junior high school students were challenged with a completely new experience: hand-painting with acrylic colors directly onto fabric bags. Regardless of the competition category, they were all engrossed and highly focused on completing their works with their skillful hands and rich imaginations.
Through the language of color, each completed work is not merely a picture but a voice, a story told about the brilliant beauty of the marine species of their homeland. This useful playground does not focus heavily on academic art techniques but values the innocent and genuine emotions of children. Through this, the organizers hope to spread the message and arouse awareness of joining hands to protect the environment and minimize plastic waste to keep the ocean blue, clean, and beautiful. This is truly a gentle method of educating about the love for islands and the sea, helping to stimulate the spirit of learning and creative thinking for the future generation.
