CHILDREN'S ART EXHIBITION OPENS THIS WEEK
The works of some of Hong Kong's most talented young artists will
be on display later this week when the Seventh Children's Art Exhibition is
officially launched by Lady MacLehose.
The exhibition, presented by the Urban Council at the City Museum
and Art Gallery, will consist of 265 pictures and craftwork selected from
6,500 entries from 300 local schools.
It is held every two years and is intended as a regular survey of
art education in Hong Kong.
The theme for this exhibition is "discovering nature", which places
emphasis on the exploration of natural forms and natural materials.
About 50 per cent of the exhibits are in connection with the expression
of the theme, protraying natural scenery, plant forms, or wild life.
Tomorrow (Thursday) evening, Lady MacLehose will officially open
the exhibition and present 10 prizes which have been awarded to individual
children for their outstanding work. She will also present prizes to schools
which have the best results in the exhibition.
