The exhibition was very interactive and it was enjoyed by all the visitors.
Everybody was so happy to see paintings from different countires and how
different media was used, like paper, straw, water colour, crayons etc.
Through the painting, visitors learnt about

This art teacher from Woochu Lower Secondary School was very
interested to visit the exhibition and she also taught how to weave basket
using recycled milk cartons.

Club members learnt the skills of weaving basket from the visitor
teacher of another school. During the exhibition it was an opportunity for my
club members to learn something new.

Teachers from different schools met and
discussed about the importance of hold exhibitions in the school. Students
enjoy meeting friends from other schools; they learnt the skills of
observation and creativity.

It was a wonderful event at the school, and
it was the first time that the school had hosted such an exhibition. All the
teachers, students, parents and the visitors were very impressed, they
suggested that similar exhibition should be held at school.
I was worried about the small space but it
served the purpose well and the problems I had was about the poor lighting
system. I hope to hold exhibitions in future, I have learnt many lessons.
Once
again I would like to express my gratitude to Royal Education Council, and
Hamada
Children’s Museum of Art , Japan.
