As part of our Blank Canvas series, we invited students from Beijing Enlighten School (BES) to share their artwork and inspirations.
“I looked up many pictures online and chose a painting of space to paint myself. It took four days to complete.” -April Hao (KG)
“This is a painting on the cover of my exercise book. It represents infinite possibilities.” -Char Lie (Grade 6)
“We worked as a group to create this piece. We painted the sections before decorating each part in a unique way.” -Bradley Johnson, Maverick Johnson, Richard Wang (KG and Grade 1)
“I originally wanted to draw a night sky but I wasn’t happy with the result so I stuck some decorations on top of it.” -Snow Yang (Grade 4)
“I painted mountains and trees, and the earth, which are made up of many colors.” -Bradley Johnson (Grade 1)
“I drew this painting because I wanted my schoolmates to better understand me and I like art, so I drew myself with watercolor. The background is blue because I like swimming and I drew a cat because I have a cute cat.” -Cindy Gao (Grade 4)
“This is my handcrafted gift for my teachers.” -Hanya Suo (Grade 4)
