Cherish The Value of Life. Create Art That Helps The Species At Risk.
~ Words from Principal Helena

Thank you everyone for coming to the BWP Art Show 2016-17 to appreciate our students’ paintings! I want to greet all of you Happy New Year and Happy Year of the Rooster!

The Annual Creative Art Show has come to the 12th year! This year, our theme is "Cherish the Value of Life". A total of 160 paintings were exhibited at the upper level Gallery of Toronto Chinese Cultural Centre on Jan 21-23, 2017. I am happy to see students get so interested by this topic. Students got to know many different kinds of affected animal species in the researching process and created amazing work about the animals. They learnt about painting different techniques in details such as on fur, skin textures and patterns. It is amazing that we had not only spreaded the good message to protect the endangered animals but actually physically help saving them from risk and giving them hope by real donations! Through the fund-raising activities since December till the Art Show Day by selling students’ single cards, collectible card series, souvenirs and fluffy animals from WWF Canada, we have successfully raised $1300!

For the past years, the Year-end Art Event motivates all our students by providing everyone a platform to showcase their best work to the public. The Annual Award encourages the students with recognitions for their outstanding creative ideas and techniques. It is inspiring to see more and more increase in the number of participants and obvious improvement in the art quality. The best part of the show is to let students learn from each other, so as to improve for the future! Creating a better piece than last year and being exhibited is already a big satisfaction and honour. Remember, all of you have helped in spreading a good message through your art!

In this exhibition, we have 160 paintings displayed. The awarded winners are selected with many consideration factors such as age, independence and effort in class…etc. Our ratio of judging requirement is simply 50% technique to complete with refinement and 50% Creativity (which includes 30% original concept and how well it matches this year's theme, 20% creativity in artistic composition, design and choice of colour).

Finally I want to thank you so much for our teachers' effort in inspiring all of you in this project and setting this art show together. I hope you all enjoy the art show sharing!

歡迎蒞臨智新年度創作畫展「珍惜瀕危生命」暨學生頒獎禮及慈善籌款日 ~ 校長伍文燕感言

智新作品美術學校年度學生創作畫展於本年一月廿日至廿三日在大多倫多文化中心藝術廊展出了。今年的主題是「珍惜瀕危生命」, 啟發兒童創意,表達愛護世界, 珍惜瀕危生命的信息, 過程中每位參展學生都認真地搜集不同野生動物的資料, 認識其形態及瀕臨程度, 精心思考突出的構圖, 引發別人拯救動物的心, 繼續傳達與大自然共螎的祝願! 今年本校通過慈籌活動, 售賣節日卡系列, 及動物毛公仔精品......等, 共籌得$1300.00捐贈世界野生動物基金, 很高興我們能用藝術創作來幫助拯救瀕危野生動物。

本校定期舉辦這年終的全校創作畫展始於2006年, 是為了讓每位學生擁有相同機會, 將自己一年中所學到的創意及技巧盡量發揮並展示出來。每年以不同讓人反思的創作主題, 由四至十八歲以上的學生以創意非常、豐富奪目的油彩配此冬季的節日氣氛, 帶出令欣賞者感到希望及感動的畫面; 進行週年比賽, 同時將作品展出分享, 更為兒童作品製成節日卡。過去亦曾以售賣節日卡的活動為慈善機構籌款, 藉兒童的色彩與心聲喚起社會的愛心與關注。

創作畫比賽每年都成為智新其中一個學生們努力的目標, 今年參賽作品增至160份, 每組競爭激烈, 得不到奬項的學生也雖敗猶榮,因為比賽重點並不是獎項，而是建立良性競爭, 給予彼此爭取及挑戰自我進步的平台。每人都用心創作, 天馬行空地描繪出有趣窩心、意義深遠的作品, 充份展現了精益求精的耐性及學習了質素的要求！願望各位欣賞者都喜歡每位小朋友的參加作品, 亦希望在新一年看到學生更多的進步!
