Title: A child's eye
Medium: Oil paint, pastels, digital print
Description: This piece shows that although the world might not seem like a very nice place to be at the moment, with many global concerns arising every day, in particular the Coronavirus global pandemic, to a child, the world is still as wonderful as always. Children tend to see the small beautiful moments in everyday life and to me this is a viewpoint we should be adopting more often in times like this.

Name: Shuoqi (David)
Age: 18
Title: Sunset at lakeside,
Medium: drawing
Description: I‘ve seen this beautiful sunset sight in Yunnan - a southeast province of China. The environment around the lake is enjoyable-  there are no people around, very quiet. I can hear the birds, especially the air is clear and fresh. Fortunately I got chance to watch the sunset, the sunlight with mountain and waves in the lake...it's hard to describe by words. As a person who grow up in a big city, I can feel what a wonderful world in that moment, that kind of environment can make me calm down and think clearly. I created this work by hard pastel. It makes the whole picture looks bit hazy and calm.
