12th Contest (2021)

The forest is the home of animals. No one should bother the animals and we should be friends with them and help them.
I love all animals and I like giraffes more, so I drew this painting to show the children that we should help the animals. In this painting, I went into the forest with my mother and there I saw a giraffe that his leg was injured. The giraffe’s friends were upset that their friend’s leg had been injured. I bandaged her leg with the tools I had and Giraffe and I became friends.

The people are looking after an injured giraffe together and the painting is filled her thoughtfulness and adoration for nature. Overall, the painting looks shiny, embodying her strong wish for an ideal world and her hopes for the future. Giraffes are peeking through the trees, and it makes us realize that she is seeing plants and animals as equal creatures. Meanwhile, the giraffes’ faces look as if they are keeping a certain distance from the humans, perhaps suggesting that nature and animals are testing humans to see if we are on their side. The dotted style fills the work with rhythm and joy.

You know how much more polluted the air is when we are in a car than when we are on a bus. Or how long does it take for our gum to decompose when we drop it on the floor?
In this painting, I wanted to remove all the pollution and return the lost beauties of nature to nature by the angel I loved.

There is a moment just before sunset when the landscape is enveloped in a golden shine. The painting reminds us that there are beautiful moment and happiness in our ordinary life, which we are common to forget as we keep busy. The painting warms our heart as beautiful nature and the scene we stare at and it makes us wish that the happy scene in this painting will last forever. The sensitivity is outstanding, catching and cherishing this moment, and wanting to draw it as well as the power of expressions that makes us viewers to feel the birds chirping, the car revving, and even a whiff of the air in town.

We need to take care of the environment with love. I love forest. I love animals. And, I want everyone in the world to love It too. If we love animals and forest, That make we don’t want to destroy it. We will live with nature to be happy and sustainably.

While many entries feature scenes of nature observed from the city side, appealing how they adopt the beauty of nature, this entry features a scene of the city from the nature side. Changes in thinking and how to focus on viewpoint is quite unique. The city is not impassive but somehow oozes warmness that gives us a new feeling, when it’s seen from this angle, it shows that cities are not too bad. We also received a message that we must create an environment for cities that enables us to live in harmony with nature and animals.

I drew trees, giraffes, and lions because I love animals and the earth! We need lots of trees so that there is a comfortable home for animals and that the Earth’s environment will be even more wonderful.

The trees are branching naturally, so we were impressed with her observation. The leaves are randomly painted with a dot-like touch, letting the animal peek through the leaves to express the flow of the wind and the rhythm of the vibrantly swaying leaves, which is excellent. There are no humans directly placed in the painting, but it tells us that we, as observers, are also part of nature. She draws the world seen through her eye as a child, not the world adults want to create.

The children hear cicadas chirping and enjoy singing along with them. When a cicada’s life ends, it returns to the ground and becomes nutrients for plants. The children are so grateful that this helps the life of all living things continue. The whole humankind must protect the world’s environment together and avoid causing damage to it so that the lives of different living things on the Earth can continue forever.

The work is themed on “life and death.” The word sustainable is usually translated as the ability to sustain, but it originally means a continuous cycle. Sustainable means the continuous cycle of life and death, passing life onto the next generation, and this painting captures it magnificently. It is also drawn the dead cicada provides nutrients to plants, connecting all living creatures. The painting is a great work with depth that casts a spotlight on short-lived cicadas, mourning their deaths, and expressing gratitude at the same time to the cicadas for having lived their life.

That the environment will be sustainable, it is not just someone’s duty but it is our “COLLABORATION” to conserve forest, create nature, and reduce pollution emission.
To sustainably live, whether the environment will be sustainable or not, it is in all our hand.

In so many environmental issues such as forest fires and gas emissions, the painting is pleading for us to protect our verdantly beautiful planet. The earth is made of handprints, directly communicating that “if we join hands and come together, we can make a beautiful world”. The painting features various painting styles that are balanced. The overall colors and tones are also beautiful, achieving a pronounced level of perfection.

According to ancient Indian scriptures five elements of nature (Panchmahatatva) namely, earth, water, fire, sky and wind, are responsible for the creations, survival and sustainability.
For the betterment of future generations, we must protect this ancient sage with careful management, and this is the only way for the sustainability of life on the planet earth.
In my drawing, the Banyan tree (longest surviving plant) represents living life on earth and the ladies shown are the tree’s five elements of nature, which are protecting the tree and praying to god for sustainability.

The beautiful color contrast instantly captured our attention. Despite the complex color coordination, the colors of the background, tree and clothes are positioned with no hesitation and highlighting outstanding sense. The imposing composition is attracted when we look at it from afar, while boldness and sensitiveness are well-balanced with extremely detailed touches when we look at it from up to close. “Earth, water, fire, sky, and wind”, the five elements of nature from ancient India is protecting life, and it shows there is a hint for how to be sustainable.

From the tree, branches and roots will grow an environmentally friendly generation. I present my work through a group activity in which I read together with my best friend. Our story is immortalized in eco-friendly activities. Come on, be diligent in reading!

Children are gathering at the top of the tree and each one is looking at own tablet. A very unique work including a mixture of “online and offline,” and “nature and technology”. Instead of denying technology, the painting shows a possibility through the child’s point of view that nature and technology can exist together. This work features rich expressions and an approach that is different from others.

People and nature are in a close relationship that cannot be expressed in words. Humanity needs to be kind to nature so that the natural world can survive. If we do this, then we can enjoy the blessings of nature. As the economy develops rapidly in the modern age, what we need to do is to be in harmony with the environment, not just to protect it. If people can be in harmony with nature, then they can create a wonderful tomorrow. This picture expresses to everyone that we need to treat nature carefully as nature is essential for us to survive.

Is the girl caringly holding the animals the painter herself? The painting tells that she loves and wants to respect nature, and it also shows the wonderfulness and preciousness of living in harmony with animals and nature. Concrete buildings and beautiful nature are uniquely placed on the girl’s hair like a collage, they also emphasize how nature is merging with city. The color arrangement of the light-colored flowers in the background and the use of green are also beautiful.
