Copying a Partial Section of  'Wutong Twin Rabbits' by Leng Mei ( Qing Dynasty,China)

I drew this rabbit for my dad since he was born in the Year of the Rabbit. Because the rabbit's fur is short, dense, and silky, when drawing it, the fur needs to be thin—no more than one millimeter per line. But the difficult part is the orientation of the fur. The Rabbit is the fourth in the Chinese zodiac, and the orientation of the fur has several sections. Each section's fur needs to be in the same direction, depending on the body line. Unfortunately, the third fur on the eyebrow is too thick.

I learned painting for three years. I initially drew trees and mountains, and the difficulty increased gradually. I learned the basics one by one, and now I've started to draw animals. Chinese paintings are divided into two kinds: the first is "freehand," which means you draw enjoyably and easily, and the other is traditional Chinese realistic painting, which means you draw carefully and with details. This rabbit is a traditional Chinese realistic painting. However, it is drawn on fabric, departing from rice paper. The fabric makes the paint dry fast.

I like to draw in my free time; it helps me relax. One day, when I was studying, I noticed a cup of milk and a pear my mom gave me for a snack. The way the smooth cup and the textured pear looked together fascinated me, so I decided to draw them to capture the simple beauty of that moment. 

My name is Emma. I'm 9 years old. I started taking art lessons when I was five because I want to put all the pictures in my mind onto paper. I enjoy working with watercolors and markers the most. In the future, I aspire to become an artist and have my own art exhibition.

It's like a little magical bubble world. The rabbit holds the umbrella because the bubble world is always sunny and shining. The snail is curious about the outside world, while the butterfly wants to enter the bubble world. The fairies have always guarded this little world. If you could enter this wonderful place, you would want to stay here forever!

I invite you to explore the harmony of history and artistry in this unique artistic creation. 

Flying Toward The Future represents the change that occurs when moving towards the future. The main figure of the piece is seen clinging onto a flying fish heading towards a futuristic Atlantis of sorts, resembling an ocean wave. As the ocean nears the structure it loses its old life and changes into something more mechanical. Though the figure is aware of the change the future brings, they still can't help but see the structure as a brightly lit hope, leaving their previous life behind for the future. 

In my room, a single sneaker sits, its laces neatly tied in a state of abandonment. Once part of countless adventures and long walks, it now seems to long for the days when it had a matching companion and the warmth of a foot within it. This lonely sneaker holds the stories of its journeys and the memories of places it has traveled, patiently awaiting the day when it can once again fulfill its sole purpose.
