The Arts Ambassadors-in-School Scheme is organised by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. It encourages students to take their passion for the arts beyond school and into the wider community. The ambassadors will take part in a series of arts programmes during the school holidays.
This week's artists are Wong Man-chun from Buddhist Wing Yan School and Doris Hung Wing-ki, of Kwun Tong Government Primary School (Sau Ming Road).
Wong Man-chun
My most memorable artistic experience started during last year's summer holidays when schools closed early because of the swine flu epidemic. During this extended vacation, I joined a local art class for children and was introduced to clay art. I loved it because I could make so many different things, including cartoon characters and decorations.
I made a lot of things for my family. My mother loves flowers, so I made a clay vase. My father is always talking on his mobile phone, so I made him a handset holder. My sister likes to draw, so I made a pencil holder for her. For myself, I made a clay house in the countryside, with the sun shining brightly. Clay art is interesting and fun - I can make anything I want.
