    Never forget your original intention, remember your mission, express your true self, and bloom with a childlike flavor.

    In recent years, our district has actively carried out research on the "children's taste" art education model, creating a regional advantage in school art education with "children's taste art" as the main feature. Let art education and teaching in schools be filled with a genuine childlike flavor, and make art learning the happiest and happiest life journey for students. Our educational goal is to make art education full of childlike charm and nourish our whole life through childhood. Our strategy and approach is to cultivate students who embody childlike innocence, shape teachers who are full of childlike innocence, and build a comprehensive children's music curriculum and create a campus culture that integrates childlike sentiments. This will bring new vitality, new forms, and a new atmosphere to Futian's art education industry.

Through extensive collection and rigorous selection, a total of 132 artworks from 34 frontline art teachers were exhibited in this exhibition. These works, either expressing their perception and appreciation of mysterious nature, understanding and contemplation of contemporary trends, or promoting their understanding and inheritance of excellent traditional culture, all vividly convey the truth, goodness, and beauty contained in the hearts of art educators. Let's trace the origin of childlike innocence and return to it with childlike charm. Through forms such as oil painting, traditional Chinese painting, watercolor, and lacquer painting, we engrave the educational pursuit of "authenticity, suitability, and inclusiveness" into original paintings, sincerely expressing the freedom and relaxation of art educators, who are like children. It not only showcases the learning achievements of primary and secondary school art teachers, but also becomes a professional and ideal display platform for mutual learning, collision and communication among art colleagues in our district.

The authors of this art exhibition are all from frontline grassroots art teachers who have been engaged in art education and creation for a long time, accumulating rich teaching and artistic experience. We hope that through this exhibition, while acknowledging the teaching dedication of teachers, it will also inspire them to persist in pursuing and improving, constantly exploring and innovating. At the same time, treating it as a sorting, exploration, and reflection of the "childlike" art education work is a sincere praise for the value pursuit of Futian art education.

    Never forget your original intention, remember your mission, express your true self, and bloom with a childlike flavor. We believe that Futian art education will usher in a more brilliant and beautiful tomorrow.
