The children's art exhibition is in an unprecedented scale. It displays more than 3,000 works, showing a colorful artistic world of children.

The theme of the exhibition is “Childhood Pleasure--Exploring the Beauty of Things”. The exhibition reflects originality and children's nature while fully respecting and cherishing the artistic nature of children, in an effort to present the truth, goodness and beauty of children's world.

Huang Wei, one of the curators of the exhibition, introduced that it took half a year to prepare for the exhibition. The exhibition attracted children from hundreds of schools and nearly a thousand off-campus institutions in Hunan Province.

The exhibits were selected from over 30,000 works in the province, involving plane design works, comprehensive materials, three-dimensional installations and stop-motion animations.

The exhibits cover six themes: classic culture inheritance, comprehensive materials, classic children's paintings from the museum collection, ethnic and folk art works, colorful three-dimensional installations, and brilliant childlike animations. Whether they are sketches, gouache paintings, ink paintings, collages, or art installations, they are all outstanding works selected from a wide range of children's works.
