The red lighthouse and blue ocean are the vivid and beautiful characteristics of the harbor. Yang Ming Cultural Foundation has held the International Children’s Painting Competition since 2006, which is well-supported by both local and overseas children who love painting. With the theme of “Harbor Feel, Coastal Home”, children portrayed various coastlines, rivers and fishing-port scenery through their observations. This has facilitated their exploration of the secrets of, and respect for, the ocean, and hence built a foundation for sustainable development of the ocean arts.
Focus：Children are encouraged to observe and discover the beauty of the ocean and the coastline of their homeland through artistic creation. Children may also express their concern over global ocean warming through painting, so that a new vision of the oceanic world opens up for them.
