Honorable Mention - Lucy Zhu

I drew a lot of red
envelopes because I got
lucky money for the
new year. I drew some
oranges. My family
likes to eat oranges at
the new year. I drew
beautiful flowers. I like
flowers. I also copied
some Chinese words in
my picture. These
Chinese words say
“Happy Chinese New
Year.”
Honorable Mention – Amy Fan
Seaford Harbor School
China is a country with lots of forests. In the forest lots of animals live. I
love the panda bear the most. They are part of our culture and country.
I cannot imagine China without pandas.
China is a big country. China has a lot of fun
places to visit. This year the famous Olympic
3rd Place – Winnie Shi 1st Grade Games will be open in China. In my picture the
Seaford Harbor School five cute Fuwa Dolls play some sports. They are
part of our culture. They show you that Beijing
welcomes you!
I drew how my family
spent the day during
Chinese New Year. Early
in the morning, my mother
went to the relatives’
houses to pass out the red
envelopes. My brother and
I dressed in special
Chinese lion costumes.
My brother wore the tail
part of the lion, while I
wore the head part of the
lion. A lot of people were
already out on the street.

Honorable Mention – Emily Hanley
Indian Hollow Primary School
Chinese people like to
do natural things with
their artwork. I used
the colors red, blue,
black, yellow, and
green. I made sure
that all of my artwork
was nice, pretty, soft,
and gentle.
I drew whisker and four
sharp teeth on the dragon
mouth. And I drew it with
wings and colored the
wings with different colors.
Then I drew it breathing
fire out of the dragon’s
mouth. Next I drew spikes
on its back and a tail with
fire. And I drew the
dragon curled like a snake.
Honorable Mention -Yi Hang Lu, Grade 2

3rd Place-Andy Hims, Grade 5
P.S. 169 The Sunset Park School
The Great Wall stretches
more than 100 miles.
Chinese dragons are used to
scare evil spirits or bad luck.
Red is the lucky color in
China. The flag of China is
also red. On Chinese New
Year money is put in a little
red envelope. I had $200
this year. This year is the
Year of Rat.
I drew about Chinese New Year. In my picture, I drew a Dragon and
firecrackers because Dragons are important to Chinese people and Chinese
people want to wake the Dragon that is why they used firecrackers.
2nd Place-Sung Han Kang, Grade 4
P.S. 169 Bay Terrace Elementary
My Painting is celebrating the
Chinese New Year. There are
many people and it’s very
loud with a happy feeling.
The sister is feeding red
envelopes filled with moony to
the dancing Lion, who
symbolizes wealth and luck
for the New Year. . There is a
firecracker next to the older
brother and he is covering his
ears because it is so loud!
1st Place - Amanda Weng, Grade 5
P.S. 1 Alfred E. Smith School
I chose to draw this
picture because it was
about my culture and I
love Chinese New Year.
Chinese New Year is the
most fun and interesting
holiday in China. My
drawing includes much
red color because the red
color brings good luck! I
chose the mouse as part of
the character “FU” (luck)
because it represents the
Honorable Mention Zhou Lin Wang
Zodiac animal of this Year.
Grade 8, J.H.S. 185
I made a drawing of a rat in
celebration of the Chinese
lunar New Year. Aside from
the rat, I incorporated the
color red as much as I could
because red represents good
fortune and happiness. I also
included the Chinese
character “FU” to bring in
good luck. I added circles with
views of mountains inside to
let the viewer have a closer
look at the details in my work.
The mountains were inspired
by traditional Chinese
landscape paintings.
Honorable Mention –

Company School
I had a very fun time drawing
this picture. It was a sudden idea
for me to draw a mouse painting a
dragon, and I wanted to not only
imagine it, but to immediately
draw it as well. It was much of a
challenge; which I overcame, to
my satisfaction and relief.
The poem in the lower left
corner is about how a person is
waiting for letters from home,
which has to do with soldiers
being in Iraq, who are probably
waiting for the day that they can
finally return home.
3rd Place - Vitoria Wei Grade 8
Manhasset Middle School
The reason I painted a rooster is
2nd Place - Lin Yin , Grade 7 because in Chinese culture the
J.H.S. 189 Daniel Carter Beard rooster is a reminder that we
should get up early and have
courage.
I drew a pumpkin, and with
a rat sitting on it. Also, I
added two more rats under
the pumpkin, so that would
make it realistic. On the top,
I drew some chilies and
corns to make the whole
drawing "propitious" as
what Chinese people call it

画中的鼠怀抱葫芦扣 Honorable Mention – Zeng Zi Liang
一个“咬”字。相传 William Cullen Bryant High School
是鼠咬破混沌，泻出
阴阳。鼠腰和鼠前爪
图案的黑白也分别意
寓“阴”“阳”二字。
白色的是2008年奥运
会的标志，黑色的是
“鼠”字的甲骨文。
葫芦上的谷物图案象
征传说中鼠为人类带
来的谷种。身后的油
灯则代表民间儿歌中，
鼠用自己的尾巴吃到
灯油的机智。油灯上
的火焰不仅象征传说
中鼠为人类带来的火
种，也代表08年北京
奥运圣火。灯柱上的
橄榄枝意为世界的和
平。
我的作品是關於中
國古代的“仕女
圖”。明清時期是
仕女圖發展時期。
“仕女圖”不但展
現了古代女性的美，
更具有獨特的時代
特色。

荷花是我國的傳統名花。它具
有花葉清秀，花香四溢。有
迎驕陽而不懼，出淤泥而不
染得氣質。所以荷花在人們
心目中是真善美的化身，吉
祥豐興的預兆，是佛教中神
怪淨潔的名物，也是友誼的
種子。我真心希望， 荷花文
化能在弘揚和平、和諧文化
的進程中，也能被更多的人
所了解和熟知。

Grade 9
Bayside High School
This picture I drew is from a
photo that I took during the
travel in China. When I saw the
Great Wall for the first time, I
was amazed by its infinite length
which seemed not to end at all.
My work shows celebrating of
the Great Wall, great Chinese
culture with a show of fireworks
in the night sky. I didn’t draw
the end of the wall because it
never seemed to be end. It fades
away in my picture. The reason
that I drew the Great Wall is
because I had the firsthand
experience of visiting itand and
2nd Place – Seo Yoon Koo learning about it.
Jericho High School
這幅作品是一幅描述中國文
化的鉛筆畫作品，我以爲中
國文化樸實且自然。所以樸
實的黑白風格比較適合這個
主題。作品中的石獅兵馬俑、
天壇、熊貓等等。無論哪一
樣都是中國所獨有的特色。
這都是中國人智慧與汗水的
結晶。而將這一切“包圍”
起來的是由長城所變化成的
龍。因爲中國文化博大且歷
史悠久。並不是單單用一樣
文化產物所能表達的。所以
我選擇了使用多樣性的“代
表”來表現主題。而龍與長
城將這連接起來，來增加整
體感。這幅作用重點在於表
達中國各個文化緊緊相連，
不能彼此分離，並且豐富多
彩。
