THE WORLD OF MY NATION

Kostanay 28.12.04

  "Eladim" children's club of Kostanay community center actively prepares to participation in a creative contest "The world of my nation", declared by "Mitsva" Association and "Rimon" Jewish community center 10 days ago.

   Children draw, make applique works of colored paper and natural materials. Each work is a little world, a world of child's fantasy. In their crafts children uncover their feelings and thoughts to everyone, tell about their problems.

   "It was very interesting for me to draw my thoughts. It turned out that my nation, I mean the way I feel it, is better to draw in blue color. It is like summer sky!", 8-years old Yulya Smolina says.

  We remind that children form the Jewish community of Kazakhstan can also take part in the contest. And one of the following themes should be reflected in the work:

  • As I understand the role of Jews in the history of Kazakhstan or the whole world.
  • Relations between Jews and other nations (at present, in the past, in the future). Mutual understanding and misunderstanding, mutual help and conflicts …
  • Bright, distinguished features of my nation (what differs Jews from other nations; for example, a typical portrait of its representative).
  • Jewish customs, Tradition and holidays
    (one of them or something typical for all holidays, all customs).
  • Historical trials of my nation: the way they reflected on people (on my relatives etc). From coming form Egypt till our days - any historical events.
  • An idea of my nation from the point of view of an art. How can one imagine the general image of the Jewish nation?
  • My nation - in Israel and other countries. What is Motherland for us?
  • I'm a representative of my nation.

   Works can be made in any techniques: watercolor, oil, graphics, appliqu? work etc. The works should be accompanied with an explanatory note containing author's data: family name, name, date of birth, city, name of the work, techniques, your home (or organization's) contact phone number. Works should be done in format A4-A3 and put into frames or paper mat.

   Contest winners will be given diplomas and prizes. Best works will be published in publications of exhibition organizers and take part in an exhibition "The world of my nation" that is to be held from January 22 till February 15, 2005.

  Works will be accepted till January 20, 2005.
