Parent-child story telling activity by the Art Museum

Fourteen adorable children, aged four to seven, took part in the “Story Telling Competition” organized by the Art Museum on August 2.  All of them gave their best in their performances by making use of handmade props including a pyramid, keys and coins, to tie in with the competition’s “gold” theme. Their brilliant performances won enthusiastic applause from the audiences and judges.

The competition was the grand finale of the parent-child story telling activity organized by the Art Museum in conjunction with the “Radiant Legacy: Ancient Chinese Gold from the Mengdiexuan Collection” exhibition.  Prior to the competition, the children attended a four-day creative workshop hosted by renowned children’s literature writers and educators Poon Ming Chu and Poon Kam Ying.  The children were taught the craft of creating and telling a story, as well as how to use props to assist their performances.

Dr. Josh Yiu, Associate Director of the Museum, Poon Ming Chu and Poon Kam Ying acted as judges of the competition.  Six winners were finally chosen as below:
Champion - Katrina Ng
1^st runner up - Michaela Lee
2^nd runner up - Choi Pui Ying
Merits Award - Tsang Chi Yau, Lai Hing Yu, Hsu Chuo Ting.
