Creative Art Moulds Child’s Moral Nature

Bandar Seri Begawan – Drawing and creative art can mould a person's moral nature to be more sensitive to, and aware of, his surrounding environment.

Dr Haji Abdul Latif Bin Haji Ibrahim, Special Duties Officer at the Ministry of Education, said art and drawing is still relevant and runs parallel to the progress and requirements in other fields.

He said the belief that the subject art is not important today is incorrect.

He was speaking at the presentation of prizes to the winners of the 36th Drawing and Creative Art Exhibition for primary and secondary schools as well as colleges.

According to Dr Haji Abdul Latif Bin Haji Ibrahim, such personification makes him feel that he's part of the environment, encourages him to become a responsible person and appreciates his talents apart from having high self-discipline.

The exhibition received a tremendous response from students all over the country.

More than 1,500 drawings and creative art have been submitted to the organising committee.

From that figure, only 140 pieces of art were put on display at this exhibition.

Among the winners was the grand daughter of His Majesty, Princess Raheemah Sanaul Bolkiah Binti Pengiran Anak Dato Laila Utama Haji Abdul Rahim.

Princess Raheemah was awarded the excellent prize in Category 'B' for Primary One to Primary Three pupils.

The overall winner in the category of secondary schools and colleges was the Chung Hwa Secondary School.

Meanwhile, the Jangsak PDS School was the winner in the primary schools category.

The three-day exhibition, which is open to the public during office hours, is being held at the Art Gallery of the Handicraft and Training Centre Building in Jalan Residency.

It is an annual project of the Department of Co-Curriculum Education. -- Courtesy of Radio Television Brunei
