  突如其來的一場全球的疫情,擾亂了有條不紊的生活節奏,先行者們與時間賽跑,與疫情抗爭,爲全人類奉獻和護航,在敬畏生命的旅程里,點亮了前行的希望。在沒有硝煙勝似硝煙的戰役里,旅美科技協會匹兹堡分會(CASTP ORGANIZATION),傾心舉辦了網上靑少年兒童藝術展,激勵孩子們和匹兹堡地區的人們,彙聚成光,用孩子的畫筆來祈禱明天會更好,讓冬日里繁星和春天里繁花一起綻放。
    大自然是萬物生靈的所處,是善良的慈母,人類在創造文明和科技進步的過程中,是否忘記了大海的哺育和叮囑,是否忘記了遮風擋雨的森林植被,是否忘記了過度開發導致自然界的生命無處棲息。。。。。。然而這場蓄勢而來的疫情能否眞的讓人類痛定思痛,敬畏自然,善待自然,感恩自然。。。。。。
   旅美科技協會匹兹堡分會的組織者和志願者們,決定扛起重任, 自己先做到,用自己的力量激勵孩子們,在疫情不外出的新型模式的網課敎學中,如何做到心正則安,用愈發善良的心去迎接不能改變的事實,用勇氣去創造新的學習生活模式,用智慧和知識去分辨眞善美,用神奇的畫筆和美麗的想象感激勇者爲我們的守護。感謝老師克服各種困難讓我們的網絡課堂不失精彩,感恩在艱難疫情里,相互理解,用眞誠和溫暖來共度難關。學會了我們微笑了,我們的同學,我們的老師,我們的家就會微笑,每個家微笑了,社區就微笑了,每個社區微笑了,社會就微笑了,溫暖的力量就會融化所有的寒冬,讓世界的每個角落開滿了愛的鮮花朶朶。


    這次的靑少年兒童藝術展陪伴了孩子們經歷風雨,敎會了孩子們同舟共濟,讓每個孩子的心里都有着勇敢,讓孩子的畫筆都像展翅翱翔的雄鷹,劃破夜的黑暗,勇敢飛向希望之光!
    我們在這些優秀的作品里驚喜地發現了這些小年齡的藝術人才以及他們充滿了熱情,能量,創意,思想,尤其在這場全球災難性的新冠疫情下,孩子們從校園里撤回家里,戴上了口罩,學習遠程學習,學習保持社交距離,他們沒有辦法像從前一樣和他們的夥伴們一起自由自在地玩耍,他們依舊充滿了滿滿的熱情,用畫畫出了他們的心聲,他們的思想,他們對生活的熱愛,他們對老人的關懷,他們對兄弟姐妹的愛護,他們對牛年的期待。小畫家們來自不同的文化背景,來自超過五十所不同的學校,更是得到了老師的幫助,他們用畫筆和他們的愛心畫出了保持社交距離,他們用美好的熱情畫出了美麗的山水,他們用他們的眼睛畫出了尊老愛幼。他們畫出了眞善美,他們的眼睛里有着美麗的世界,有着對美好的期待,還有一幅幅的春聯擁抱着傳統中國新年的吉祥喜悅。

我們也値此文鳴謝來自不同文化背景的藝術家們給予的鼓勵:
  From Mr. Anthony Goodwin (The chief of the art department at Shadyside Academy)
   The artworks that I viewed are a very good exhibition. I was thinking that my experience with a concurrent regional / national art show, that emphasizes awards, leaves a lot of students/children disappointed and is very judgmental as to the worth of the art submitted. I'm seeing your exhibit as more of a celebration, and I think that tone is beneficial and inclusive, especially for your inaugural visual arts chow.
   From Harish Saluja (Pioneered in promoting Indian music on public radio and bringing Asian films to Pittsburgh)-
I hope this will be successful and will continue on a continual basis. We need more such projects to heal a fractured society…
   From Joan Newland & Nancy Rierson (Retired artists who juried various art shows)-
   Organized by CASTP organization, over ninety students from area schools in Kindergarten through twelve grades were represented. Subject matter included the pandemic and the Chinese New Year including subjects of the students’ choice.
   The show represented a high level of creative talent and a mastery of mediums that they used which ranged from pencil to digital. The artwork was fanciful, original, imaginative and colorful and showed a mastery of their chosen medium. Subjects included animals, cartoon characters, figures and scenes.
   With a wide variety of representations, the artwork depicts comic and serious situations. The artist accompanied the paintings with a brief description.
Viewers will enjoy the music and the exhibit of the creative talent of the students’ work. Each can be proud of their paintings.
