LAWRENCE, NEW YORK (FEBRUARY 2024)—Lawrence Primary School celebrated the upcoming Lunar New Year with an engaging art project. Students showcased their creativity by drawing dragons to commemorate the Year of the Dragon.
The Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is an important traditional holiday in several Asian countries, as it marks the beginning of the lunar calendar year. Celebrated with great enthusiasm, the Lunar New Year is a time for families to come together, exchange gifts, and share festive meals. By incorporating this cultural celebration, Lawrence Primary School aims to educate students about different traditions and foster a sense of appreciation for different cultures.
Students were encouraged to explore their creativity and imagination while creating unique dragon drawings. The art project not only allowed the students to express themselves artistically but also provided them with an opportunity to learn about the significance of the dragon and the dragon dance. The artwork was inspired by the story “Chinese New Year’s Dragon” by Rachel Sing.
