Idea & Concept: Have you ever wonder what lanterns looks like? So bright in the sky lighting through our lives, like hopes and dreams.

Reference Artist: Henri Matisse
Theme Chose: Family, Hope and Dreams
Idea & Concept: Everything in life must grow. Family grows when you have different individuals coming together, hope grows when there is a way, dreams grows when you dream even bigger but all these has something in common which is you need to make an effort to protect it.
Art Movement: Fauvism and Colour Field
Reference Artist: Henri Matisse
Theme Chose: Family, Hope and Dreams
Idea & Concept: Mountains can be seen as obstacles and things go haywire at times like the green grass besides the mountains but the moon is represented as the hope while stars are seen to be dreams in the sky. Family plays an important role in supporting us through obstacles and helping us to work towards our dreams and hopes.
