彩虹鱼—深海极客儿童绘画比赛

在孩子们心目中，海底究竟是怎样的？通过他们手中的画笔，或许我们能够感受得到。今天上午，2019年上海市浦东新区“全国科普日”系列活动——第二届“彩虹鱼-深渊极客”杯国际青少年绘画比赛颁奖典礼暨画展启动仪式在上海儿童博物馆举行。现场展出的40多幅获奖作品向观众呈现了一个想象力丰富的深海世界。

对话中的美人鱼、拟人化的潜水艇，甚至是富丽堂皇的海底宫殿——在孩子们的画笔下，幽静黑暗的深海被赋予了各种各样的色彩和意象。通过这些颇具艺术张力的画作，观众能感受到参赛的孩子们天马行空的想象力。

本次比赛共有来自七个国家的少年儿童参赛，评委从200多幅作品中挑选出了最优秀的40余幅进行颁奖。在颁奖仪式上，来自青岛、柳州、上海等地的获奖选手亲临现场。现场家长也表示，孩子通过描绘海底世界，进一步增加了对海洋的了解，提高了保护海洋的意识。

本次大赛由上海市浦东新区科学技术协会、上海海洋大学主办，画展于国庆期间在上海儿童博物馆首展。

What does the bottom of the sea look like in the minds of children? Through the paintbrush in their hands, we may be able to feel it. This morning, the 2019 Shanghai Pudong New Area “National Science Day” series of activities – the 2nd “Rainbow Fish – Abyss Geek” Cup International Youth Painting Competition Award Ceremony and Art Exhibition Launching Ceremony was held at the Shanghai Children’s Museum. More than 40 award-winning works on display present the audience with an imaginative world of the deep sea.

Conversational mermaids, anthropomorphic submarines, and even opulent underwater palaces – the quiet, dark depths of the sea are given a variety of colors and imagery under the children’s brush. Through these paintings with artistic tension, the audience can feel the imagination of the participating children.

Children from seven countries participated in the competition, and the judges selected the best 40 entries from more than 200 entries for awards. At the award ceremony, the winners from Qingdao, Liuzhou, Shanghai and other places came to the scene in person. Parents at the scene also said that their children further increased their understanding of the ocean and raised their awareness of protecting the ocean by depicting the underwater world.

The competition was sponsored by the Shanghai Pudong New Area Science and Technology Association and Shanghai Ocean University, and the exhibition was first exhibited at the Shanghai Children’s Museum during the National Day.
