Cambodian Student from Phare Ponleu Selpak, Lex Tingkong,
One of the Awardee, in Toyota Cambodia Drawing Contest 2020
Drawing is so popular among young Cambodian nowadays. There are many drawing classes at private school and some art schools supported by NGOs. Phare Ponleu Selpak is an association to support students giving free education of drawing. Here, Mr. Lex Tingkong, a student from Visual and Applied Arts School of Phare Ponleu Selpak, go the drawing award in TOYOTA Drawing Contest 2020 about Dream Car. You see his artwork is so interesting mixed with Khmer Art and his imagination.
Drawing is not only about Khmer art, but now being mixed with contemporary art by the western influence as well. Kids are now smart and so creative. We believe in them bring Cambodia drawing art to the world contest as well.
Regarding to the Toyota drawing contest is done annually and many kids attended from all provinces and cities of Cambodia. This is the good initiative for Cambodia to start valuing our culture and art; art can change life of an individual.
Hope you support our young Cambodia for their creative artwork and there is drawing being sold near the temple and some shops in the city as well. Take care at your home and learn to draw for your own experience.
