This event highlighted the importance of art in addressing global challenges, particularly through the lens of sustainability.
Collaborative Environment
WISS students participated in this exhibition with peers from top international schools, creating a vibrant atmosphere of collaboration and creativity. This gathering allowed students to display their works and facilitated exchanges of artistic techniques and expression among diverse educational institutions.
Award-Winning Contributions
Among the notable achievements at the exhibition, WISS students Cherry Lin, Anastasiia Alekseeva, and Candice Zhao received awards for their outstanding artworks. Their pieces, created under the theme Guarding the Future, emphasized innovative approaches to sustainability through various mediums, including digital art, 3D art, and 2D art. This recognition highlights their individual talents and reflects the high standards of artistic education at WISS.
Thematic Focus on Sustainability
