On April 13, ICDS conducted the second course of the "Appreciating China through Painting" series for the families of foreign military participants. This course, themed "Fish Playing Among Lotus Leaves," drew upon the cultural symbolism of the lotus - elegant, pure, noble, and upright - integrating traditional calligraphy and painting art with the character of integrity and refinement. Through learning composition, color mixing, and brush control, participants gracefully painted the unfurling lotus leaves and the agile movements of fish onto scrolls, further experiencing the unique charm of Chinese traditional painting.
