7th Pan-Armenian Painting Day
`The purpose of the Painting Day is to encourage children to pay
attention to their immediate environment and to think about the many
environmental issues that our country faces,' said Ruben Khachatryan,
Director of the Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural
Assets (FPWC).
On 25 October 2014, the Yerevan Zoo was transformed into an open
painting studio for the 7th Pan-Armenian Painting Day with the
attendance of approximately 3000 children. FPWC, which planned the event
in cooperation with its General Partner VivaCell-MTS, invited children
from all parts of Armenia to paint their favorite nature paintings in
the zoo. The day is part of the Pan-Armenian Painting Contest held
annually, which invites Armenian children living in Armenia and abroad
to submit their best nature painting for various prizes.
`This is the 7th time I am participating in the Painting Day and
contest. This is a very special and memorable day for me and my family.
New colors, new people, sun, nature, festivities, and friends are some
of my favorite things about today,' says 13 years old Edmond Gevorgyan.
`I also appreciate the message of the day, which is to keep our
surroundings clean. But most of all I appreciate the opportunity to
paint amongst many others under the clear sky.'
In addition to painting, zoo guests enjoyed live music, break-dancing
performances, martial arts presentations, and participated in specials
games and contests.
The deadline for participating in the 7th Pan-Armenian Painting Contest
is November 30th. Paintings can be submitted electronically at
http://paintingday.sunchild.org. Bicycles, video cameras, and many more
gifts will be awarded to the winners.
