Anya: National Students Arts Festival 2018 – Poster Design
Anya and her school friends spent a few good hours today at a nation-wide competition, organised by the Ministry of Education and Culture #kemendikbud
It’s called ‘Festival Lomba Seni Siswa Nasional’
…
One of the categories was ‘Poster Design’ and her school selected 3 students to go for ‘Grade 7-9’ individual category.
The given theme was: ‘Bhinneka Tunggal Ika’ – Indonesia’s ‘unity in diversity’ motto.
And so Anya went with her friends to the appointed venue, and she created THIS, on a piece of paper given by the committee.
…
🔴 The message was:
🇲🇨The lady is the personification of Indonesia’s diverse culture. Balinese headpiece, and the patchwork skirt is a combination of different Batik artworks from the 5 main islands in Indonesia. She is the ‘ONE’ in IndONEsia
🇲🇨The background represents Indonesia’s famous landmarks and beautifully rich nature
🇲🇨The lady points upwards towards ‘God’ as Indonesia’s ‘first principle’ in Pancasila is ‘Belief in one and only God’. So it is only by God’s grace, if Indonesia can stay as ONE amidst its diversity
🇲🇨The lady also points forward, as we must continually move forward towards a better future
…
The thing about the competition is, it apparently needs to be done ‘digitally’, using Photoshop, Illustrator or CorelDraw.
It was ‘Bhinneka Tunggal Ika’ in our digital era.
Participant was supposed to bring own laptop, too.
And errr, Anya and her friends did not know how to use the software just yet, nor did they bring any laptops.
In the end they were asked to join in and draw their poster manually on a piece of paper.
…
Anyway.
To me, whether Anya or her friends won the competition, … it is not as important as giving their very best within the short time given to them.
She’s a winner in our hearts for giving her all ❤️
(and for ‘nearly dying’ from drawing the batik patterns and completing everything within a short time, she said, haha)
