ESJF Student Art Competition
​at Chiba Korean Elementary and Middle School
Marking our fifth consecutive year of support, in March 2021, ESJF organized a student art contest at Chiba Korean Elementary and Middle School in Japan. Three students’ paintings were selected--Act of Drawing, Moving Forward with Unity, and Overcoming Obstacles. Like many Korean schools in Japan, this school has been experiencing state-sanctioned educational injustices based on ethnicity. To learn about Chiba Korean Elementary and Middle School, click here.

Act of Drawing, 8th grade
Hui-dae Lee (리휘대)
Artist Note: What does it mean to draw?
I think as I draw people drawing. I guess we illustrate what we see, hear, feel, and think. Looking into my own heart, I freely drew my world.
​
그림을 그린다는 것은 어떤 일일가, 나는 그림을 그리는 사람을 그리면서 생각한다. 보고 듣고 느끼거나 생각한 것들을 나타내는 거겠지. 내 마음속을 들여다보고 마음껏 나의 세계를 그려보자.

Overcoming Obstacles, 7th grade
​​Ree-an Jo (조리안)   
Artist Note: There are so many obstacles to attending our Korean school [in Japan].  I drew on our determination and resilience to overcome any obstacles.

우리가 조선학교를 다니는데 어려움은 한두 가지가 아닙니다. 나는 우리앞에 그 어떤 난관이 닥쳐와도 꿋꿋이 이겨내는 마음을 그렸어요.

Moving Forward with Unity, 7th grade
Yoon-hee Chang (장윤희)​ 
Artist Note: When I participated in a demonstration for securing my [fundamental human] rights, I saw how peoples’ hearts became one and moved as one. I drew our collective heart, moving forward with unity toward hope. 

권리획득을 위한 데모에 참가했을 때 나는 사람들의 마음이 하나가 되고 움직이는 것을 보았습니다. 희망의 빛을 향해 앞으로 나아가자는 마음을 그렸습니다.
