Josiah’s painting depicts all the energy and excitement a child’s mind can come up with. While he has chosen to paint his character and otters in a relatively simple style, his composition succeeds in creating a sense of movement, and the bright, clean colours are truly eye-catching.

Worawit’s shows a deep fascination and close observation of the subject matter, a Singapore Airlines plane. He has successfully painted details such as the logo on the plane and its row of windows. The bright blue background provides a contrasting background to the greys and whites of the airport scene.
