Student art brings fun to park

Ocean Park got a dash of color and fun yesterday when more than 30 students with special educational needs and their families decorated a wall with lively graffiti at the Ocean Park yesterday.

The scheme was a joint effort by the park and the Education University of Hong Kong Jockey Club Youth Academy for Special Educational Needs.

With the theme of Expressions of My Heart, the pupils aged three years and above added a creative touch to the feature wall at the Waterfront Plaza in the park.

The wall was already painted with some happy faces, with space left vacant for the students to finish. They were coached on the creative process, adding different colors and facial expressions to the paintings.

They also danced with Ocean Park staff and Whiskers Villagers.

"By embracing diversity and fostering an inclusive community, Ocean Park celebrates the uniqueness that makes each individual shine," said the park. The paintings will be on display from July 8 to August 28.
