Congratulations to rising senior Jiawei Chen on winning first place in the Lake County Division of the 2024 Congressional Art Competition. This year’s theme was “America the Beautiful.” Jiawei’s artwork will be prominently displayed in the Cannon Tunnel in Washington, D.C. The Cannon Tunnel connects the Cannon House Office Building with the U.S. Capitol and is traveled on a daily basis by members of Congress, their staff, and visitors.
恭喜即将升入高中毕业班的陈嘉薇同学在2024年美国国会艺术竞赛湖县分区中荣获第一名。今年的主题是“美丽的美国”。陈嘉薇的作品将在华盛顿特区的Cannon隧道中得到重点展示。该隧道连接着Cannon众议院办公楼和美国国会大厦，每天都有议员、工作人员和游客经过。
“The title of my work is ‘The Central Park,’ which showcases a bridge connecting the cityscape to the park within Central Park during the summer,” said Jiawei. “The symbolism behind the piece is that the connection between people and nature contributes to the beauty of America. Winning this award fills me with great honor, and I want to express my gratitude to my art teacher, Mrs. Tubbs, for her encouragement and support.”
“我的绘画作品名叫《中央公园》，展示了夏天时连接城市景观和公园内的一座桥梁。”陈嘉薇谈道。“这件作品背后的寓意是，人与自然的联系为美国的美丽做出了贡献。获得这个奖项让我感到无比荣幸，我要感谢我的美术老师Tubbs夫人，感谢她的鼓励和支持。”
