Molin Wang is an 11-year-old going into the 6th grade. She was born in the Shang Yang province and grew up in China. She recently relocated to California in 2020. Molin says she enjoys being able to express her thoughts and feelings through many different art forms. She has
submitted four paintings for the art show. The titles are Happiness, Beautiful Home, Lotus Wind, and Happiness descended from the sky. Their favorite piece that she commissioned was Happiness shows Chinese painting with many different creatures, spider’s appearance is a good
omen in olden times. The image represents good luck and prosperity for the future. The painting’s theme is based on love, joy, and happiness, filled with color and intricate details. When asked what she would do next time if she were to repaint this piece, she said she would “ would improve the decorations and details, make the colors more vivid and clear.”
Her paintings took around 20-30 minutes to complete, and she mostly used Chinese ink and watercolor. Her parents supported her on her journey in art, and she first showed interest around the age of five. When asked why she chose to draw these specific paintings and donate them, she said she is “doing charities for human society, and I would
love to use art to benefit human lives.” She enjoys art and aims to express her feelings and bring up the brightness and joy in human nature for the future, inspire others, and provide hope in times of need. She takes pleasure in art and wants to show her creative impressions, add to her art, and express hope and feelings through many styles of paintings. When asked about her views on how art affects society, she says, “I think art is significant and powerful, and it gives people spiritual strength.”
She discovered PYD through a WeChat group and signed up as a volunteer teacher. Her aunt and parents helped her with some pieces, but the inspirations were original. She was inspired by nature and all the animals she saw outside. The biggest challenge, she said, was to come up with the ideas and clean up the details after the painting was almost
completed. The art show program of Global Youth Philanthropy aims to encourage and support young artists to contribute to their communities and make better social impacts via art philanthropic projects. We are glad to see students like Molin using their own strengths and making their own effort to benefit the community.
