On some summer I teach the Uran Biir Art School at the Mon-Ael Mongolian Cultural Center for the Arts in Colorado. Recently some students submitted art to the Cray-Pas Wonderful, Colorful, World Contest – an national oil pastel art competition open to students grades Kindergarten to 8th grade. I was so proud to hear that they placed in high merits this year. Approximately 4,500 students from the U.S and Canada entered this year’s contest and 150 finalists were chosen for further consideration as part of the Cray-Pas Contest exhibit at the Museum of Children’s Art (MOCHA) in Oakland, CA.
