Children are gifted with creativity and imagination, they can always make their daily routines full of fun and beyond anyone’s imagination. Siu Sze (pseudonym) is a kindergarten K1 student. She’s been loving drawing since childhood, she feels happy whenever she picks up a brush to paint or draw. Siu Sze’s mother takes care of her alone, and they rely on the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) scheme to maintain their daily livings.

Nonetheless, all kindergartens are suspended due to the outbreak of COVID-19. As Siu Sze’s mother is not affordable to pay for her extracurricular activities like painting classes or art classes, Siu Sze can only stay home to paint whatever she wants.

Children’s learning ability develops the fastest during their early ages. Our social worker didn’t want Siu Sze’s development would be constrained by the family financial status, so she helped Siu Sze to apply Treasure Trove for joining the art classes. This allows Siu Sze to have a chance in learning different types of artistic creation techniques in order to develop her artistic sense and creativity during the class suspension period.

Siu Sze tried different art craft styles and themes, such as clay crafts and watercolor painting in this semester. Throughout the creations, it helped Siu Sze to build up her confidence, made her willingness to share more with her classmates and improved her concentration. It even broadened her future development path in her ‘Little Artist’ experiences.
