convincing clarity his book¡uThe Courage under the -40¢J¡v. In the

children with his avid depictions of frozen landscapes and his

The 26th Oil Painting Pastiche Exhibition has
been showing in April
The 26th Oil Painting Pastiche Exhibition
began in the end of April. The duration of the exhibition was
from April 13 to April 24 at the Cultural Affairs Bureau in
Hsinchu County. Oil Pastiche had been a tradition of the senior
Art class and was a superb show of art education in NEHS. Most
of the junior students barely learned about oil painting before;
they started learning about every detail of oil paintings under
the pressure from heavy school work. These students spent
Innumerable nights, weekends, and holidays in the art room. The
experience of oil painting replications, for these students,
included struggles and great joy. Thanks to the Cultural Affairs
Bureau in Hsinchu County and PTA for help and support,the
diligent teaching of Ms. Hsu, and the effort of the
students,which made visitors admire the oil painting pastiche.
