On the afternoon of November 18, Dr. Yullia Tveritina , a young artist from Ukraine , accepted the invitation of our International Exchange Division to come to our school for her art exhibition. Her husband, Mr. Ma Hanxiang, a teacher from Suzhou No.6 Middle School came with her.

President Yang Jianliang had a cordial meeting with Dr Yullia Tveritina and her husband. Cai Hongyu, Director of International Exchange Division attended the meeting. With the joint participation of Vice President Lv Hong and Director Wang Wanqing, the guests completed the ribbon cutting ceremony of Yullia's art show An Insight to YI. Dr Yullia and Mr Ma led our students from the Art Department to watch the exhibition and introduced the background and characteristics of the paintings in details. Yullia admitted that the pyrotechnic atmosphere of Chinese people's life greatly inspired her creation and enabled her to use more western techniques to demonstrate the charm of China. The guests also visited our art classrooms and watched some students' works accompanied by Director Wang and Director Cai.

At the end of the visit, Dr Yullia and Mr Ma brought a special lecture to our teachers and students in the concert hall. Yullia explained the theme of An Insight to YI and her creative inspiration combined with her own reality. In the lecture, she appealed to the students to learn more about children's paintings, so as to maintain their young creative mind. The students expressed that they had benefited a lot from the lecture.

The exhibition will last until early December in Room 107 on the first floor of the administration building.
