Bhuvan's (sm)art world...

My 3rd Big Help Art Trophy in a row...

2012-01-08T17:41:00.001-08:00

This year again I participated in a Drawing contest conducted by BigHelp on their annual meet to celebrate Pongal and Republic day Celebrations at Canton High School on Jan, 7, 2012. This year also I took BigHelp theme and did this drawing which won me 1st Prize in the category of 3rd and 4th graders.

The idea was to help kids in villages. A helping hand provides support with all educational needs of needy kids in villages sending them to school where kids learn, play and have fun together. This time the caption of my drawing was Education is the BIGgest HELP a kid can get!, by highlighting BIG HELP in it. I used color pencils this time.

Here is my trophy and Certificate:

My Dad was the first one to Congratulate me and said "Well done Bhuvan! You did it third time in a row". I asked, Is that a hat trick Dad? He replied, YES, it is!

Me receiving my Trophy and Certificate:

It was an all day fun event. I also participated in Spelling Bee and Mat Bee, but I have never been serious about those competitions. I also did a dance in the cultural programs. At the end I had so much of fun with all my friends.

I also won second prize at their last year celebrations. Check it here.

New Year with a new Art Trophy…Again

2011-01-17T06:43:00.000-08:00

This year again I participated in a Drawing contest conducted by BigHelp on their annual meet to celebrate Pongal and Republic day Celebrations at Canton High School on Jan, 10, 2011. This time I took BigHelp theme and did this drawing which won me 2nd Prize in the category of 3rd,4th and 5th graders.

The idea was to draw a needy kid who doesn't have any scope for education, not even food and clothes and looking fora helpig hand. A golden hand comes and helps him sending to School giving him education making him a happy kid. The Helping Hand comes from a responsible citizen. I tried to show the helping hand as nation, meaning Helping kid is helping the nation. The Sun on the left side is covered by a dark cloud, representing the dark life. On the right side, the kids life is filled with the glory of Education. Education is represented by Goddess Saraswathi's Veena and a Book. Also, I used appropriate colors to represent the life before help and the life after help.

Here is my trophy and Certificate.

Of course, my Dad was very happy and was the first one to Congratulate me.
Me with my Trophy and Certificate:

Here ate the top-5 finalists among which top-3 were selected by the Panel of Judges.

I also won first prize at their last year celebrations. Check it here.

I won cup stacking competition at my new school...

2010-04-16T18:59:00.000-07:00

My new school, Cottage Street Elementary School celebrated Cougar Day today and we had Cup Stacking competition. I competed with 2nd and 3rd graders and won the finals to become Cup Stacking Champion!.

It was a 6-cup stacking competition. We had to turn 6 cup stack into a pyramid of 3,2,1 and then back to single 6 stack. I did all that in 4.25 seconds.

I got "Cup Stacking Champion" certificate and Free Friday popcorn for the rest of the year. That was so cool.

My brother Rithvik also competed with 4th and 5th graders and won the final. I learned the technique from him the night before. Rithvik is really good at it. Thanks Rithvik for teaching me the technique.

2010-04-04T14:55:00.000-07:00

I won coloring contest at my School out of 400 contestants. My class screamed when they heard my name on the speaker. Some of my friends even told me that they knew I was going to win the contest. When I told my Dad, he gave me a BIG HUG. I got $10 to choose books from the book fair at my School. I bought Japanese erasers and the following two books (one for me and one for my brother Rithvik) and with that money.

Now I will have to practice and learn fast 'How to draw Bakugan'. I already did one and I will post it soon.

New Year with a new Art Trophy…

2010-01-10T06:30:00.000-08:00

I am back this year with another Art trophy. Yesterday we went to the Sankranti and Republic Day event organized by BigHelp in Boston area. I participated in Art contest and won 1st prize for my Sankranti drawing. I did one on the same subject last year in TAGB Sankranti celebrations which won me 1st prize. This time I made few changes and did the same but little different.

Last time it was based on what I learned from my Dad describing me how they used to celebrate Sankranti in their village Damaramadugu when he was a kid of my age. This time I added a Family, and a Happy home in a village celebrating the festival of joy, colors and harvesting.

When I saw all other kids’ works, I wasn’t sure if I would win 1st place this time. There were several good ones. But, my efforts delighted me again and won the 1st prize. I took the trophy on the stage along with other winners. I was telling my Dad after coming home that my hands were sweating when I was standing on the stage. I was really excited and started feeling the Joy of Winning.

Thanks to BigHelp organization for giving kids an opportunity to show their talents.

I also did a Bhangra Dance with my brother Rithvikand friends Nilay, Sridhar and Dhiren at this event. I love Hadippa song and will post my video next time.

Game-5 (Germany vs Italy)

2009-06-07T12:53:00.001-07:00

This is our (Germany) last game (versing Italy) for this season and we really had an awesome game. The Italy team was the best team that we played with this season. Their defense was really good, and I liked the way their team was moving on the field, they were all moving together. Especially at the goal, they were really close together protecting it. Their coach was really good too.

We lost this game. We scored 4 goals and Italy scored 6. It was tie until the last session and in the last session they scored 2. I was out for the last session on break and only could do some shouting 'go Germany, go Germany, go, go, go... ah we lost it!'.

I was out most of this game on breaks. I scored 2 goals when I was in offense and managed to send Italy team away from our goal with several BIG kicks.

Hahn...at the end we lost the game, our first ever game we lost in this season. We were unbeatable until this game; but it was the best game we had this season. Good game Italy!!!

I miss these games a lot. I wish we had more games. I hope to come back with my best again next year. Until then enjoy my Arts works again. :)

A BIG 'Thank you' to my Dad for capturing videos. Here are some of the best moments of this last game:

I got hurt at one point and was out for few minutes. The rest of my game was more careful and scored more goals. Good Game!!!

My new friend Sam (Build a Bear)...

2008-11-28T15:05:00.000-08:00

Hi friends,

I had a memorable Thanksgiving this year.

I got a Build a Bear today as a gift from my Mom and Dad for Thanksgiving. We went to Emarald Square Mall in North Attleboro and I had my bear born there in Build a Bear store. I built it by choosing a heart, putting the chosen heart inside its body, stuffing its body, and giving it bath. I bought a new NBA Basketball dress for it and dressed it up. Also named it as Sam. Then Sam was with me all the time in the Mall and had lunch with me at Burger King. Then it came home with me. Me and my brother Rithvik along with all our soft toys gave it a warm welcome party at home.

It was a fun day and I love my new friend Sam.

Baby Hanuman

2008-11-23T10:41:00.000-08:00

In my own words: I like Hanuman because he is the strongest God. He is strong and he can grow big and he has Gada. He could fly. He can break a mountain. I drew this because baby Hanuman is cool.

It is little bit hard to write my name in Telugu. But I know how to write it because my dad showed me once and I saved it.

My first ever attempt of Bapu's art work...

2008-10-19T03:39:00.000-07:00

My dad has a huge collection of Bapu's Art works. I do enjoy seeing his arts whenever my dad opens his collection. One day I just said, "Dad can I draw one of Bapu's?" and then tried this one. I even tried his very popular Telugu signature. My dad was so happy saying "Bhuvan, you are great!". I wondered "Is it soooo difficult to draw Bapu's?", my dad says "Yes it is" :)

By the by, I was born on the same day as the great Artist Bapu was born on (Dec-15). My dad thinks I will become a great Artist like him. Let's hope... practice, practice, practice, and see..... ;)

Mighty Hanuman - A try

2008-07-27T06:46:00.000-07:00

I tried to draw the cover page of "Mighty Hanuman" a series of amazing illustration paintings by Uttam that my Dad had collected befor I was born. I love Hanuman and I love this book. Just a thought about Hanuman gives me strength and inspiration to achieve anything.

My Dad says "Big ambitions at a Small age" when I said "Hope when I am big I can do paintings like Uttam".

"No Dad, I can" :)
