My 4th Big Help Art Trophy in a row...

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, 5, 2013. This year also I took BigHelp theme and did this drawing which won me 2nd Prize in the category of 5th and 6th graders.

This time, the idea was to help kids become starts of the nation. Providing education is a BIG HELP in achieving this goal. I took the BIG HELP logo and portrayed Goddess Saraswathi to represent Education and drew a bird rising and flying to become the start of the nation. The same BIG HELP logo is used to show a kid becoming START of the nation.

This time the caption of my drawing was Educating kids is a BIG way of HELP making future starts of the nation!, by highlighting BIG HELP in it. I used water color pencils this time. My Dad introduced me to water color pencils and I enjoyed it.

Here is my trophy and Certificate:

As usual, my Dad was the first one to Congratulate me and said "Congratulations Bhuvan! You did it fourth time in a row". But I was little disappointed at the result, I was hoping for the 1st prize. All my friends and parents said my Art work deserved a 1st place.

Me receiving my Trophy and Certificate:

It was an all day fun event. I also participated in Mat Bee, but I have never been serious about this competition. At the end I had so much of fun with all my friends.

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

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

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 coloring context at my school...

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…

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.

I also started playing my favorite sport soccer, just had a practice session at YMCA, Foxboro.

Today, I learned the following Art vocabulary in my class:

• Contour Lines

I am excited and I think my Dad was even more excited than me. :)

My First ever prticipation in a Drawing Contest...

I participated in a Drawing Contest conducted by Telugu Association of Greater Boston (TAGB) on the occasion of Sankranthi Celebrations (a festival of harvesting) and won First Prize for my above drawing. I am very happy and just want to share this moment with my family and friends.

I enjoyed the competition and it was great to know the very special festival: Sankranthi. My Dad told me all about the festival and how it used to be celebrated during his childhood days. I could visualize the festival and felt like it is a great fun for Kids. I hope I will experience this festival in India in my future.

Here is the picture of my Trophy.

2008 Thanksgiving Turkey Drawing

Baby Hanuman

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.

Me a(r)t work...

My dad took this picture while I was seriously doing some drawing yesterday (Nov 23, 2008). How cooooooool is that?

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

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..... ;)
