Hanoi (VNA) – The Vietnam National Fine Arts Museum has opened an online creative space for children on Saturdays to encourage them to explore and practice painting while staying at home to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Vui hoc ve tai nha” (Having fun learning to paint at home) is an experience project that provides the kids with access to video clips about various painting activities on the museum’s official website, enabling them to play with their imagination and relieve boredom during the lengthy period of social distancing.

The video tutorials instruct children on how to step by step create their own artworks, from what tools and materials they need to prepare, which are easy to find at home like leaves, flowers, or recycled products, to how to use them.

The project is expected to not only inspire the kids’ imagination and trigger their passion for arts but also raised awareness of environmental protection.

Last month, the Hanoi-based museum rolled out a 3D virtual tour in both Vietnamese and English, enabling the public to explore it remotely.

The launch of the free tour is hoped to allow arts lovers to enjoy the museum’s various collections of national treasures, paintings and sculptures anywhere and anytime, using their Internet-connected smartphones or computers.

It is part of the museum’s efforts to get closer to the public given that the COVID-19 outbreak has forced it to shut down for months./.
