"The young generation of the SCO already shares the principles of the 'Shanghai spirit', embodying mutual trust, tolerance and respect for the diversity of civilizations, and calls for solidarity and comprehensive support," he said, adding that these types of creative projects bring the members of the SCO closer.

The lecture started with an introduction of the development of winter sports in China, and then children worked in groups to create their works on long scrolls.

Lecturer Zheng Qinyan, who is also a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, said the class was designed to help children better understand the Winter Olympics through the elements of traditional Chinese art.

The completed paintings depicted snow-topped mountains, people playing winter sports and various architecture. 

"The works really showed the children's enthusiasm for this traditional art medium and how they actively experimented with it," she said.

"Their works showcased great variety and creativity, and it gave the students good teamwork experience," she added.

Sun Heyan, a 13-year-old girl who participated, said it was her first time cooperating with other children to finish a large painting, and the process was very interesting.

"I am looking forward to the Winter Olympics and hope to show through my painting the image of Beijing, the city of the double Olympics. I also hope the Winter Olympics will be a success," she added.
