Well, I started in a primary school that’s located in the Fargana, but there were not many art or craft activities that I did at school. However, every year in my hometown they organized a painting competition in which our school used to participate. When I was in 10s, I was selected by my school to participate in that competition. I remember I was very excited about it. There were two more participants from our school, but they were from the other sections. We were given enough shade over there, but we had to bring our protocols and brushes. The theme we got to draw and paint on was global warming. Although the theme was announced on the spot, I was well aware of global warming as it had been taught to us in science classes. On the right hand corner of my sheet I drew a person cutting trees. Next to it I drew a factory that was emitting smoke from its timeness. Next to it I drew a house with all windows and two cars parked in the front. The things represented the causes of global warming. On the upper left side I drew a mountain with mountain glaciers and water flowing down to the sea to represent the sea levels. On the lower left corner I made a few flyers and muscovites with happy faces depicting their happiness. They seemed unreal, but I wanted to convey that these insects are happy in the hot weather and just laid to the seizes. Then I painted it all and named my painting Global Warming Coses and Effectives. I was very happy with my mark. My joy knew and bounced when my name was announced as the winner of the competition. So my school principal told the whole school about my achievement in the morning assembly the next day, the painting in the school corridor even today. So I’m happy with that.

Well, I started in a primary school located in Fargana, but there were not many art or craft activities that I did at school. However, every year in my hometown, they organized a painting competition in which our school used to participate. When I was in my teens, I was selected by my school to participate in that competition. I remember I was very excited about it. There were two more participants from our school, but they were from other sections. We were given enough shade over there, but we had to bring our palettes and brushes. The theme we got to draw and paint on was global warming. Although the theme was announced on the spot, I was well aware of global warming as it had been taught to us in science classes. In the right-hand corner of my sheet, I drew a person cutting trees. Next to it, I drew a factory that was emitting smoke from its chimneys. Next to it, I drew a house with all the windows and two cars parked in the front. These things represented the causes of global warming. In the upper left side, I drew a mountain with glaciers and water flowing down to the sea to represent rising sea levels. In the lower left corner, I made a few flowers and butterflies with happy faces depicting their happiness. They seemed unreal, but I wanted to convey that these insects are happy in the warm weather and just laid by the seas. Then I painted it all and named my painting Global Warming Causes and Effects. I was very happy with my mark. My joy knew no bounds when my name was announced as the winner of the competition. My school principal told the whole school about my achievement in the morning assembly the next day, and the painting is in the school corridor even today. So I'm happy with that.
