Kujawa Elementary Student’s Artwork Selected for Houston NW Medical Center Exhibit

Christina Duong

The Houston Northwest Medical Center and Frost Bank sponsored their annual student art contest earlier this school year. Ninety pieces of original art created by children from Aldine, Klein and Spring independent school districts will be on display and open to the public for viewing during an exclusive reception for students and their families, which is set for Tuesday, Oct. 29 starting at 6:30 p.m. in the Front Entrance Lobby of the Houston NW Medical Center. At 7 p.m., the winners of the contest will be awarded.

Christina Duong of Kujawa Elementary School participated in the contest. While her poster did not win, it has been selected among the student artworks to be on display for the entire school year at Houston NW Medical Center. Duong’s artwork is among the 27 pieces selected to represent Aldine ISD.

Duong described the inspiration of her artwork.

“For ‘The Giving Hand,’ I started with the word ‘hope’ and then thought of the words that give me hope such as having love, peace, and friends in my life,” said Duong. “I emphasized the word ‘hope’ so it might give someone else hope when they are down.”
