The Water We Want 2022 - Drawings

The drawing is a reflection of colours in the farm which are brought through sustainable practices and constant irrigation facilities in the villages of India. The story of life on the farm and its rich biodiversity has also been displayed through the drawing. The drawing depicts the importance of dams, the canals which have reached the interior villages and the rivers which bring minerals and life to the crops and the produce. The waters from the rivers truly bring ‘rainbows’ to the farms and people’s lives.

In the future, water will become the most precious thing on earth. Humans live under the management of robots that do not need water. Due to lack of water, the whole earth has become desert. This is a shop selling water. Not only does it cost ten dollars for every drop of water, but a person can only buy ten milliliters at most. If we do not save water and continue to waste water resources, this is likely to be our future life. Therefore, please cherish every drop of water, protect ourselves and protect nature!

This Drawing represents the importance of saving water by using a comparison with saving money. People value money a lot, but they should value water equally (or even more), in particularly drinking water!

The Monster of the desert is devouring his way through Earth. This monster has been created because of our lack of attention. Every human being that is not taking care of the Earth is a monster to our Planet. Protect our water sources.

We live in a world today that does not even realize that they are maybe having some of the very precious drops which in coming days will cause riots, deaths, catastrophe and what not. They are unable to wrap this fact around their head that every single drop being wasted today is a cause of a death tomorrow…

It is a work called «The Last Drop at the Tap» carried out by the Angels of the crib L'Atelier des Anges which represents the harmony between water, earth and greenery. The colours, the mixture of the latter, the stains of the brushes were made by our little ones. A free work framed to value the importance of water for our planet. The last drop at the tap..." Water is gold, take good care of it. It’s a treasure in your hands. The gardener will weep for his flowers when they fade, he’ll think he’ll regret them. Take care it’s a treasure."

In my painting, I draw plants and animals like birds, fish, mammals, etc.. There are creatures in every corner of the world, no matter we can see or not. They are living in the forest or in the sea, influencing and depending on each other. However, some creatures have become extinct, and we need to protect the homes of animals and plants together. One hand in the picture holds up a green mountain, which means the protection of nature requires effort of each of us. Protecting biodiversity is everyone's responsibility. Only in this way can man and nature live in harmony.

The inspiration of my work is: when humans are thirsty, the earth selflessly provides water for us, but what if the earth becomes thirsty several years later? Is water inexhaustible? The answer is a definite “no” . Although 70.8% of the earth is covered by water, 97.55% of it is from sea, which can neither be directly drunk nor used for irrigation. Of the remaining 2.5% of fresh water, less than 1% of it can be used by humans. Indeed, from the emergence of primitive life on earth to now, water has been serving life and never stopping. But I wonder if you have ever thought: the tolerance of water is not unlimited. Today water resources are in short supply! There are mainly two reasons for this: first, the earth is short of water by nature; Second, humans’ destruction. We can't blame the earth for its lack of water, on the contrary, we should thank it for creating a beautiful home for us. So let's save water in daily life and call on the people around us to cherish and love water together!

This work is a comparison between the presence and absence of water. The world with water resources (upper part of the picture), people live happy lives in it; the world without water (lower part of the picture), people can’t survive in it. The world is very beautiful with water. The picture wants to tell people to save water.

The main inspiration of my painting is the withered leaves shrivelling up in a vase from lack of water. It indicates that human beings are extravagant and wasteful on water use, for which the ground becomes dry and cracked, magma flows out and the Earth burns fiercely. In return human beings are punished. The "whale" is redeeming the world. This painting calls upon everyone to save on water.

Water is the source of life, without water, there will be no green world; without water, there will be no beautiful clouds in the sky. Everything will lose life without water. If we save a drop of water every day, it can bring a tree, a person, an elephant back to life and even save our earth. Please fasten the tap in time and cherish every drop of water in our life! Protecting water resources needs everyone to join together.

Water gives birth to life; Water nourishes the universe. The Yellow River culture is an important part of Chinese civilization, it is the root and soul of the Chinese nation. “Root” means Chinese culture originates from the Yellow River culture, and “soul” means the core and values of Chinese civilization are derived from the same origin with those of the Yellow River culture. Li Bing built (in charge of) the Dujiangyan Water Project (starting around 256 B.C.), the project benefited surroundings and created a “Heavenly Land of Plenty". The Grand Canal (built in 486 B.C.), through which enormous vessels with passengers and cargoes go back and forth from Beijing to Hangzhou. The collapse of the Antarctic ice shelf and destruction of beautiful homes has left penguins nowhere to settle, which has set alarm bells ringing to human beings. This work reminds mankind to protect our freshwater resources by portraying the magnificent water heritage and the reality of global warming!

Our thoughts about water are linked to everyday life and to what happens every day in our homes. All of us, young and old, need water to live. Water is fundamental and necessary for human beings and it is essential for plants and animals subsistence. Thanks to water, wonderful colorful flowers bloom on the green meadows, all animal species breed and populate the Earth. In the rivers, flowing water tells the story of the planet: it reminds us of the past, it gives us the present and, if we learn to respect and care for it ...it will be our future! Thanks water!

The rivers wide network must be preserved just to permit us to live in a true blue and healthy planet.

Based on the actual climate changes the ice is cracking and melting down. Can we save the poor little bear?

The Grand Canal of China was inscribed as World Cultural Heritage in 2014, representing the longest and largest hydraulic system in the world. The drawing When History Meets Future depicts a harmonious coexistence between the ancient stone bridge on the Grand Canal and the modern buildings. The Grand Canal has witnessed thousand of years of Chinese history and it also embraces the coming of a prosperous future. The Grand Canal brings huge benefits to the people. As an important bearer of our hydraulic history memory, the canal and its culture will be spread and cherished. Our little painter Yang Yaqi has grown up along the Canal. Since she was a little girl, her grandmother has told her stories about the Canal that was built thousands of years ago. Her love of the Canal has been vividly colored and shaped in the drawing. Now as she is learning the most advanced knowledge at school, she imagines to apply those technologies to the water, to create a brighter future for it and our people.

Water is life! When we do recycling pollute less and help our planet create more clean water, healthier is the land for agriculture and pastures. If we do not recycle ad keep polluting, water will disappear transforming the entire Earth into an authentic desert. I already do recycling and you?

Filling the earth with bottled water

Water, which is important for survival, is at high risk. Global warming, pollution from industries, overuse or wastage of water, etc are some of the main causes for which waterbodies are drying or becoming too polluted for usage. Half of the world's wetlands have disappeared. In my piece of art it is pointed out that due to drying up of water the path the people used to enjoy for shipment and trading is now just a barren land in which there is a little hope that if we stop man made causes of pollution maybe this barren land will be filled with water again. By using the children to portray that just like they are sailing the paper boat in the puddle of water, there is a hope that ships will be sailing one day. So WAKE UP YOUNG GENERATION! to protect our planet and make it a better place.

"Water means life! Through this drawing, I want to draw everyone's attention that water is the most important source of life for all living things. That is why it is very important to keep the water clean, not to pollute it."

Over time, there have been several species of humans on planet Earth. The planet does not need people, but people need it. If one day scientists came up with the idea of changing the name of the planet Earth to another, because it does not have enough identification data, we would be in a big dilemma. Some would choose the name Living Planet, Human Planet or Aqua Planet. The planet Aqua because twothirds of its surface is covered by water, because life appeared in water, because water is life! It is herefore necessary to protect it. Stop water pollution! Otherwise?

These are brief poems children made up in order to describe the “poetry” of water’s element. You can read the poem in English and hear the child’s voice in Italian by clicking the link and then on each drop of water

"Water is for all" and "All are united by water" are the slogans of our work. Water is a precious good for life and the unity of people. The water and the light of people united create the rainbow of peace around and into the world. In our world people live and work in a healthy environment where water is protected. Our work is a collage of colors and hope.

Elegant rivers and mountains in China

The topic I have chosen is biodiversity. The whole picture is composed of three parts. On the top is a desert that lacks water resources. There is a came walking in the desert, surrounded by some green plants and cactus. In the middle part is the water rich ocean, there is a dolphin, many jelly fish, small fish seaweed, they live in the sea free and happy. At the bottom of the picture is the green forest, in the forest lives a large rhino, squirrels, birds and green plants around, forming a harmonious green jungle picture. Hope that the creatures have a beautiful and harmonious living environment.

The Good deeds / To save Water / Let’s anchor them in your head / To always carry out / The good deeds

I really like fairy tales. There is always something beautiful in fairy tales, something less beautiful. So it is on Earth. The Queen of Water has a beautiful part of the dress that is full of life, clean and cheerful, unfortunately she also has an ugly part full of waste. Water is important to us and that is why we have to keep it and pass it on to everyone around us, as my fairy tales that I love have told me.

"All the green, living world depends on the drops of life, the drops of water. There is beauty in my drops. In the green world, drops help animals, help leaves, grass to grow better. They help the rainbow to appear. They help people to be healthy and grow healthy vegetables with the help of water."

While we tend to consider that the only clean and safe water is the one intended for human consumption, we forget that the water of lakes and rivers should also remain clean. What if all the rivers and lakes were as clean as the water we want to drink?

Unfortunately, drinking water is increasingly being sold in plastic bottles, these bottles being a major source of pollution. According to National Geographic, only one of 6 bottles ends up being recycled, the rest ending up on the ocean floor, on the plains, in landfills or in incinerators. For the production of bottles, 30 million barrels of oil are consumed annually.

Water is in constant motion and change. Fresh water is relatively scarce on Earth, only 3% of the total amount of water, it being the most important for the existence of life on Earth. However, freshwater areas are severely affected by habitat modification, fragmentation and destruction, by invasive exotic species, intensive fishing, excessive damming, pollution and climate change. Our students imagined a fairy who gathers in her hair polluted freshwater resources , filltering them through her body and then pouring them onto her unpolluted skirt. Here, the waters’ living things survive in a beautiful
harmony. Around the fairy they drew the activities through which children can contribute in maintaining our waters clean.
