I decided to make a calendar for the Children's Day in China(June 1st). Because I think fondly of my childhood. In Malaysia, Children's Day is celebrated on the last Saturday of October annually. In China, Children's Day is celebrated on June 1 and is formally known as "the June 1 International Children's Day". When the People's Republic of China was first established in 1949, the State Council (Cabinet) designated a half-day holiday for all primary schools on June 1. This was later made into a full day's break in 1956 with The Announcement by the State Council to make June 1 Children's Day a One-Day Holiday. Schools usually hold activities such as camping trips or free movies on Children's Day to allow students to have fun, and children of civil servants might also receive small gifts from the government.
Among those examples, I choose this one below:
And this is my sketch:
I made a little girl who looked like a tumbler doll on the left side, I hope my calendar looks childish because it is for the Children's Day. And I add some decorations when I make it , I think it looks better with these decorations.Then I made a little star behind the date 1st because it is for that day. I used green because green always represent life and peace. It means children can have wonderful life in a peaceful world.2. Steps
