Art Challenge: Lunar New Year

Lunar New Year begins this weekend and will be celebrated by people in different cultures all around the world. Fú (福) is a traditional Chinese symbol that represents good fortune. It is commonly used as a decoration for Lunar New Year. Your challenge for this week is to develop your own symbol of good fortune, peace, prosperity, or another wish for the new year. You can draw or paint a symbol from your imagination or one that is important to your culture. You can find a tutorial about how to make a Chinese paper cutting from the Norton Museum of Art.
