To this end, children will choose printed illustrations on A3 drawing paper and then experience coloring them using watercolors and professional paintbrushes.

When participating in the memory game "Hue The Memory Game," children also learn about the meaning of the motifs through this method. In addition, children will work together to research and find the motifs used in the Phung Tien Palace.

The program's activities aim to raise awareness of Hue's cultural heritage, help students practice focus skills, inspire and develop their artistic abilities and creativity through interactive exploration activities.
