Heritage education program launched

Introducing students to traditional Vietnamese decorative motifs from the Nguyen Dynasty

Participants in this program will learn about traditional decorative patterns in the citadel and practice watercolor painting techniques. They will receive instructions on traditional drawing techniques, an introduction to coloring methods and their applications, and explore the traditional motifs at the guarding screen wall and main gate of Phung Tien Temple… During the activity, children can choose printed motif designs on A3 paper and experience coloring them using professional watercolors and brushes at the project's office within Phung Tien Temple.

Participants in “Hue Art Memory Game” will explore the meanings of the motifs, as well as study, and search for those used at Phung Tien Temple.
