The exhibition is organized into four sections, each highlighting how young artists express their unique perspectives and imaginations. Through the use of colors and lines, children document moments of growth and express their affection for family, friends, and nature. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and virtual reality are integrated into their works, offering a glimpse into their visions of future societies and the universe.

In conjunction with the exhibition, the 4th International (Shanghai) Children's Aesthetic Education Conference was held on July 25, bringing together experts from around the world to discuss the evolution of aesthetic education in the age of technological advancements.
