Chuseok is a Korean harvest festival, similar to Thanksgiving. It’s a time when families gather to celebrate the autumn harvest, honor their ancestors, and enjoy traditional foods.
Another name for 추석 is 한가위 (Hangawi), which means the “great middle of autumn.”
During Chuseok, people often think about the 보름달 (Full Moon), as it symbolizes abundance and unity.
This week, HFS students created beautiful artwork related Chuseok.
Students learned about 추석 (Chuseok), one of Korea’s most important holidays, and created their own 문자도 (a traditional Korean art form that uses words and images) using words related to 추석. And we drew full moon and wrote wishes, created Jangseong(장승) which is traditional totem poles.
Also, We created Hanbok design for Chuseok event.
We had a lots of fun time.
I hope all HFS family have a great Chuseok holiday.
