Do you celebrate Chinese New Year?
If so, then you are probably fond of the dancing dragons that often appear during festivals. You might also be interested in how these dragons relate to the celebration.
Historians believe that dragons are used during Chinese New Year to scare off evil spirits. Lions are also used, along with loud noises like music and cymbals.
Dragons are magical, mythical creatures. Whether they are real or not doesn’t matter, because their beauty is what captivates most people.

2. Dragon Circular
The artist named this drawing “Dragon Circular,” probably because its body is curled in a circular form. This is how most Asian dragons look. Speaking of which, the next few coloring pages are mostly Asian-inspired.
