New Beginnings!
Our First Photography Exhibition
During term two, we joined Through Our Eyes PhotographyProgram.
We had our own exhibition boards to show ourwork in Hong Kong
Cultural Centre. Every student had theirown topic for this
exhibition and my topic was about the BlueHouse in Wan Chai. I used
the Blue House tocreate a photo collage, and I took photos of
itwith other buildings in Hong Kong.
This is a very treasurable experience for me tolearn how to make
a 3D work out of common2D photos. It was a fresh and different
mediafor my audiences and me too.

Darkest Exhibition- Power PlantAfter our exams, we went to
Kowloon Walled City parkto visit an exhibition called Power Plant.
Thisexhibition displayed works of various types
includinginstallations, videos and sounds. Many unique
materialslike snails, fire, light bulbs, filter funnel, lamp
andvacuum cleaners were used to present the differenttypes of art
pieces.In this exhibition, I think that the artwork, DreamVortex
was the most memorable. The Dream Vortexcylinder had flickering
flames rising inside it. Thecylinder spanned as the fire lilted up.
A repeated
rhythms and image was being presented by thisinstallation. I
think the vortex was really amazing as theflames actually moves
itself and it looked as if they weredancing inside the tube.

Experimenting on Video Art
On 27th of March, we have joined the digital art workshop which
was held by the famous digital art artist,Ellen Pau. Through this
program, we learnt about the different types of art video and new
media. We learntthat the definition of art is not very clear as it
overlaps with technology and other different forms. Artnowadays has
various forms and we do need to learn how to identity them. In this
program, we needed tomake a video art which was to create a sound
track by sounds in our daily lives. We learnt how to expressour
feelings by the sounds and support it with images. This was really
good as this was my first time towork on video art. It was exciting
for us to play and explore around the school campus. And we would
liketo join more similar programs in the future.

My C.E. Visual Arts ExperienceIt was a precious experience to
study art in F.5, I learnt how toexpress myself with various
colours, shapes, pattern etc. Withthe one and a half year of
training, I explored myself deeperand wider, which I found that I
am an extremely emotionalperson, and planning never work for me.
So, I learnt to bettermanage my own time, and make better use of my
24 hours.My projects were mainly about happiness and nature, I
suggestpeople in the world to see their surroundings in a
differentperspective, and also treasure what youve got, and to live
itwith glamour. Although I finished my works within the last
fewmonths before the deadline, I really tried my best, and I tried
tomake the world a better place.
