Art House Exhibition 22 February - 18 Mars

In art we started a topic a couple weeks ago called ‘Hong Kong Urban Jungle’ where on your canvas you have to have the symbols of Hong Kong and a symbol or picture representing an urban place and a jungle. The first step we did starting this project was develop ideas in our sketch books by thinking of words describing ‘Hong Kong’, ‘Urban’ and ‘Jungle’. When we finally got an idea of what to put on our canvas, we developed a sketch for our ‘master pieces’. Which is when we put the idea on our canvas and started painting. The experience of doing this project was very fun especially knowing that the finished product would go in an exhibition

"Hong Kong: Urban Jungle" is the theme that has been chosen for ART HOUSE 2016. Following multiple research and sketches, including on the same meaning of the word jungle fauna and flora of Hong Kong, our young artists have create rich compositions, with vegetation, colours, filled with buildings, wild animals, hybrids, and often, they borrowed symbols in Chinese culture. They were inspired by the discovery of many artists such as Michael Wolf , Kenzo, Le douanier Rousseau, Fan Ho, Yue Min Jun, with also the street art. From Sixieme to Premiere and from Year 9 to Year 12 classes, hundreds of our students participated in this event which celebrates in first hand their talent and their investment and reflects the importance of arts education.
The exhibition will take place from February 22 to March 18, 2016, with the sale of the paintings of the students in art option, in Seconde, Premiere, Year 10 and Year 12.
