One day when I went to the school library, looking for inspiration for my art project, I happened to find the introduction book for 250 Summer Exhibition Illustrated 2018, which inspired me a lot especially on the art medium and materials, so I come to the Royal Academy to visit the summer exhibition twice, to see what is happening in contemporary art now and how can I use it for my artworks.
It’s my first time to experience tutorial program in U.K. and totally different with China spoon-feeding education model but similar to the previous mentorship programs I had in different organizations. Instead of following the teacher talking about something and students need to write down and recite everything but don’t understand the reasons behind, the tutorial is giving me additional instruction during the process when I do a project and helping me to learn by doing.
The first week at Royal College of Art, we were asked to do a PechaKucha presentation to introduce ourselves and our artworks. I have done lots of presentations to talk about my stories before in different conferences, and have written lots of articles about myself and my artworks too. But it’s my first time to know Pecha Kucha and have only 10 slides to let people know about me, and for each slide I only have 20 seconds.
谢谢你和我一起，用色彩点亮生命
