Day camp summary:
4 days of intensive creative practices will be led by local artists through collaboration and communication between participants of different ethnicity. Through training of conceptualization, field trips in the community and collaborative creation, participants will create their own art piece and be put on display in an exhibition in August. The Day Camp includes the following activities :
[if !supportLists]1. Imagination of book
Questioning the concept of reading, we would discuss the definition of a book. Since books are not only words and images, we would adopt the unconventional way of reading, like from left to right, and explore other possibilities of “book-reading”. Participants are encouraged to take a closer look at the book itself and “construct & reconstruct” the structure of books during the 4-day workshops. Through different combinations of body and materials, we are inspired to reinterpret the definition and meaning of a book.
2. [endif]Connecting Kowloon City District
Through a series of creative exercises, participants are encouraged to use objects from our daily lives in different and accessible ways and create artworks by building and enhancing the bonding with the community of Kowloon City district.
3. Artistry workshop
Inspired by participant’s relationship with their family members, participants will be encouraged to express their own stories through oil painting, sculptures, and installation art. The ultimate result will integrate different elements and characters of each and every participant.
