Soap, plants, candy wrapper, even a toothbrush – there is more than meets the eye with these everyday objects if you can them from various perspectives. Look through an aesthetic viewpoint and discover wonder in these ‘boring’ items! 

Using drawing and painting tools in combination with cardboard, bubble wrap and corrugated board, children will:  

- Learn still-life and observational drawing techniques (i.e. blind drawing of still-life objects and watercolour painting) 

- Practise one-line drawing and drawing overlapping objects  

- Explore collage and assemblage, the fundamental forms of contemporary expression 

- Be introduced to composition, light, dark shades and cast shadow whilst creating a paper still-life 

Register for this course and find wonder in the everyday by seeing through an artist’s eyes! 

Tutor 

Virginia Lo   

With a major in painting, Virginia graduated from the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) and Master of Fine Art programmes jointly presented by Hong Kong Art School and the RMIT University. Prior to that, she learned landscape painting under the tutelage of Chinese painting masters Mr Liang Boyu and Mr Luo Zushan. She further studied character-painting with painting master Luo Guanxi. Virginia is currently a part-time lecturer at the Hong Kong Art School.    

With painting being her primary medium, she explores her relationships and feelings with different places through landscape art. She incorporates whimsical and quirky characters, infusing the scenery with a mysterious and imaginative presence that piques curiosity.  

Virginia’s solo exhibitions include Throbbing Soul (2023), Shangri-La (2022) and A Place is Telling Its Story (2017). She has also exhibited as part of a group in Lasting Impressions (2023) and Hong Kong Art School 20th Anniversary Exhibition, XX (2019). Another achievement has been planning and executing the painting course in Precious Moment – Community Art Education Project (2020), where group exhibitions were facilitated after each painting course.  Virginia has further participated in the K11 Kollection Lab programme (2016 & 2019), conducting art workshops and art tours for children.
