The Forest 100cm x 80cm Oil and yarn on canvas Regina Xu Grade 12 2018 Females usually have many thoughts in their hearts but won't say them out or show them directly, so people cannot understand them. My lovely forest represents females because women are like the trees and vines in the forest. People cannot easily see through to their center and heart. In Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde (La Bonne-Mère) MarseillesI, Paul Signac used the color points to make the artwork. So I use the basic element lines to build a forest that is very thick. Tie Up 40cm × 26cm Digital photography Regina Xu Grade 12 2018 People intend to hide the truths about themselves in the face of others, for reasons that are often positive, but tie themselves up. The colored flowers are chrysanthemums which show truth. This muzzle protects the self and also protects others. Self-Portrait 40 cm x 50 cm Oil on canvas Sophia Zhang Grade 11 2017 Midnight II Oil on canvas 120cm x 150cm Sophia Zhang Grade 12 2018 Midnight II is more immersive because of its size and because of its extra exaggerated texture with impasto layers of small brush strokes transforming into large and thicker strokes made with the pallet knife to show the gradual disappearance of light. People can be more immersed in the painting because of its size and more immersed in my process by seeing both Midnight I and Midnight II together as they are placed in my exhibit. Hide and Seek, part of the The Nature of Aloneness series Oil on canvas, fabric 60cm x 80cm Karmen Guo Grade 12 2017 Aloneness is a paradox of humanity. People want to resonate with others, yet people need privacy. The artwork is an interactive artwork. Viewers are invited to move the curtain. This arrangement makes viewer’s action to be part of the artwork. The style of the artwork is influenced by Sanyu’s combination of the use of Chinese classical poetic format (a special combination of stillness with action) and the human figure, also incorporating classical Chinese use of graceful curve and light value. Cages 70cm x 90cm Oil on canvas, modeling paste Bing Ke Doris Liu Grade 12 2016 A cage that can make you suffocated but also can be broken by your one finger touch. This is a type of self-imposed self-abasement common to humanity. It is created by ourselves around ourselves. As with the previous two works, the use of the wrapped object as a strategy for expression is inspired by the work of Georges Jeanclos. The concept of self-imposed self-abasement is informed by Alfred Alder's book "What Life Should Mean to You". Grey Space 25cm × 25cm × 30cm Acrylic plates and display box manufactured by Aolis Co. Lannie Lan Grade 12 2019 Bleeding ink is considered as an error in Chinese Calligraphy. However, I believe error is not only destructive and ugly but constructive and beautiful. I show bleeding ink can add an extra layer of expression to the calligraphy which adds beauty. As more plates overlap, the more gray and beautiful it becomes which alludes to the co-existence of error and rightness. The circle shape looks like “Yingyang” which emphasize coexistence between two extremes.
