In Touch with Hong Kong Artists: Au Yeung Nai-chim
Resource Kit Overview
Drawing and sketching are the fundamentals of art study. Yet, with the popularisation of photography today, photos have become a major resource for artistic creation, rendering outdoor sketching a minority activity. Since the 50s, Au Yeung Nai-chim has been using different media, such as watercolour, oil paint, pencil and pen, to sketch the many facets of Hong Kong at different periods of time. His works have recorded the historical development of the society, as well as the transformation of the city’s people, communities and affairs. Au Yeung’s works are realistically rendered with precise touch, articulating the fragility of human warmth.
This resource kit aims to enhance the students’ ability to observe the landscape and use a pencil to create a sketch, while learning the master’s way of sketching and painting.
