Resource Kit Overview

Geometric shapes are fundamental elements of art. They can come together as patterns or as a tool for plotting the composition, conveying the rational side of artistic expression. The circles in Hon Chi-fun’s works are different, as they are used to express the rich emotions of the artist. Whether he used full circles, partial arcs, or three-dimensional spheres, Hon was able to use acrylic paint to create a multitude of effects, infusing his works with different visual space and ambience, and conveying a wide range of emotions and ideas.

This resource kit aims to encourage the students to explore the possibilities of expressing “self” using abstract circles. Employing different techniques including color gradation, color mixing and airbrushing, students express their personal emotions through different colors.
