Resource Kit Overview

Drawing can be based on still-life objects or inspired from memory and can be expressed in a figurative or abstract way. Most painters first come up with a topic and then engage in the creative process. This is also a common approach students take to draw.

Hong Kong master painter Luis Chan took a different creative approach. Inspired by traces of monochrome prints, he painted human figures, animals, and even phantoms and monsters, creating a bizarre and fantastic world.

This resource kit aims to introduce the works of Luis Chan and how his paintings were inspired by the traces of monotype prints. It encourages students to think out of the box and create fantastical works.
