Keeping a box of colouring pencils and a sketchbook nearby – as artists often do – means we can draw the scenery or sketch the interesting views or objects we encounter along the way when we go out. What kinds of shops are there in your neighbourhood? Try and draw your favourite shops and then introduce them to your family and friends!

Make Your Own Sketch

There are a host of Chinese painting and calligraphy works in the HKMoA collection. Access the Museum’s art collection databank (https://hkmasvr.lcsd.gov.hk/hkmacs_data/web/object_web.nsf/home?openform&lang=en). Select “Chinese Painting and Calligraphy” to view the works of many masters. Let’s pick a Chinese ink painting that inspired you and share your draft with us!

Make Your Own Ink Painting

Anything in daily life can be an inspiration to artists.
Come and join Flyingpig, Luis Chan, Zhang Shipei and Lin Fengmian,
four artists from different periods and background, to different places
and discover how they draw and paint the things they ¬find in everyday
life in their unique artistic styles. Are there any objects in these paintings
that you recognise? Let’s see if we can find something interesting!
