 On January 31, 2010, CAI with the generous support of the Boston
Consulting Group, brought 35 students, grades 6 and 7, from Dongba
Shiyan School visited the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA).
They toured the exhibition of The Cores: Eight Pivot Images of Chinese
Modern Art at UCCA, located in 798 Art Zone in the Chaoyang District of
Beijing and took part in the workshop Rainbow Journey. The students
were delighted to have this opportunity to experience modern art in
China and were inspired by the exhibited work.
The exhibition showcased eight of China’s contemporary artists who
reflected on city life today. Their works motivated the students to
reflect deeply on their life in Beijing. After the tour, an artist
from UCCA conducted a workshop teaching students to draw their city
life via , traditional Chinese painting with ink and brush. The
students enjoyed paining and had a heat discussion about their dream
city life in Beijing. After a lunch break, the students played a
team-building game that reinforced CAI’s Four Cs.. ,The event
concluded with a journal session where students reflected upon their
experiences of the day. “I was so happy to be part of this tour today. These works were so unique in style and completely new to me! A teacher taught us how to do water painting in a lovely workshop. It was my first time to use brush to paint, and I did a good job! I painted a landscape with mountains and water, because I wish Beijing have its own beautiful mountains and water and become a more wonderful place to live in. I will keep practicing my paining skills after this workshop. I will definitely save this picture after the trip. It was a wonderful wonderful experience!”
