During the reception of my art exhibition, Feb 7, 2014, several groups of American friends came into the classroom to try to paint a Chinese painting.
I was so happy when I found the two young people had done a very good job and completed the so wonderful jobs.
On the photo is the work of the young boy.
I do feel his first jobs could be given a quite high mark.
Also, suddenly I had a new feeling about what kind of ages of people are the best suitable to learn the professional Chinese paintings, I mean not only for touching Chinese culture, but or truly to master a part of skills of at least one of Chinese art within a very short time.
After all, as a student who is major in Chinese painting, I have to learn for many years in the art schools even though I had learned many years before I entered the art school. Then, how to help the non-Chinese speakers to know something most important and the core within the shortest time in my travel maybe some topic I must think and explore.
How do you think of their paintings? Do you think they had done a good job?
