I would not have learnt that there was an Art Specialist Course if I had not been working near the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre.
This is already the seventh run of the Art Specialist Course which is specially designed for art lovers who are eager for seeking specialized training and development in art. It covers a wide range of art forms, including Painting, Printmaking, and Sculpture. But I wonder how many people really have heard of this.
Some people say that Hong Kong is a cultural desert, most people here lack the ability and patience to appreciate art and culture. One of the major reasons for that is the insufficiency of art promotion and education. Thus, instead of investing so much on developing a brand new art and cultural district, I think the government should gather all the existing resources and reinforce the network among individual artists and art organisations.
To be honest, the concept of some exhibits are not quite well developed, materiality is considered but not fully utilised to form an impressive work. If more space is available and the scale of some works is enlarged, I think the overall impact will be greater. For example, the last two pictures which shows some digital clouds, if there are more clouds occupying an entire room and the printed pictures are magnified to form some kind of wallpaper, then the sense of virtual reality will be stronger.
