The Library Circle was completed with tremendous support from students. In times of pandemic, we were happy to meet you online. Your creative thoughts and opinions all contribute to shaping better library services in the future.

A public lecture, Chinese Painting Scroll ‧ Feitian – Revelation from Dunhuang Murals, is organized by the Department of Art and Design (AAD) at Space for All in the Library.

Ms Jor Yin Fun, Director of White Box Studio and Secretary of White Box Friends, will be the speaker of the Lecture. Ms Jor will share her road of discovery to the art of corn husks and the stories behind shaping numerous figurines in Chinese and foreign style with the material. Her pioneer use of corn husk in modelling Dunhuang Feitian in 2019 will be highlighted as well.

All students and staff are most welcome to join the Lecture. Details are as follows:

The Solo Exhibition by Jor Yin Fun on Chinese Painting Scroll ‧ Feitian – Revelation from Dunhuang Murals will be organized by the Department of Art and Design. Ms Jor was inspired by the Dunhuang Murals during her visit at the site in 2019 and she has drawn the medium from daily life – the corn husk for creation. Being the pioneer in using corn husk to make artwork, Ms Jor also spreads a message of environment conservation by adopting sustainable materials to share her artistic sense. Let’s appreciate the marvellous works and realize the creativity from ordinary materials.

The Library’s first Chinese Penmanship Workshop has been brought to a successful close this January. The valuable contents include pen-grasping, character formation, legibility and pacing which form the fundamentals of beautiful handwriting. Participants have not only acquired practical skills in producing nice and neat handwriting, but also have a taste of art behind penmanship.

Creating fine masterpieces with effort brings accomplishment. The skills can be taken further with abundant digital resources from the Library. Let’s keep on practicing and enjoy the touch with art through writing.
