ARTIST IN RESIDENCE 2013-2014
ARTIST & STUDENTS PORTFOLIO
the income is not stable as I was creative director, but my schedule is relatively free and I can practice more on my plan. I really want to do workshop or be an residency artist at school before, so that I am glad that having the invitation by A-school this year. I taught the students from Arts Club, I can see they never used the junk wood and tools in the first lesson, however I found their smiling face with satisfied and passion at the end of lessons. This is what an invaluable harvest for me.

策展語
I started to be a full-time artist 2-year-ago, although
To talk about art education, the most important thing is not making every students to be an artist, but broaden their thinking and value, as well as improving their imagination and ability to accept new things. Through my works and workshop, I hope people could rethink the value of everything Wong Tin Yan 王天仁
and pick up the abilities to create and practice by our hands!
當全職藝術家，是兩年前開始的事，收入雖沒有以前當創作總監般穩 定，但時間安排相對比較自由，能夠實踐的計劃也較多，到學校任教 工作坊或參與駐校藝術活動，更是以前從來沒時間但其實很想參與的 活動。這次，榮幸得到香港浸會大學附屬學校王錦輝中小學的邀請， 參與他們的駐校藝術計劃，能教導藝術學會的同學創作出一隻隻獨一 無異的卡板動物，看著他們由沒接觸過木頭和和各種工具，到一副不 願下課的樣子，當然還有他們滿足的笑容；於我而言，全都是無價的
Wooden Cat
This is a cat made of junk wood. The junk wood is from rubbish, which has been thrown away in markets, fruit stores, wine boxes. We used 3 lessons in total to finish this artwork. Each lesson is about 2 hours.
收穫。
This cartoon cat has black ears, which can turn around. On this cat only its tail is not wooden, it is a rope and we used glue to stick it onto the cat.
藝術教育，重要的不是讓每個學生日後都成為藝術家，而是思維上和
The wood used on this cat has many different colors, some of them are darker, and some of them are lighter.
價值觀上的拓闊，提高對事物的想像和接受能力，而透過我的作品和 工作坊，希望大家對任何事物都能重新思考其價值，並重拾雙手創作 和實踐的能力。
We wanted the cat to keep its wooden old style, so we painted it with black and white paints and we didn’t paint all the parts in order to keep the wooden color.
“Oink! Hello! It’s me! Am I Cute? My scar and my nostrils make me unique!” 7A Cindy, Lin Ka Ching / 7B Cheng Ching Hei
The above sentence is uttered by our little wooden pig. We used wood to create life and a unique personality for our pig. We also wanted to change people’s impression that pigs are stupid, instead pigs rock! They are cute and funny! Hope you like our sexy little pig!

Oink!
The Owl Family
This artwork is about an owl mother and her babies. We made the owl mother into the shape of a box because we think that owls represent wisdom and we want to know what is inside the mother’s head. So, we put some blocks in it to represent wisdom. As for the babies, we know the mother will live with her babies until they grow up and this represents motherly love.

This artwork was made of junk wood. Giraffe is a kind of animal that lives in rainforest. Nowadays, people exploit forests for their own need, but neglect the habitat of the animals. Do they treat animals as if they are junk wood kind of trash (Giraffe is animal can gaze into the distance) I think human should have a long-term of development plan to keep our earth alive such as by reusing materials. Just like we use junk wood and our creativity to produce an outstanding artwork.
Lizard
It is a lizard made of wood. We put some patterns to connect with its original wooden patterns and it also represents the characteristics of lizard.

The pig is traveling around the whole world, and he is taking his luggage with him. His luggage is like Doramon’s
Unicorn Smelly inch pig
In this workshop, I used some wood to make a unicorn. Although this workshop was only for a month, I learnt the skills to make woodwork. It helped me learn different skills for doing my artwork in the future. I am glad that Hong Kong’s famous artist, Wong Tin Yan, could come to our school and teach us his woodwork skills. It was a valuable experience for me.

Our art work is a cat whose tail got stepped on, so the cat looks alarmed with its wide eyes, big tail with its fur rising and curled whiskers. The white tip of the tail and ears are to imitate the fur color of a c at. T he tail of the c at is w ide and has sharp edges that curl slightly, it is to imitate the way a cat’s tail look when they got stepped on, with fur rising and looked alarmed.

Fly
Flies are low grade living creatures. Ever yone hates it; ever ybody thinks they are useless. But flies’ ability to stay alive is as strong as wood and that’s why we use wood to make this artwork. These woods are junk woods, similar to flies, they are both useless in people’s impression. We want to show that junk wood is not a waste and there is a reason for their existence., so we combine the fly and the wood together to symbolize that they are both not useless.

In this A r tist in Residence project, we met an ar tist c a l l e d W o n g T i n Ya n . H e uses junk wood to make his own ar t works. It is a great opportunity for us to learn some skills from him. In these few lessons, we learnt how to use wood crafting tools and different kinds of nails. Also we learnt that there aren’t just single kind of wood, there are various choices. We made a wolf in this workshop and its position is ready to roar. We made good use of the shape of the wood to make its feet, body and mouth. Furthermore, we love the concept of this project as it’s environmentally friendly. We won’t waste a ny p re c i o u s w o o d! Let’s treasure them!

ROAR
Nothing
This is a fox bear. Making a fox bear wasn’t our very first idea. Then we slowly realize that it is very hard. The hands of the fox bear are movable and there is only one eye.
