Arts & culture have unlimited potential to deliver meaningful experiences

GalaxyArt welcomed a busy Golden Week in October

 

Thousands of visitors have seen our new exhibition “5 a.m.” since its opening on 27th September.  We were particularly busy during the week-long celebration of the National Day during the frist week of October.  We had welcomed tourists as well as local visitors, many of whom found their personal encounters with different paintings in the “engaging” oil painting exhibition by a local artist.  Here is what they told us -

 

”…… A very impressive & diverse collection”

 

”I really like the way (the artist) tells the stories ……”

 

“The questioning of "human" / "people" aspects is very inspiring! ……”

 

By collecting and reviewing visitors’ responses, we can evaluate our programs. Leave us your comments after seeing the exhibition!

October Snapshots

The Clumsy Artist - Children’s Workshop

 

What a busy month in October!  We had successfully delivered 10 sessions of “The Clumsy Artist” Children’s Workshop, where our young participants had some fun and messy time with their hands while creating their unique works using various materials, from paint to craft and recycled papers.  What a loud and happy group that was engaged in our current exhibition filled with vibrant colours.  They left feeling inspired with newly acquired art knowledge.

Oil vs. Acrylic - Looking at the Difference Between Acrylic and Oil Paint (artincontext.org)

Paint can be made in many different types, each has its own strengths and requires different application techniques.

 

Oil │Suspended in oil, it takes a long time to dry. Normally applied on canvases it is more expensive but produces vibrant colours and is a great choice when creating a picture with depth.

 

Acrylic│Thinned with water, it is an economical paint, is easier to use and dries fairly quickly. Thick texture painting can be created by using a palette knife.

 

Watercolour│It is soluble in waterrelatively low cost and suitable for application on water-absorbent surfaces or papers. Glazing or layering technique gives beautiful watercolour works.

 

 As you see, oil, acrylic and watercolour are each inspiring and exciting in their own way!
