Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China organizes the National Art Exhibition of College Students every three years. It is an art education event open for all university students in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau to participate. Under the theme of “Struggle‧Innovation‧Dedication”, the Sixth National College Student Art Exhibition of this year has four categories, namely art performance, art workshop, artwork and art project.
The University had submitted a number of art pieces made by the creative arts students to the organizer earlier. After review, 14 students won 11 awards in the sessions of film production, photography, design and drawing respectively. The number of awards received was the highest among all universities in Hong Kong. The encouraging result has demonstrated the excellent creative skills and competitiveness of the students. Take the winning pieces of design session as an example, students had integrated the characteristics of Tai O and Pokfulam Village into a range of designs, such as maps, crossword puzzles and postcards, which helped promote the attractions and culture in the districts through a fun and unique method.
In addition, the University was granted the first prize under the category of art project with its Chinese Etiquette Animation Project, which was a partnership programme between the Tin Ka Ping Centre of Chinese culture and the Institute of Chinese Classics of Tsinghua University. Bringing a combination of tradition and creativity to the project, the students had created a series of animations to promote the Confucian classic San Li and Chinese culture. As the only local university receiving the award, the recognition has fully affirmed the efforts of the University in pursing innovative teaching and learning, as well as nurturing creative arts talents.
