Student's creative art pieces selected in overseas competitions
OUHK has jointly organised an exhibition on the art of paper craft with the High Achievers Foundation Limited. The opening ceremony was held on 1 June. Selected works of the students from the advanced paper craft workshop are showcased at the 15-day exhibition held at the OUHK Jockey Club campus.
The exhibition and a series of workshops are sponsored by the Intangible Cultural Heritage Funding Scheme under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. The University recruited 30 participants to join the advanced paper craft workshop, including OU students, alumni and members of the public. In addition to the paper craft technique taught by the craftsman, Assistant Professor Dr Lee Lok-man and Senior Lecturer Ms Lau Man-ying from the School of Arts and Social Sciences also introduced the culture and background of paper craft at the workshop.
Paper craft technique is an intangible cultural heritage in Hong Kong. It plays an important role in traditional festive celebrations and religious rituals. Paper craft products include paper floral tributes, dragons, lions, Chinese unicorns and other paper offerings. The exhibition not only encourages the students of the advanced workshop to further enhance their paper craft technique, it also promotes the traditional Chinese culture and value.
