Chinese art with Helen

During the Summer Art Club we have had a very special guest. Her name is Helen and every summer she comes all the way from China with her mother for a holiday. She spends some time in the Studio and has some art lessons. In China she also goes to an art school. This year she and her class mates made some very special Chinese art for us! Crunchy paper art, art made with shoe polish and interesting collages and screen prints. We will be trying these new techniques out in the next season! Here are the examples all the way from China. Thank you very much Helen and class mates!

Deze zomer is er een bijzonder meisje, Helen, op de Zomer Kunst Club geweest. Ze komt elke zomer helemaal van uit China met haar moeder naar Nederland op vakantie en komt een paar weken op les. In China zit ze ook op een tekenschool. Dit jaar hebben zij en haar klasgenoten hele speciale kunstwerken in Chinese stijl gemaakt voor ons! Hele aparte papier kreukkunst, kunst met schoenenpoets en bijzondere collages en drukwerken! In het nieuwe seizoen gaan we deze bijzondere technieken ook uitproberen. Zie hier de kunstwerken van de kinderen uit China.

  1. Hello! Thank you so much for sharing this one. You have such an awesome post! I'll be looking forward for your other posts as well. Keep it up! This blog could really help me out with my business. Anyway, all of the designs are really one-of-a-kind and it really is worth its price. This is definitely going to be a hit for Asian art lovers. Wow! This is cool. Chinese ritual bronzes from the Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties come from a period of over a thousand years from c. 1500, and have exerted a continuing influence over Chinese art. They are cast with complex patterned and zoomorphic decoration, but avoid the human figure, unlike the huge figures only recently discovered at Sanxingdui. The spectacular Terracotta Army was assembled for the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China from 221–210 BCE, as a grand imperial version of the figures long placed in tombs to enable the deceased to enjoy the same lifestyle in the afterlife as when alive, replacing actual sacrifices of very early periods. Smaller figures in pottery or wood were placed in tombs for many centuries afterwards, reaching a peak of quality in the Tang Dynasty. Another important collection hails from the estate of Charles Rose Thompson in Westfield, New Jersey. Thompson’s father, Henry Rose Thompson, an importer of Asian art and antiques and co-founder of Bollentin and Thompson Oriental Rugs, acquired the artifacts during several round-the-world trips prior to and after World War I between 1900 and 1920. The items were then left to his son, Charles Rose Thompson, who was also part owner of Bollentin and Thomposn Oriental Rugs. A graduate of Princeton University, Charles lent the extraordinary collection to the Princeton University Art Museum, however the collection has remained in his family’s possession since his death in 1975.
