Joy of Art: Inspired by Irene Chou
Irene Chou began as “Sunday painter”, a leisurely activity beyond the chores of a housewife. Like many people, she experienced frustration and disappointment from her daily life. Painting became the channel for her to release her negative emotions. Chou’s paintings are bold, spontaneous, and adventurous. Her emotions and energy are transferred onto her ink and paper.
How would you use art to express your emotion? What kind of joy does Art bring to you? Let’s get inspiration from Chou’s art and create an artwork to express your inner world.

《藝術的喜悅--周綠雲回應展》
繪畫本是周綠雲作為家庭主婦的悠閒活動。和許多人一樣,她對日常生活中感到不快和失望,繪畫遂成為釋放負面情緒的渠道。周綠雲的作品大膽、隨性,並富有冒險精神。她把內心的情感和能量轉移到其水墨畫上。
你會如何透過藝術表達自己的情感?藝術帶給你甚麼的快樂?讓我們從周綠雲的藝術吸取靈感,以藝術呈現你的內心世界。
