Expression Through Art: Students at Dulwich College Beijing Express Themselves Through Art

Year 11 Agatha Z

Abstract representation of emotion

The watercolour is of the sunset passing through a window and reflected onto the wall. The piece is kept minimalistic and concise. The colours used in the piece emits a long-lost feeling, however indescribable.

Year 11 Cathy M

Reminisce

The scene comes from the Beijing opera Peony Pavilion which conveyed the emotions of two lovers when they separated, then found each other again. The tone used on the watercolour is to create and express her emotions.

Year 11 Julia Z

Architecture

The distorted perspective makes the usually firm medieval wooden structures less capable of allowing any household to go inside these buildings. The whole architecturesseem absurd, making them incapable of any proper use.

Year 11 Mylene R

Façade

The piece is based on the theme façade, which incorporates both buildings and the deceptive outward appearance of a person. The mirror represents the inner character of a person which is hidden behind the made-up veneer.

Year 13 Cher X

An Afternoon

My grandma spends a lot of time on the sofa in our living room. One day during quarantine, the colour of her clothing combined with our sofa created a palette that caught my eye, and I decided to capture the scene. Creating work centering around my grandma prompted me to closely observe her in everyday life.

Year 13 Henry K

Acrophobia

This piece represents my consciousness of the near-future crisis. In this piece, I portrayed myself falling from the future transportation – “Drone Taxi” that I imagined. Due to the high demand for roads and an increase in the future population, drones will play a bigger role. However, I believe that such a great design can also be detrimental to our society.

Year 13 Nathan L

The Healing of the Blind

The creation of the internet has gathered all of human knowledge, and collected many varieties of human opinion, regardless of good or bad. The entity formed from the collective entirety of humanity, has reached an almost god-like existence, possessing knowledge that amounts to that of all the people in the world, for greater than any one person in the world could ever possess. And it answers the prayer of anyone who seeks its wisdom, enlightening them and directing them to whatever knowledge or item they may come to desire that is within its realm.
