Class of: 2028
Major: Fashion Design BFA
Medium: Hand drawing/ illustrator rendering
Faculty: Diana Shpunhin
Prompt: Employing unique mark making techniques, students create an invented past and present landscape or portrait in two (or more) parts: half hand drawn in ink / half digitally rendered in Illustrator, with the goal of the hand mimicking the digital method and vice versa.
This work is about the state of a Chinese school that experienced the earthquake before and after the earthquake. The pre-earthquake part on the left is composed by illustrator through cross-shaped symbols, and on the right, I draw the ruins of the school after the earthquake with hand-drawn cross-shaped symbols. It expresses the collapse of the Chinese education system that I have experienced.
