李香蘭

RAINBOW LEUNG

香港繪本作家,原名梁曉文。因兒時

收聽香港商業電台廣播劇《好天氣》,

受角色李香蘭的爽朗性格吸引,遂以此名作

為網絡聊天的暱稱,沿用至今。李香蘭畢業

於香港理工大學設計學院和香港城市大學

創意媒體學院,分別主修藝術設計及電影。

李香蘭曾在香港、中國大陸、台灣和法國

等地舉辦展覽,作品曾於《明報》、《星島

學生報》和路訊網的專欄上發表。

李香蘭在沙田下禾輋村長大,對她而言,

鄉村就是她的血脈,與她的藝術創作息息

相關。鄉村的環境開闊、貼近大自然,養成

她率性、隨順、與自然相依共生的秉性和

生活態度。李香蘭筆鋒自由奔放,從不起

稿,擅長以毫不修飾的線條刻畫人物狀態,

細緻微妙地展現筆下人物的外在及精神

面貌。她的繪畫旨在塑造筆下人物不平凡的

質感,以繪畫為媒介,讓人們審視並理解

人物精神世界的真實一面。她表示,畫畫的

樂趣在於「畫完連自己都嚇一跳」。

創作以外,李香蘭亦教授繪畫,她提倡

學生透過寫生認識世界,以繪畫打破人與

人之間的隔閡,讓鄉村、舊區、商埸,

甚至自己的家,都成為學習繪畫的「課室」。

通過創作過程中的細心觀察來了解自己,

建立內心與周遭人、事、物的關係,並且

重新審視生活。 2016 年,她更在石硤尾

賽馬會創意藝術中心開設「李香蘭生活

研究房」繼續授課。

Hong Kong illustrator Rainbow Leung

initially chose the name Lee Heung-lan

as an online alias but the pen name—

inspired by a character from the drama

Good Weather by Commercial Radio

Hong Kong—has stuck with her to this

day. Rainbow studied design studies and

cinematic arts, and graduated from The

Hong Kong Polytechnic University School

of Design and the School of Creative Media

at City University of Hong Kong. Rainbow

has exhibited her works in Hong Kong,

China, Taiwan, and France. She has also

contributed stories and illustrations to

columns in Ming Pao, Sing Tao Education,

and Roadshow.

Rainbow grew up in Ha Wo Che Village.

She describes the village as her flesh

and blood, inseparable from her creative

work. Being brought up in the village is

one of the reason for her carefree, honest

character, and an understanding of living

harmoniously with nature. Rather than

starting with a draft, Rainbow sketches

free-form and is known for honestly

capturing her subject’s essence in an

unequivocal manner. She hopes to depict

the extraordinary quality of her subjects

and considers drawing as a tool for

understanding and examining the authentic

quality and essence that often escapes

our eyes. According to Rainbow, the

joy of drawing lies in the ‘surprises you

encounter’ after you complete the work.

Besides working on her own work, she

also teaches drawing. She encourages

students to learn about the world

through sketching, and uses painting

as a way to break down the barriers

between people. She wants young people

to view all places—including villages, old

neighbourhoods, shopping malls, and

even one’s own home—as ‘classrooms’.

Through detailed observation of

the creative experience, people can

better understand themselves, build

relationships, and review their lives.

In 2016, she set up her teaching studio,

Rainbow Leung’s Discovery Base, at the

Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre.

作品介紹

ABOUT HER WORKS

2009年,李香蘭有感成長地的事物

流逝,決定透過繪本記述老鄉村的美麗與

哀愁,因而創作並出版了首部圖文繪本

《上 ‧下禾輋》。創作的過程中,她嘗試了解

每天相遇但不相識的鄰居的生活故事,

從而重新認識自己成長的地方。對李香蘭

而言,擱筆從不等於完成畫作,她與繪畫

對象在繪畫過程中透過對話所建立的關係,

才是真正讓作品圓滿的關鍵。

《上‧下禾輋》

SHA HA WO CHE VILLAGE

In 2009, Rainbow debuted her

first book, Sha Ha Wo Che Village, as a

response to the gradual disappearance

of her childhood landscape due to urban

development. The book documents

the beauty and sorrows of the old village

and in the process of creating it,

Rainbow got a chance to interact with the

neighbours she was never acquainted

with and re-connected with the place she

grew up in. For Rainbow, a drawing never

ends when the pen is dropped; what

completes a work is the relationships

between the artist and his or

her subjects, and these relationships

are built through processes and

conversations.

ABOUT HER WORKS

李香蘭相信每個人都有不平凡的一面,

她尋訪香港市民的足跡,深入了解他們的

故事,她與朋友貝貝於 2012年結集出版

《尋人啟事上 ‧下冊》。李香蘭讓畫紙成為

一面鏡,折射被畫的人也許未曾發現的

「某個自己」。每幅繪畫風格各異,凸顯每個

人最珍貴的獨特性。在這本書中,她也藉

扭曲的人物畫像來挑戰傳統美學,重新定

義美與醜。對於李香蘭來説,作品的意義

並不在於美醜,因為人與人之間以真實面目

坦誠相待,遠比虛偽的諂媚附和更為珍貴。

《尋人啟事上‧下冊》

HONG KONG CITIZEN DICTIONARY

Rainbow believes that everyone

has an extraordinary side. In 2012,

Rainbow and her friend, Bui Bui, compiled

the stories of people in Hong Kong and

published the two-part book, Hong Kong

Citizen Dictionary. The book features

unassuming characters that are never

in the public spotlight. She turned her

canvas into a mirror that reflected various

facets even the characters themselves

may not have discovered. She used

a disparate drawing style for each

character to showcase the precious

individuality of every person.

The contorted portraits featured in the

volume also challenge conventional

aesthetics by redefining common

standards of beauty and ugliness.

For Rainbow, the meaning of a work does

not lie in whether or not it is beautiful.

Instead, the genuine connection

established between individuals is much

more important than the illusion that is

created in the act to please.

《天下無雙》

ONE OF A KIND

香港繪本作家李香蘭的裝置作品《天下

無雙》通過追憶校園時光,審視當年的自己,

思考成長的經歷。她希望透過作品,不僅

讓學生了解她的人生歷程,同時也在此過程

中,讓學生發掘自己獨有的一面。

這部作品蘊含了深刻影響李香蘭成長的

一些元素。李香蘭通過展現不同植物、描繪

野草在「 M+ 敢探號」的縫隙中生長等手法,

表現大自然生生不息的韌性。對李香蘭

來説,植物和野草代表休息和放鬆,是生命

中不可或缺的元素。

動物簡單率真的生活方式亦是李香蘭

繪畫的靈感來源。「 M+ 敢探號」上放了她

的寵物狗以撒和「貓仙人」的造型雕像,

此貓源於李香蘭在馬屎埔創作的一幅壁畫,

該村因為城市發展而面臨清拆。以撒象徵

生命中的愛和關懷,支持着李香蘭和她的

創作,而貓則代表着她關注的議題。

觀眾還會看到在「 M+ 敢探號」外地上蜿蜒

盤踞的大蛇和狗糞便外形的坐墊,蛇象徵

內在的恐懼以及挑戰自我、突破界限的

渴求。糞便代表着人生中令人討厭卻往往

被放大、不完美的東西和缺陷。

在《天下無雙》中,她仿照自己的工作室,

把「M+ 敢探號」變成一個讓人創作和休憩

的空間:有桌子供人一邊喝茶一邊輕鬆閱讀,

牆上滿是她坦率直白的繪畫作品,記錄了她

的寫生趣事。李香蘭通過作品提醒人們

要細味生活,體會一草一木的情趣;放慢

腳步,建立與萬物的連結,拓寬認知,感恩

並尊重生命。

展覽空間還盛載着參與學生的作品,

這些都是李香蘭在不同學校跟學生進行活動

期間所累積的創作成果。活動透過藝術家

創作的棋盤遊戲和交換故事的形式,邀請

同學在過程中分享他們個人關注的、喜愛的、

恐懼的和自覺不完美的東西。過程中,

李香蘭亦鼓勵學生放空心靈、放鬆,然後

觀察,再以繪畫建立關係。李香蘭希望他們

能重燃熱情和好奇,由此發掘更多生活中的

故事和可能。我們每個人都是天下無雙,

她希望這些體驗可以鼓勵學生坦誠地與自己

對話,並重新與自然和社會連結。

In One of A Kind, Hong Kong illustrator

Rainbow Leung recounts memories of

her school years to look at her previous

self and reflect on her experiences while

growing up. Through the work, she invites

students to learn about her life and, in

doing so, encourages them to discover

their own individuality.

The installation is composed of

elements Rainbow considers important

to her upbringing and her life. As a way

to depict the unfaltering life in nature,

Rainbow features different plants in

One of A Kind and creates sketches of

wild grass that appear to grow through the

cracks of M+ Rover. To Rainbow, the plants

and wild grass represents the crucial

elements of rest and relax in life.

Rainbow also draws inspiration from

animals and their and honest approach

to living. On M+ Rover, Rainbow placed

two sculptures: her pet dog Isaac and a

guardian cat she once painted as a mural

at Ma Shi Po—a local village that is facing

demolition due to urban development.

Isaac represents the presence of love and

generosity in life, which supports Rainbow

and her creative works. The guardian cat

stands for issues she is concerned about.

Visitors will also find a huge snake twirling

on the ground outside M+ Rover and seating

with a shape that allures to dog turd. Snakes

symbolise Rainbow’s innate sense of

fear and her desire to always challenge

herself and push her own boundaries.

The dog turd represents the flaws and

imperfections in life that people dislike

but are often magnified.

For One of A Kind, she models after her

studio space and transforms the interior

of M+ Rover into a space for people to

create, rest and relax. There are tables set

up for people to enjoy a cup of tea while

flipping through the light-hearted leisure

readings on the bookshelves. There are

also humorous and honest drawings on

the walls that depict Rainbow’s many

art adventures. Rainbow reminds us to

reflect mindfully on simple, everyday

things, slow down and start making

connections. Not only do this broaden

our perception, we are also reminded of

the importance of gratitude and respect

for life in the process.

The exhibition also includes works

by participating students created from

the activities Rainbow and students play

at different schools. Through a board

game created by Rainbow and exchange

of stories, students are invited to share

things they love, fear, are concerned

about, or deemed imperfect. Students

are encouraged to clear their minds,

relax and observe, and then, to build

relationships through drawing.

She hopes to spark passion and curiosity

in the students despite daily routines

and restraints, and reminds them to seek

out the possibilities and stories that

make up life. Everyone is one of a kind.

Rainbow hopes the experience of the

work will encourage students to have an

honest conversation with themselves and

reconnect with others in nature

and society.

主題一

THEME 1

休息與自然

REST AND NATURE

活動總結:休息是為了實踐更多可能

李香蘭認為城市生活經常強調效率和

結果,使人缺少思考的時間,也迫使人沒有

經過仔細的反思便直接說出結論。凡此

種種,都讓人看世間事物變得粗糙、不在意。

學生被人寄予厚望,因而需要努力

找時間來做他們真正想做的事。有見及此,

李香蘭創造了一個可以讓人放鬆、忘記

日常煩惱、重新連繫內心的地方。例如在

「M+ 敢探號」放置各種植物、傢俱及繪畫

作品,並且提供茶點和讓人躺臥的豆袋

沙發。她認為充分的休息可以使人解放

身心、開拓視野、實踐更多;只要在生活中

放慢腳步,我們便擁有一種開放的心態去

接受新事物及種種可能。

教學目的:

・ 在參與藝術創作過程中,反思日常生活中

的時間與速度。

・ 反思藝術創作的本末主次,以及所需的條件,

重新建立了解自己內心的渠道。

・ 透過建立與大自然環境的連繫,來了解、

欣賞並接受自身的獨特品質。

植物描繪

1. 集中精神觀察綠色植物,專注看綠色。

你可以嘗試輕輕觸摸它們。這個過程也會

讓你的雙眼稍為休息。

2. 找一棵和自己有共性,即你覺得與自己特別

相似的植物,默默在心中跟它對話。

3. 以盲畫的方式把這棵植物畫下來,

即是在不看着畫紙的情況下集中觀望眼前

植物描繪。

4. 仔細記錄和刻畫植物的紋理。

5. 寫下植物的特質,並形容你和它最相似

之處以及你的感受。

李香蘭希望藉此來體現藝術家的生命

不僅在於創造藝術,而是融貫在其生活

方式的點滴之中,在其生活當中的所有選擇

中體現出來⸺比如用甚麼款式的水杯,

在畫室裡放甚麼種類的植物等等。李香蘭

之所以希望學生與自然連繫,是因為她

認為這是她生命中重要的元素之一。

她創造出的綠化空間鼓勵人去放鬆眼睛和

心靈,同時亦提醒我們:大自然的萬事

萬物都是以不可預測的方式生長,每個

生物都是獨一無二、天下無雙。這是鼓勵

人們要活出自我,隨順自然的一個隱喻。

Summary: To rest is to make space for

more possibilities

Rainbow thinks that the urban city

often places its focus on efficiency and

outcomes. People do not have enough

time to think and they tend to rush to

conclusions without thinking through

the process. This results in a coarseness

and carelessness in one’s attitude to the

world at large.

Overloaded with priorities forced

upon them by others, students have

to fight for time to do the things they

like. To counterbalance these pressures,

Rainbow creates a space where

people can relax and forget about the

weariness of their daily lives and thus

get in touch with their inner selves.

For example, on M+ Rover, she placed

different types of plants, fun objects

and paintings, tea and snacks,

and comfortable beanbags for people

to lounge on. She believes that proper

rest can be liberating and allows us

to see and do more. By slowing down,

we create the capacity to be open-

minded and to receive new things and

possibilities.

Rainbow wants to demonstrate how

an artist’s life is not merely about

creating art, but is also closely tied to

one’s lifestyle. This manifests in all the

choices you make—from the cup you use,

to the plants you place in your studio.

Rainbow invites students to connect

with nature because it is an element she

finds crucial to her own life. The green

environment she’s created encourages

Learning Objectives:

・ To reflect on time and speed in our daily lives

as we participate in the creative process.

・ To rethink priorities and the condition of

creating, and reconnect with one’s self.

・ To learn to appreciate and embrace one’s

unique qualities by connecting with nature.

Drawing plants

1. Look at and focus on green plants. You can

try touching the plants gently. This process

will also allow your eyes to rest for a while.

2. Look for a plant that speaks out to you,

a plant that displays qualities you can relate

to. Start a dialogue with it quietly in your heart.

3. Document this plant through the method of

blind drawing—focus only on the subject and

draw it without looking at the paper.

4. Document the texture of the plant in detail.

5. Write down the plant’s unique qualities

and explain why you feel a connection with it.

Describe the most similar features between

you and the plant.

people to rest their eyes and minds,

and it also acts as a reminder that

everything in nature is one of a kind

and grows in unpredictable ways.

It is a metaphor to embrace your unique

self and to go with the flow as you choose

to live life in your own way.

Case Study:

Mankind has long explored different ways

of understanding human personality

through science, astrology and other field.

Popular methods of determining personality

types include the Myers-Briggs Type

Indicator, the Enneagram of Personality,

and horoscopes. Which personalities best

describe you and your friends? Explore this

website where common personality traits

are visualised using simple but effective

graphics: http://2kindsofpeople.tumblr.com/.

What other method can we use to connect

the similarities and differences of our

characters?

Discussion: What does it mean to rest?

Rest and productivity

What does productivity mean to you?

What is the correlation between rest

and productivity? How is rest in an urban

lifestyle different than others? What effect

does rest in nature (such as crop rotation)

has on productivity? What is the purpose

for young people to take a year off in

between studying and working (gap year)?

Being self-aware

What is your state of mind when

you create? How can you be more self-

aware when you create? Think of the

speed at which you are creating. How

patient are you with yourself? Could you

create while resting or taking a break?

Can your creation simply be about the

present and about yourself? Ultimately,

why do you create?

Surrounding and creation

How does the surrounding affect

you when you create? What does your

working environment say about you? Are

there any differences when you work in

a studio, classroom, outdoor, or other

locations? What conditions or settings

work best for you, and what impose

challenges on you? Are there any work

that originates from a surrounding,

or is necessarily site-specific in its

display and creation?

Extended Activities

In-class activity: My personal space

Do a sketch of your room or any other

personal space from memory. Close your

eyes and walk through this space in your

mind. Draw the arrangements and the

details of the items you own. You can

approach this in different ways, such as

by drawing a floorplan from a bird’s eye

view, or by counting the possessions you

use in an order that reflects your daily

routine. What do these items reveal about

you? What are the stories behind them?

Now observe this space and complete

your sketch with further details and share

your additional discoveries. Are there

discrepancies between the two versions?

Did you miss out anything or exaggerate

any details?

Self-directed activity:

The idle wanderer

Roam around aimlessly without a

set purpose. While wandering around,

take notice of your breathing, listen to

your surroundings, and clear your mind.

Experience your surroundings with all your

sense. Note down your feelings and use

these as materials for your next project.

THEME 2

觀察與質感

OBSERVATION AND TEXTURE

活動總結:觀察是為了發現和了解

李香蘭經常分享她與母親的一次聊天,

母親要她形容山野的顏色。她當時馬上回答

是綠色,母親聽後叫她再看清楚。當她再

仔細看時,發現原來大自然有著豐富的色彩。

自此之後,她學會放下預設的觀念,嘗試去

觀察事物的細節。如果你願意用你的五感

去體驗四周,你會在微細處找到驚喜。

觀察不只是觀看。它需要經過了解和

欣賞來觸及事物的本質。對李香蘭來說,

以藝術來記錄對象就好比做偵探一樣:

每一個細節都是一個故事。透過細意觀察,

教學目的:

・ 引導學生透過留心身旁事物,從而在尋常瑣碎

事中發現不平凡之處。

・ 探討觀察、細節及當下的意義。

・ 放下固有的觀念,嘗試用其他角度思考,

從而了解事物的本質。

都市傳說

1. 以個人或小組為單位,選一個人作為跟蹤的

「目標」。

2. 聽聽你的目標與他人的對話,記下對話的

內容。

3. 像偵探一樣嘗試去了解你的目標人物。

寫下你的發現與觀察。

4. 將你收集回來的記錄,加上你的想像,

改編成都市傳說。你也可以用漫畫方式來

表現。想想事件發生的時間、人物及地點。

我們可以發掘出每一處或每個人身上最

有趣的一面。當你放下固有思想,嘗試重新

觀察事物細節的微妙,就會感受到「景由

心造,事在人為」的威力。

李香蘭想要通過繪畫及發掘不同的

質感,來探索和了解自己和世界。靜心觀察

自己和這個世界的連繫,你會發現自己

擁有熱情投入和休息放鬆等不同狀態,

看到個人的喜惡和恐懼如何組成獨特的

自己。對她來說,質感是不同特性的內蘊,

揭示出每個個體與地方的獨特之處。

Objectives:

・ To discover the extraordinary in the

seemingly trivial by being observant.

・ To explore the notions of observation,

details, and the present.

・ To understand the essence of matters by

letting go of one’s preconceptions and

trying to see through another perspective.

Urban tales

1. In groups or on your own, pick a person as

a ‘target’ to follow.

2. Listen to your target as he or she

converses with others and note down these

conversations.

3. Act as if you are a detective trying to

understand your target. Write notes of your

findings and observations.

4. With your imagination, use the notes

you’ve collected to write urban tales.

You can present these as comics. Think of

the time, character, and the location of

the incident.

Summary: To observe is to understand

and discover

Rainbow often shares the story of

when her mother asked her to describe

the colour of the mountain. Rainbow

immediately answered that it was green

and her mother made her look carefully

again. When she looked closely again,

she discovered a multitude of colours in

nature. Since then, Rainbow learnt to put

away her preconceptions and to truly

observe the details of everything. If

you allow yourself to experience your

surroundings with all your senses, you

will find surprises in the details.

Observation is more than the act

of seeing; it requires a process of

understanding and appreciation that

leads one to the heart and soul of any

matter. For Rainbow, documenting her

subjects through her art is similar to

being a detective—every detail tells a

story. Through attentive observation,

one can discover the most interesting

and fun sides of any place or person.

When you remove all previous

assumptions and try to observe the

details that forms the essence of matters,

you will be able to experience how ‘when

the heart is present, there is a vista;

when there is will, there is a way’.

Rainbow wants to explore and

understand one’s self and the world

by drawing and discovering different

textures. Quietly observe yourself and

how you connect with this world, you

will realise you have different states

of being, ranging from being engaged

and passionate to that of resting and

relaxing. You will understand how your

likes, dislikes and fear form your unique

self. Rainbow sees multiple layers in

the notion of texture of a person or a

place. For her, texture is the essence of

character that reveals the uniqueness

of every individual or place.

Teachers can lead the student discussion or creation with the following entry points and extended activities:

個案討論:

轉變角度令觀點有所改變,這類手法在不同領域

都有應用。例如文學中的第一人稱敘事、電子

遊戲中的虛擬人物視角或影視作品中的主觀

鏡頭。最近,《寵物小精靈 GO》等頗受爭議的

實境遊戲一度熱潮,再一次令人反思觀點

角度的轉變如何加強人對世界的體驗。討論

一下其好處和壞處。思考觀點角度的轉變令人

與真實世界的聯繫更加密切,還是更加疏離?

討論:觀察的意義是甚麼?

觀察的方法

有甚麼不同的觀察方法?你能否以各種

感官去觀察、了解,以及感知世界?透過

這些不同的觀察方法,你是否發現同一對象

的不同內涵?你如何界定你觀察的準確性

或真實性?

探索質感

「一個人的質感」對你來說有甚麼意思?

想像你要繪畫一幅肖像畫,你會如何描繪

一個人的性格和形象?肖像畫是否只包括

被繪畫者的形象?還是可加上其他意象?

你會在甚麼地方找出他的特質,從而聯想出

他的獨特性格?你會不會去觀察他說話的

方式、態度或喜惡?你會否考慮到一個人的

風格、品味、選擇及癖好,或是那人的

一顰一笑?同樣地,一個地方的質感,或是

特質,又是甚麼?

作品的主題

你會如何決定一件藝術作品的主題?

主題是否一定要宏大?你可否從日常瑣碎的

事物中找到非凡之處?甚麼才是「值得」的藝

術創作對象或主題?而準則是什麼,是誰來

決定這些準則?試用不同的例子來討論。

延伸活動

課堂活動:放大質感

如何從貼近看一件事物來發現更多

細節?找一件物件,詳細畫出它的局部表面。

邀請其他人去猜猜這是甚麼東西。分享並

討論在此過程中的發現及感悟。

自主活動:給自己一個角色

幻想一個故事情節並為自己設計一個

角色,從中發現尋常事物中的新意。例如

當你畫一幅靜物寫生時,你可以幻想自己是

一個正在破奇案的偵探,又或是一個想要為

新食譜找食材的大廚。又或者,當你描繪

街景或風景時,你可以想像自己是個在

老地方見朋友的退休人士,又或是一隻在找

主人的迷失小狗。與朋友一起動腦筋多想

幾個場景出來,一起分享意念及故事。

Case Study:

Shifting one’s point of view to create new

perspective is a device that is employed in

many fields. Common examples include the

use of first-person narration in literature,

avatar-based video games, and the use of

point-of-view shots in films and television.

The recent phenomenon of augmented

reality games such as Pokémon Go pose new

questions as to how a change of perspective

enhances one’s experience. Discuss the

advantages and disadvantages. Does the

change in perspective help to better connect

people with the real world or does it have a

reversal effect?

Discussion: What does it mean to rest?

Ways to observe

What are some different ways

of observation? Can you observe,

understand, and perceive with your

different senses? Through these

observations, do you discover different

qualities about the same subject?

How do you define the accuracy or

truthfulness in your observations?

Exploring texture

What does the ‘texture of a person’

mean to you? Imagine you are working

on a portrait, how do you build a profile

of a person? Does a portrait only

includes the image of the seater?

Can a portrait include other imagery?

Imagine you are trying to understand the

subject of a portrait. Where do you look

for the qualities that formulate a person’s

unique character? Do you look at his or

her manner of speech, demeanour, or

their likes and dislikes? Do you consider

a person’s style and tastes, choices and

quirks, or how he or she cries or laughs?

Similarly, what is the texture—or

quality—of a place?

Subject of a work

How do you decide on the subject of

an artwork? Does it have to be grand and

heroic? Can you see the extraordinary

in the trivial and banal? What is

considered ‘worthy’ as a subject? What

are the criteria and who determines

these? Discuss with different examples.

Extended Activities

In-class activity:

Zooming in on texture

How can you see more on a smaller

scale? Find an object and only draw its

surface in detail. Ask others to guess

what the object is. Share and discuss

what you discover in the process.

Self-directed activity:

Give yourself a role

Discover something new about a

familiar item or subject by imagining

a storyline and designing a character

or position for yourself. For example,

when you are drawing a still life, you can

imagine yourself as a detective solving

a crime, or a chef looking for ingredients

for a new recipe. Alternatively, if you are

sketching a street scene or landscape,

you might imagine yourself as a retiree at

your daily hangout spot with your friends,

or as a lost puppy looking for its owner.

Brainstorm more scenarios with your

friends and exchange ideas and stories.

主題三

THEME 3

繪畫與連繫

DRAW AND ENGAGE

活動總結:繪畫為了連繫和連結

李香蘭在她的作品中嘗試捕捉人或地

方的真實本質,對她來說,真就是美,而不

是在唯美但華而不實。正因如此,她從不

掩飾創作對象的瑕疵,也不介意添加一些

個人的演繹。她的人像插畫透過真實具像

的描繪,將肖像主角荒誕奇妙的一面捕捉

下來,誠實、直白地記錄了她的觀感。

畫人像時,她常描繪人物的動態,她認為

捕捉一剎流動的瞬間比刻意定格更重要:

人會呼吸和活動,描繪他們的時候也就不

用避開記下他們動感的一面。

李香蘭不單靠外形去捕捉筆下人物的

本質和真實面貌。她在描繪對象之前會先去

認識他們。對她來說,投放時間去繪畫是

一種尊重,而在這過程當中,更能建立關係。

教學目的:

・ 明白缺陷與不完美之中的美麗。

・ 以繪畫作為連繫及建立關係的方法。

美與真實的探索

1. 按大衆的口味或一般人認為美的準則,

又或是普遍認為討好悅目的風格來畫一個

地方或一個人。

2.根據你實際所見或經過細心觀察來畫

同一物象的另一個版本,可一一記錄人物

景象在你繪圖期間的變化。

3. 把這兩個版本給其他人看,討論一下哪個

版本比較美麗。

繪畫在於了解每個人最真實的一面, 學會

接受和包容不完美和缺陷,對自己、對他人

如是。這過程比畫作本身更重要,因為

繪畫就是去連繫、連結。她工作室的牆上寫

着豐子愷的一句話:「練畫不是練手腕,

是練心靈的。」她亦相信最美麗的創作存在於

自然和生命之中,而創作的最佳方法,

便是透過認真的觀察去欣賞自己和身邊的

一切。因此,繪畫不着重目的,應在乎過程。

Objectives:

・ To understand the beauty in

imperfections and flaws.

・ To use drawing as a way to engage and

build relationships.

Exploring beauty and reality

1. Draw a place or a person according to the

popular taste or standard notions of

beauty, or in a manner that is commonly

thought of as being pleasant to the eye.

2. Draw another version of the same subject

in honest accordance to what you actually

see and observe, gradually record any

changes in the period of time as you draw.

3. Show your two drawings to the others and

discuss which version is more beautiful. Summary: To draw is to engage

and connect

Rainbow strives to capture the

real essence of a person or a place in

her works because she believes that

beauty lies in the authentic, rather than

in a pretty yet falsified image. Due to

this belief, she never shies away from

drawing the minor details or imperfections

of her subjects, nor is she reluctant

to add her own interpretations of her

subjects. A combination of fantastical

and realistic portrayal of her subjects, her

drawings document her impressions and

encounters in an honest and candid

manner. When sketching people, she

often includes their movements because

she thinks it is more important to create a

realistic representation rather than

a frozen frame. To Rainbow, people are

living, breathing, and moving, there is

no reason to avoid movements in our

depiction of them.

The essence and authenticity of

a subject are not captured by simply

recreating one’s physical likeness.

Rainbow depicts her subjects by first

getting to know them. For her, devoting

time to draw is a form of respect, and in

the process, relationships are formed.

Drawing is a way to understand the true

side of a person, and learn to accept

and embrace the imperfections and

flaws—this goes for both one’s self and

others. The process is more important

than the end creation because to draw is

to engage and connect. Written on the

wall of her studio is the words of Feng

Zikai, ‘The practice of drawing is not a

training of technique, but a training of the

heart and soul.’ Rainbow also believes

that the most beautiful creations exist in

nature and life. Therefore, the best way to

create is to simply open up our eyes and

appreciate all that surrounds us. To draw

is thus a means and not an end.

Teachers can lead the student discussion or creation with the following entry points and extended activities:

個案討論:

VanGoYourself計劃由一家英國獨立藝術慈善

組織發起邀請人們重現經典名作的場面。

登上http://vangoyourself.com/瀏覽他人的

作品。看看這些再創作與原作有甚麼分別?你

亦可試試看,運用你自己的創作,探討肖像畫

中的美、寫實、模仿及真實等主題。

討論:繪畫的意義是甚麼?

對象與連繫

與對象連繫指的是甚麼意思?在創作的

過程中,你會如何與對象創造連結或者

保持距離?試形容你與你創作對象之間的

關係。你與對象的距離如何?不同的距離

如何影響你的創作過程及成果?

關於寫實

真實與寫實是甚麼?在藝術上做到像真

是甚麼意思?你會如何嘗試做到?甚麼

時候在藝術上像真是必須,而甚麼時候沒

那麼重要?相似、寫實和真實之間的區別是

甚麼?當你創作的時候,哪個更重要?

探索美的特質

甚麼是美?甚麼是美的特質?這些特質

是否隨時間與環境改變?美是相對的,還是

醜的絕對反義?界定美醜的準則有多主觀?

在不假矯飾的樸實之中有沒有美?醜陋之

中有沒有美?忠誠表達社會上一些黑暗面

或禁忌又是否一種美?

延伸活動

課堂活動:美的拼湊

在雜誌和報紙中找出並剪下代表這個

時代普遍認為美的圖片。討論甚麼界定了

這個美之為物,之後再用你個人覺得美的

圖片做個拼湊圖集。這些圖片不限題材,

可以是一張照片、一個單字、一個圖案、

一道色彩。和朋友分享你眼中的美麗事物。

自主活動:為別人拍照

在你朋友不經意的時候拍下他們的照片,

之後再要求他們擺好姿態多拍一張。把這兩

張相並排比較。形容照片捕捉到的特質和

情態。哪一張照片更能觸動你和你的朋友?

你可以在聚會或其他場合去做這活動。

Discussion: What does it mean to draw?

Subject and connection

What does it mean to connect

with a subject? How would you create

connections or maintain distance in

the process of creation? Describe the

relationship between you and the subject

of your work of art. What is the level of

distance between you and the subject?

How do the different levels affect your

process and the final work?

On likeness

What is authenticity and realism?

What does it mean to achieve likeness

in art? How would you try to achieve

this? When would it be necessary to

create likeness in art and when is it less

important? What are the differences

between likenesses, realism, and

authenticity? Which is more important to

you when you create?

Exploring qualities of beauty

What is beauty? What are the qualities

that define beauty? Do they change

according to time and context?

Is it relative, and does it exist in

opposition to the existence of ugliness?

How subjective are the standards that

define what is beautiful and what is

not? Is there beauty in candidacy

and plainness? Is there beauty in

ugliness? Is there beauty in an honest

representation of vices and taboos

within society?

Case Study:

Run by an independent art charity in the

UK, VanGoYourself is a project that invites

you to become part of some of the world’s

most famous works of art. Using yourself or

your friends as subjects, you can recreate

scenes from iconic masterpiece paintings.

Take a look at the works by others here:

http://vangoyourself.com/. How does each

recreation compare to the original? Try it

yourself and use your new creation as a

way to explore notions of beauty, realism,

imitation, and authenticity in portraitures.

Extended Activities

In-class activity: Collages of beauty

Look through magazines and

newspapers and cut out images that

represent the norms of beauty of our time.

Discuss what define such beauty and then

create a collage with images that appeal

to you personally. These can be anything

from a snapshot to a word, a pattern or

a colour. Share what you find beautiful in

your eyes with your friends.

Self-directed activity:

Photographing others

Capture a photo of your friends when

they are unaware and then ask them to

pose for another picture. Put these two

photos side-by-side for comparison.

Describe the qualities and emotions these

images captured. Which photo appeals and

resonates more with you and your friends?

You can do this activity during gatherings or

other occasions.
