A journey through Asian art
- What does Choi Jeong-hwa mean when he says “I am a jjambbong of Asia, a jjambbong of the universe”?
-
Choi Jeong-hwa shows how he uses the Obangsaek system of colours in his work and Kimsooja makes use of traditional cloth and bedspreads to create her moving images. Both talk about the past being potent for today. They talk about how an object can contain memories.
Create a new work that uses found objects from your own culture. What aspects of your culture have you used: colour, design, traditional use? How have you transformed them into a new artwork?
