In last year, illustrator Pat Wong Wing Shan (aka Flyingpig) has used AAA’s research materials on contemporary artists in Hong Kong and Asia to teach Illustration at the Academy of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University. After hosting a series of workshops, she took these teaching experiences as a starting point, and created this Illustration Research Toolkit. This Artist Exercise aims to motivate art students, educators, and young artists alike to use speculative storytelling to rethink the historical accounts, personal stories, and cultural narratives found in our Collections, and to enhance their own skills in illustration and art-making.
