Curriculum Area
Renowned artist and designer Alan Chan has seamlessly incorporated elements of nature into his work and draws inspiration from everyday life. It is a reminder that art is not confined to traditional mediums, but rather permeates various aspects of our daily life, including nature, cuisine, fashion, and music.
During this workshop, the boundaries between floral art, design, art, photography, and cuisine converge, providing an opportunity to explore the interplay between these different artistic forms. Alan Chan will share his insights to uncover how beauty and creativity can be expressed and appreciated in everyday life. Through hands-on experiences and one-on-one coaching, participants will learn the principles and techniques of flower arrangement and photography. The course fee will include lunch, flower materials and tools, an A3 photo print, and a frame.
The workshop and cuisine experience will be held at CVIEW and CURATOR Masterclass space, which are designed by Alan Chan, along with Hong Kong architect Enoch Hui.
Course Language: Cantonese & English
