我们学生的作品又现“红砖”：用艺术为自己说话！

王之韵的展览发生在一个全黑的空间，主要探讨了自然空间、建筑空间，它们之间的交互和它们对人的影响。

雕塑《太极》（T'ai Chi）是王之韵最想分享的作品。王之韵从太极动作中提取出一些形状的元素，形成一个立体的空间构成，本质上在模拟阴阳的图案，展示太极的连贯性和张力。

“近旁的竹子投影在太极上，寓意自然空间和人类构造的空间的互动，至于两者究竟产生了什么样的联系，就仁者见仁，智者见智了。”王之韵说。

互动型装置艺术《树影》(Summer's Memory)是另一件重要作品。灵感是夏天的树影在地上形成的光斑。当观众把点亮的灯泡置于装置侧端，装置里层层切割的亚克力板就会因为灯泡放置的过程，在墙面上投射出动态的光斑，好像夏天里摇曳的树影。

谈到IBDP艺术学习过程带来的最大感受，王之韵说，无论创作还是策展，对她而言都是一个在思想上进行平衡和自洽的过程。

“我原本以为，自己可以在感性和理性之间做到平衡，什么时候理性一些，什么时候感性一些，但最后我发现，这是很难做到的。因为一件作品从创作到落地，会遇到很多因素的影响，环境一直在变，我的作品也在变。现在对我而言，所谓自洽已经变成享受感性与理性的冲突了。”

在王雪晴的空间里，她用绘画、刺绣、丙烯、3D装置、定格动画等多种媒介，进行自我探索和表达。 “我的创作很多从色彩入手，借此表达人物的多面和隐藏的个性。”她说。

她最想分享的两幅作品是两只巨大的眼睛《女性》（Women of Time）和《红》（Red），一只是蓝色的，一只是红色的。王雪晴从大量历史名画上提取了女性眼睛的图片，统一成蓝色，堆塑成眼睛的样子，展示了对这些女性身份的呈现和认同。红色的眼睛由发泡胶塑形，然后用口红涂上具有女性特征、象征力量的红色，是现代女性身份的展现。

“两只眼睛放在一起，是现代与历史的对比，体现了不同时代下女性的处境。”王雪晴说。

“我对世界、周遭环境、很多事情都有各种各样的想法，可是这些想法我不能用话语一一表达清楚。借由艺术，我可以把这些想法展示出来，和大家沟通、分享。所以对我而言，艺术是一种媒介。”莫知安说。

现在，他用艺术表达了自己对“协同”（Synergy）这个主题的理解：“协同”的意思是，由若干个体组成的整体的结果要比单一个体的更重要，也就是说，个体们团结在一起是更重要，也更有力量的。

Lucy Wang's showcase takes place in a completely black space. It mainly explores natural space, architectural space, the interaction between them, and their impact on people.

Lucy Wang is most eager to share the sculpture T'ai Chi with visitors. It explores the trajectory of T'ai Chi movements. Lucy extracts certain shape elements from these movements and places them in a three-dimensional composition. This essentially simulates the pattern of yin and yang, demonstrating the coherence and tension of Tai Chi. 

"The nearby bamboo is projected on the Tai Chi images, implying the relationship between the natural space and the human constructed space. As for what kind of connection the two really have, this is a matter of personal opinion and discernment." said Lucy.

The art installation Summer's Memory is another important work. Inspiration was drawn from the spots of light that are created by trees casting shadows on the ground in summer. When a lit bulb is placed at the side of the installation, the light casts dynamic spots on the wall that vary with the placement depth and simulate the shadows cast by a swaying tree in summer.

When talking about the greatest feeling she experienced while part of the IBDP art course, Lucy said that both the creation and curating processes evoked balance and a greater understanding of self in terms of ideology.

“I thought I could strike a balance between sensibility and rationality. I thought I could be more sensitive at this point or more rational at that point. But in the end, I found that it was very difficult to pull off. This is because, from the creation to the implementation of a work, it will be affected by many factors. As the environment is always changing, my work is also always changing. For me, now, this so-called sense of self has become an enjoyable conflict between making rational judgments and maintaining emotion. ”

Michelle Wang uses her space to explore and express herself using a variety of media, including painting, embroidery, acrylic, 3D installation, and stop-motion animation. “A lot of my works start with color. Using color enables me to express the multifaceted and hidden personalities of the characters,” she said.

The two works she would most like to share are of two huge eyes, the Women of Time and the Red, one blue and one red. Michelle extracted pictures of women's eyes from a large number of historical paintings. She unified these pictures into a blue hue and shaped them into a eye. The red eye was first formed using a polyurethane foam sealing agent. It was then colored red using lipstick, evoking femininity and strength. It is a manifestation of the modern female identity. 

“Putting the two eyes together creates a contrast between modern times and history, reflecting the situation of women during different periods,” Michelle said.

“I have lots of ideas about the world, the environment, and many other things. However, I can't express everything in words. Through art, I can present these ideas clearly and share them with greater audience. As a result, for me, art is a medium,” Jian said.

Now, he is using art to express his understanding of the word “Synergy”. Synergy means that the result of the whole, which is composed of several individuals, is more important than that of a single individual. In other words, individuals are more important and powerful when they are united.
