Inside the Artists' World: Interactions between Students and Artists in Hong Kong

This community-based project aims to examine the 'gaps' between artists and the public, schools and students in Hong Kong and seek ways to bridge them. Guided by the researcher and a team of teacher educators, selected secondary students will interact with five prominent Hong Kong artists over one semester. The students will interview the artists, write observation notes related to their first-hand experience of the artists' works and lives, and make reflections of their own journey as 'outsiders' to the artists' world. Analysis of 'insider' and 'outsider' accounts are expected to provide insights for arts polices and arts education practices.
