Debate Club
April 15, 2011 Leave a comment
For a while, I have been holding meetings for a debate club with between 10 and 25 students. Last week we had our first competition, a 15 person Congress style debate on the resolution “China should help Japan as much as possible with their earthquake disaster.” Each student gave a 2-5 minute speech followed by a minute of cross-examination from the other debaters. Eileen, Annie, and a Xiuzhong English teacher were judges (thank you so much) and I was the presiding officer. It was great, the kids were great, and the winner got a Yale Speech and Debate Hoodie I brought from the States.
Painting Lessons & Film Festival

I have been taking Chinese painting lessons for CUHK staff. Although the class is conducted in Cantonese the teacher is kind enough to translate the major points. I underestimated not only the difficulty of the style but also how much the it differs from Western painting. With oil or acrylics you can layer the paints and essentially “correct” a mistake. With calligraphy style painting you have to create the image (a leaf, bamboo, a bird) in a limited number of strokes. It is difficult to control the amount of water and ink and on the brush and the direction of the stroke! They are offering the class again next semester, I think I ought to continue.
Also, I am now the official copywriter for the 1 Minute Film Festival Asia. If anyone wants to read my work check out http://oneminute.asia/blog/.

The art club for Lingnan students continues this semester. Students are getting a little more creative, working on: watercolors, paper cuts, woodblock prints, clay sculptures and acrylics.
