AIYA2-The Students

High School graduated students wishing to get into Sichuan Academy of Fine Art,They rent apartment around the academy for 6 months, Everyday from 8am to 11pm they trained Drawing, Sketching, Water Color. for the entrance exam against 30,000 competitors. They've been kept telling by their tutor that their skills are far from perfect, their drawing still bad. They are too shy of their skill so they never draw outside the studio before.

I ask them to come out at night putting 9 pieces of paper and ask them altogether to draw one big drawing. They've shown their love for art, Their artistic spirit is far beyond their tutor even before they enter art school which probably kill their pure love for art.

We displayed their works during the Youth Art Biennale event, those young students thought they lack of skill but they already shown their artistic quality to public.
