HKwalls‘ Hong Kong Artist-in-Residence programme (aka Hong Kong AiR) is a multi-disciplinary initiative which aims to promote Hong Kong and emerging artists all over the world. This time, we have brought Hong Kong AiR to King George V School (KGV). A mural themed on science and environment was implemented on a wall at the school’s Science department. Designs and ideas were collected from students before they got their hands dirty. Our supervising artist, TAXA, would also give a workshop to students on spray paint and brush techniques to prepare for the main event. The entire process provided students with fun experiences in collaborative work and creative art-making. They developed a deeper understanding of the mural themes, as well as mastery of practical tools.

HK AiR is an ongoing project that will include more artists in the future!

HKWALLS香港駐場藝術家計劃（簡稱Hong Kong AiR）是一個多元企劃，旨在宣傳本地及國際藝術家。藝術家會於校園內創作並舉辦工作坊，讓學生可以發掘不同種類的藝術以及經歷創作過程。這一次，我們將Hong Kong AiR 帶到英皇佐治五世學校，在該校科學大樓的室外牆上創作了一幅以科學與環境為主題的藝術壁畫。學生們在動手塗鴉之前，可以參加事前的設計和意念徵集活動。我們邀請的指導藝術家TAXA也會為他們舉辦一個有關噴漆和畫筆技巧的工作坊。整個過程為學生提供了協同工作和藝術項目創作的有趣經歷。他們對壁畫的學術主題有了更深入的理解，也得以體驗學童平時難以接觸到的諸多實用工具和技法。

HK AiR是一個持續進行的計劃，未來將會有更多藝術家參與其中！
