Hello!
So last Sunday, the four of us participated in a Korean folk art painting activity at the museum.
In this activity, we were given paper fans with line drawings of peonies on them, and we colored the fans using acrylic paints. This activity was associated with the current special exhibition, In Grand Style, which features art from the Korean art of the Joseon dynasty. I found it very interesting to discover that the peonies that we were painting actually had great symbolic meaning in Korean culture. They represent wealth, honor and high social position and were often used in Joseon dynasty artwork.
I really love painting so this was the perfect activity for me. Sadly, I didn't get to finish mine but it was still a great experience.
