The distraction of the students, 2019. Acrilyc and chinese INK on paperboard
Joining the Heavy Colour painting subject at NTUA made her to take pictures of teacher's creations. 陈時候 is a known teacher and artist specialized on traditional chinese technics and on character topic. Character topyc is one of the main topics on chinese history of art. The difference on the way of teaching is absolutely different from spanish universities. Teacher shows how to paint and draw to the students, then at the end of the class or during the breaks, you can show him your own artworks and recieve some advisement from him. But something caught the attention of the artists, most part of the students seemed distracted while the lessons, some of the even ate and texted on her phones. Something that make her feel sorry for the teacher and awesomed because of the situation. This is why Angela decides to inmortalized the peculiarity of the atmosphere at the artwork.
