Connecting Through Art, WCCH Pupil Art Exhibition Grand Opening

The Art Gallery at Wellington College Hangzhou has seen frequent displays of pupils' artistic works for exhibitions or themed presentations. Recently, an unprecedented opportunity opened for our pupils as their works were exhibited in a professional art gallery for the first time.  

On 15th June, hundreds of pupils' artworks from Wellington College Hangzhou quietly awaited the arrival of visitors at Exhibition Room C2 in Hangzhou Winland Centre. 

Paintings, sculptures, and installations – these artworks created by our imaginative and committed pupils ranging from the Nursery to Sixth Form displayed their artistic abilities. It also conveyed their deep comprehension of cooperation, all under the curatorial theme of "Community, Connection and Collaboration." 

At the exhibition, visitors had the opportunity to admire the diverse artistic styles of our pupils' creations, with some pieces drawing inspiration from the innovative techniques of acclaimed artists like Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Keith Haring, and Sam Cox. 

As the modern Chinese writer and poet Yu Dafu once wrote, ‘artists are the creators of beauty’. Each piece on display acted as an aesthetic bridge to every soul, imparting a lasting impression of beauty. 

An artwork provokes thinking instead of imposing definitive answers. We cordially invite you to visit the Exhibition Room C2 in Hangzhou Winland Centre from 13th to 30th June to step into the artistic world constructed by our pupils. Read on to have a quick look at some of their works.  

Art education has always been a cornerstone of the curriculum at Wellington College Hangzhou. We focus on the development of pupils' aesthetic appreciation and creative abilities, inspiring them to express themselves through art. Guided by this educational ethos, our pupils are granted considerable freedom in their artistic endeavours, enabling them to articulate their distinct viewpoints and feelings.
