Our Year 3 Design student LEUNG Ka Ka Karen finished as the first runner-up in the Digital Graphics Category of the Wharf Hong Kong Secondary School Art Competition 2021-22. The winning artworks were on exhibition from 7th June to 14th July in major shopping centres, including the Harbour City, Times Square, and Plaza Hollywood. Karen’s artwork depicted an angel confined in a crowded and space-lacking Hong Kong apartment room — a “cage”. In her painting, despite the depressive overall tone and the seemingly disorganised surroundings, she is still able to show an angel with her wings confined — her optimistic and positive attitude towards life. Other than winning the art competition, Karen has also been awarded the Wharf Arts Scholarship, a full scholarship of HKD168,400 that covers all her university tuitions. 在2021-22年度九龍倉全港中學生繪畫比賽中，本院設計課程三年級學生梁嘉珈在數位繪圖組別中奪得亞軍。比賽中獲獎的藝術作品在六月七日至七月十四日期間，於尖沙咀海港城、銅鑼灣時代廣場以及鑽石山荷李活廣場等數個大型購物中心向公眾展出。 梁嘉珈得獎作品名為《籠中天使》，以香港狹窄的公寓房間作為背景，描繪了一位被困在擁擠環境中的天使。畫作的色調壓抑、背景看似雜亂；不過，畫中的天使衝破空間的限制，繼續做喜歡的事 —— 梁嘉珈正是通過這位無法展開雙翼的天使，展現自己樂觀的生活態度。 除了於繪畫比賽中獲獎，嘉珈亦獲九龍倉藝術獎學金計劃頒發接近十七萬港元獎學金以修讀學士學位課程。 |

Karen also took inspiration from Hong Kong’s traditional building “Tong Lau”, among other traditional Hong Kong cultural elements, to preserve the local culture and heritage through art.《籠中天使》的靈感來源於香港的傳統建築唐樓，畫作中也展現許多香港特色的物品，通過藝術保育香港傳統文化。 |
