After the Decoration

One day, I was wondering is there any other way of creating illustrations other than artist expressing their own ideas or inspiration? Could there be a way to let everyone participate in this creation process? One very important significance of the existence of an artist is to present beautiful things in an intuitive way, allowing the general public to be influenced by beauty. Therefore, it is the responsibility of an artist to restore everyone's thoughts to the form they most want to express.
For Drawing Relay 1, I picked Sisyphe Bookstore in Hangzhou, China as the stage. Since people who love to read books are more willing to embrace new stuffs, I picked 20 lucky people in library to participate. Most of them are primary school students on holiday vacation. They are allowed to draw anything in the canvas, and then I redecorate it after. I loved to chat with those young children while they were doodling. They were willing to share their daily agendas and gossip about their classmates. Young children's heads are full of joy and happiness. I was enjoyed in this process.
