MUKHANG TSINOY - FINAL WEEKS
|
Imelda Ongsiako-Cojuangco
|
Cone Room and Bridgeway Foyer
Ongoing until January 17
It's not too late to see Mukhang Tsinoy: Portraits by Fernando Amorsolo, which closes on January 17.
The exhibit of Sino-Filipino portraits by the country's first National Artist illustrates the changing identity of its subjects from peasant immigrants to influential personalities.
A special wing of Tsinoy portraits from earlier times examines another reason Chinese Filipinos commissioned paintings—as part of a religious ritual in a culture that worshipped its ancestors.

CHINESE PAINTING CLASSES IN 2009
|
Make 2009 the year to learn something new.
Explore your creativity for the first time—or for the first time in years—through our Chinese painting workshops.
We are offering traditional Chinese painting classes for adults beginning January 2009.
Through demonstrations and hands-on exercises, students will be taught how to handle Chinese brushes, ink, and watercolors on highly absorbent rice paper.
They will also learn techniques for rendering bamboo, orchids, and chrysanthemums.
Pieh Tsai Shiu Yuin (Arsenia Lim), who has been painting for 40 years, will facilitate the workshops.
The class meets on ten Saturday afternoons starting end of January at the museum lobby.
Slots for beginners are limited.
For details, please contact Elma Abrina, Programs Officer, at 889-1234 or abrina_programs@yuchengcomuseum.org.
