Bachelor Degree (2017)

The Digital Art and Creative Industries (formerly known as Visual Studies)  has paved the way for me to pursue my dream.
 

Throughout the years of undergraduate study at Lingnan University, I was exposed to different theories of visual culture, from the basics of art history to film studies, and special topics such as light art and videogame theory. The broad scope of DACI curriculum introduces students to a wide concept of art, which is helpful in understanding both traditional and contemporary art.

Art conservation has always been my area of interest. In some DACI courses, I had the chance to visit conservation laboratories in Hong Kong and learned about the philosophy of conservation during lectures and fieldtrips. With the art education and academic support from DACI professors, I was lucky enough to be able to pursue a Master's degree in conservation at Tainan National University of the Arts. Looking back to my study in the DACI programme, it absolutely accounts for a large part in realizing my dream.
