English daisies
Amy 李宣霓 first took some photos
of these little English daisies which you can see in the photo on the left. She then make a coloured drawing based on these flowers which you can see in the photo on the right. “I need-
ed to be very observant. The flowers were very small but very love-ly. I drew many different coloured lines and dots. These lines and dots seemed to make my drawing look more energetic. I learned this technique from Van Gogh and some other artists who painted around the same time as him. The most difficult part of this drawing was trying to show how dynamic the flowers and leaves were even in a gentle breeze. I hope I can do better next time. This opportunity to draw some of the flowers in the grounds of DYU made me much more aware of how beautiful DY-
U’s campus really is,” Amy 李宣霓
said.

More English daisies
Karen 李宛靜 said that after seeing
paintings by Vincent Van Gogh, their teacher let their class go outside to find some flowers, plants, or trees to photograph and draw. “When we were taking photographs of these flowers, I even saw a bee or a fly
on one of the flowers. It was interesting,” Karen 李宛靜 said.
Karen 李宛靜 and her classmates all drew using oil based crayons. She tried to draw like
Van Gogh. She said that his colours tended to overlap each other. For example, the sky is not only blue and the grass is not only green in many of his paintings.

Praynka 林家瑋 said
that when she heard her teacher say that her class would be going outside to take photos and draw she was so excited. She said that she loves to take photos but that she is not good at painting. She said that she liked Van Gogh’s painting style and that drawing like him made her think a lot. While drawing, Praynka
林家瑋 said that she
thought about Van Gogh’s life and his paintings. She particularly thought about how he used colour and the way he mixed his colours together. After she finished her coloured drawing she said that she felt very happy because she had not drawn for a long time and that drawing made her feel free.

More azaleas
Melody 江孟 drew some of the azaleas
beside the road on the way up to the
DYU library building. She said that in her
Monday class she had been learning
about Van Gogh. “We first looked at
many of Van Gogh's paintings then we
left the classroom to go outside to draw.
I now realise that drawings take a very
long time to complete” she said.

At first, Candy 楊庭昀 felt that drawing flowers was very
difficult. However, after looking at the flowers very
attentively she felt that it was easy to draw them. She
tried to draw in a similar style to Van Gogh. Candy 楊庭昀
said that this activity gave her the opportunity to look
more closely at these beautiful flowers then she had ever
done before. This was the first time that Candy had drawn
flowers in this way. She felt that this was a very interesting
lesson. She was thankful that her teacher had given her
this homework because it had improved her self
confidence.
