     - Beijing, China
    A theoretical course mainly focuses on the history of painting, sculpture and architecture from both Chinese and global contexts, as well as the visual culture of film and contemporary art practice. I gained knowledge of art history, aesthetic theory and curatorial practice. This course provided optional sessions on film and performance; given my interest in theatre, this sparked my further research interest in working with objects and material remains, from a focus on performing arts.
