WUHAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS (YUCAI)

​Over three days, one hundred students per day; three hundred in total; created a work on paper inspired by the painting; ‘Mouse in a Teapot’.

Ten students from each day were selected to work as a group and paint a large canvas with their impression of ‘Mouse in a Teapot’.

The ‘Mouse in a Teapot’ painting was chosen as the subject for the event as it was the favourite of all the classes.
