Chuck Close is an American artist known for his photorealistic portraits and self-portraits. He received his MFA from Yale University in 1964. In 1988, he was paralyzed from the neck down due to a spinal artery collapse, but continued his art practice. Close is known for pioneering a style using grids of different colored squares to abstractly represent faces and figures. Throughout his career he has experimented with different media and techniques to push his artistic boundaries.
This power point goes with a lesson in which students learn about the life and work of Chuck Close and create a photo-realistic pencil drawing from a black and white photo of a face using the grid method.
The beginning of this power point is a game which is meant to be an ice breaker for the students. The students are give the challenge of figuring out what the picture is before it is completely filled in. I allow the students to shout out ideas while I write them on the board. This helps rid them of some of their inhibitions so that they will be more willing to participate rather than passively listen (or worse yet, not even listen.)

This proposal was for admission interview. It was written in late 2019 before the pandemic. You can learn about my original aspiration of applying for this contemporary-art postgraduate programme based on my studio-art experiences, my experimentations and my confusions towards the notions of contemporary-art curatorship.
This is a very fundamental version of my research proposal for the admission interview of MAFA studies at CUHK Fine Arts. It was written right after attending Prof. Ho Siu-kee's admission talk in 2019, and there was no pandemic at that time. Now, the Kowloon Walled City Series is my graduation project. Looking back to my original idea before the admission, will there be some similarities between the research proposal and my current creative development?

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
