Mayan art brightens up Shanghai (2)

The students, both Chinese and expats, had to work with the ten traditional colors that Mexican artists normally use. They said that wasn’t easy.

Zhang Bin, student, said, "The patterns are quite different from ours. We have traditional clouds, copper coins and bats. They have traditional Mexican geometric patterns. I’ll try to use all ten colors and try to make some other combination of colors. I’m drawing everything I thought about. Later maybe I can get some new ideas based on the brochure."

Tatiana Soler, Spanish expat, said, "I’m very colorful person so I love warm colors I don’t know why. Here you’re painting on the wood so it has very different technique. First you need to cover the wood with plastic colors, plastic paintings."

Instructor Chantal Abrajan from Mexico City says she wants to introduce this Mexican intangible cultural heritage to China because of its resonance with the Chinese culture that also has a very long history.
