This series of workshops will start with a survey of trees around the campus of Fudan University. We’ll describe the outer qualities of leaves we find using drawing as a perceptive stimulus. In the second workshop we’ll investigate the internal changes within leaves, especially their mechanisms of germinating and growing, through experimentation with paper folding. In the third workshop we will consider leaves as dynamically evolving in relation to their environment through various theater games and brush and ink works. In the final workshop we’ll review artworks and related research and plan for a book compilation / exhibition event.
