The Faculty of Arts at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK Arts) extends its heartfelt congratulations to three of our students for their outstanding achievements in the “Arts Criticism Recognition Programme 2024 – Tertiary Students”, organised by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC)’s Arts Criticism Group.
Music Category Champion: Jayson Chan (MPhil Year 2/Translation)
Theatre Category Champion: Wu Pui Ga (Year 4/Chinese Language and Literature)
Literary Arts Category Champion: Huang Junning (Year 3/Chinese Language and Literature)
Jayson reflected on his experience and shared that writing music critiques allowed him to re-examine the significance of music to human being. It renders his appreciation towards the emotions conveyed through melodies.
Wu Pui Ga expressed her delight and honour at receiving the recognition. She hopes her critiques inspire the public to discover the joy of art appreciation and encourage greater support for local theatre development.
The Faculty of Arts is dedicated to cultivating students' professional knowledge and providing interdisciplinary training, enabling them to excel in various fields. Congratulations again to the three award-winning students!
Programme Introduction
The inaugural HKADC “Arts Criticism Recognition Programme 2024 – Tertiary Students” aims to encourage tertiary students to produce arts critiques in writing or video form, to recognise and reward young individuals with potential on arts criticism. The programme covers five art forms: visual arts, literature, film, music, and theatre (including Drama, Dance and Xiqu). The judging panel of each art form has assessed the qualified critiques independently based on 3 aspects: content, structure and expression, and understanding of artwork.
