     The Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre of the Art Promotion Office is staging the “Art Specialist Course 2022-23 Graduation Exhibition”, which started yesterday (October 26) to November 6, to showcase creative achievements by 20 graduates this year.
      
     The theme of the graduation exhibition this year is “Infinity”, where students were required to explore how to present and extend the concept of infinity through visual arts. All the students made use of the skills they had acquired in their courses, “Ink Art” and “Pictorial Art” over the past year and unleashed their creativity. They used flowing brushstrokes and colour combinations to outline their unique visual realms.
