The Art of Black and White



The Art of Black and White

I went to Shenzhen Museum this afternoon. There is an exhibition called "The Art of Black and White: Chinese Ceramics in Song Dynasty".





In this exhibition, many kinds of ceramics were displayed. They all have unique and special designs.


I like this Tiger Box so much. The artist used simple lines to depict the shape of a tiger.



There are some traditional chinese pattern around each corner of the box. There are 3 men in the middle of the box cover. The artist wants to tell us a history or a story by this simple drawing.
