About the final project for: India Ink Illustration with Japanese Influence
Nanjing with Japanese influence
“Dear students, Now that we have reached the end of the course, I would like to thank you very much for having followed this whole process and I hope you had fun. I am very happy and honored to be able to share my experience with you, but remember that the journey is just beginning! To make art is to be in constant movement, to experiment, to fail, to get up and exchange these experiences with other people. Do not forget who you are and do not be afraid of being vulnerable, as it is this vulnerability that will bring meaning to your work. Everything I shared in class are not rules, just the results of my own mistakes and successes. So, don't be afraid to try to create your own method and talk to your individuality. Thank you! With love, Mika Takahashi ”
