• Part I:

1. Are you good at art?

I’m afraid not, I’m hopeless regarding art in general. I had art classes about one to twice a week when I was in primary and middle school but in the end, all I could draw was like a 2D house on a hill, with a sun in the corner and birds in the sky that looked like the letter m.

2. What kind of art do you like?

I can’t remember how many art kinds there are but if the kind of art you’re mentioning are paintings, movies or books,… I’m fond of the cinema kind of art, especially Japanese animation - anime since I tend to watch movies a lot and sometimes read articles about what makes the movies great or bad and what the director wanted to imply in the movies. 

3. Have you ever been to an art gallery?

Yes, I’ve once been to an art gallery. It was a gallery organised by an art teaching centre where my teacher at university is drawing and he invited me to come. It was a decent gallery with paintings in many well-known art styles drawn by both students and teachers in the art teaching centre.

4. Do you think children can benefit from going to art galleries?

I’ve never thought about this myself before. Fortunately, I’ve read a short article about this before and they said that art galleries help children to develop their analytical skills as it encourages them to think and analyse what the artists wanted to imply in their works.

• Part II:

I don’t actually have a piece of art that I really like. However, among the things you don’t like, there’s still one you dislike the least and for me, it’s a portrait painting of a tiger lying on the grass, under a chair with an animal-skin carpet posture. It’s a work created by the teacher who taught my university teacher to draw when he started learning how to draw at the art centre I’ve mentioned before. You might have guessed where I first saw it by now. It was the time when I came to the gallery organised by the art centre. While most of the artworks there were about nature, scenery or a person that mainly show the artists’ skills and don’t have such huge meaning implied in them, except for this tiger artwork. Despite trying, I couldn’t come up with any idea what the artist thought when he drew it. At that time, my teacher was also there so I asked him if could figure anything out since he was the artist student but he couldn’t either. What meaning could a painting of a tiger, happily lying in front of a chair like a carpet in the middle of the woods, have? In the end, I couldn’t think up any idea that seemed reasonable and that’s why it intrigued me a lot, even up until this time. At the end of the day, I took a picture of it and used the tiger’s face as my avatar on facebook.

• Part III:

1. What makes a good painting?

I must admit I have never thought about this question before. However, in my opinion, the heart and soul of the artist during the creation of a painting is the most important factor in order to have a good painting. My friends who are fond of art tell me that Van Gough used to say, if I remember correctly, “Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul.” Personally, I think it’s quite reasonable. In a different kind of art, music, if the people that together create a song put their emotions and their heart into it, definitely the song when it comes out will touch millions of people’s hearts.

2. What are the tradition art forms in your country?

There are quite a few traditional art forms in Việt Nam and among them, Đông Hồ folk paintings and Ceramic potteries. Đông Hồ folk paintings are popular as the people in Đông Hồ village are the only ones that know how to create a painting with full natural materials. Vietnamese traditional ceramic pottery dates back to the time after the Chinese invasion, during the Lý Dynasty. Although being influenced by Chinese culture, Vietnamese ceramic pottery still kept its distinctive features until the modern days.

3. How has art changed in the last few decades in your country?

I don’t know much about art in Việt Nam but I used to read an article on the news. It interviewed a painter named Thanh Chương, president of an art association. He said since the renewal process started in 1986, there had been a breakthrough in thoughts and an increase in impression of fine art within the country. More painters and art critics gained their fame, more people interested in learning fine art and more fine art training institutions had been established.

4. What do you think children should study art at school?

I think it’s a good idea to teach them to put their mind and heart into what they are doing. Moreover, as I have answered, teaching art to children will also teach them analytical skills and other fundamental skills. Art can help children engage better in class and improve their productivity in studying.

Màu sắc, giống như đường nét, đi theo sự thay đổi của cảm xúc. - Pablo Picasso
