When a mom like me who doesn't know much about art is placed in an exhibit of beautiful artworks, well, I definitely go in awe and amazed. Yes, I'm one of those unlucky ones who did get much talent about arts. And having to know people with this great talent really amazes me. Just like the exhibit of the Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students at The Block Activity Center in SM North EDSA, I was really in awe. It was great to see the artworks and to know the artists during the event held at The Block where they showcase the work that created by different artists under the mentorship of the family patriarch, Jose Chan Lim of the Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students.

The artworks displayed in the exhibit were created using different kinds of medias like the painting on scrolls where the scrolls are made up of rice papers. There were also paintings on fans and lanterns using watercolor. Another were the porcelain plates, which they glazed and baked it first in order to preserve the original color of the paints. All of the artworks themes were nature like the flowers, mountains, plants and animals.

The Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students did the very first experience for them last January 29 where they stayed with their artworks, explained a few bits about it and shed a short story about the brushstorkes of the artworks. One of the siblings, Dr. Alex Chan Lim lead the walk tour of the exhibit.
The exhibit of the Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students artworks will run until February 12. So if you love arts and most especially Chinese artworks better visit the exhibit and see for yourself how beautiful their pieces are.
