This is a piece of art made for Chinese New Year. I used red acrylic paint for the background and paint markers for the details like the gold borders and the Chinese writing. The rabbit was drawn, then cut out and stuck on.

I would like to send my New Year wishes to my relatives and friends in China for a happy Year of the Rabbit and embracing good fortunes one after another.]

A rabbit is living under an apple tree with a traditional lantern hanging on it. A stream of waterfall is just running by. Spring is coming back and flowers are blooming. One flower is standing on the rock of the right-bottom corner and fishing with a rod…
Adults’ group
Isobelle Corrigan (English & Spanish, School of Arts, English and Languages, QUB)
As we move forward into a new year, the year of the rabbit reminds me of new beginnings, new life, and springtime. This is particularly important to me as I too have moved forward into a new chapter of my life and began my first year as a GB student at Queen’s University Belfast.
Afsaneh Eliyas A Shibani (PhD Student in Media and Broadcast, Sonic Arts Research Centre, QUB)
I merged the illustration with digital art with Chinese text beside the rabbit form. The illustration is done with Chinese ink. I transferred the illustration art to digital art using computer graphic software. My aim of this design is to present the combination Qatari and Chinese cultures. The illustration design is called Sadu, a traditional form of weaving in Qatar. Woven Sadu is used in the manufacture of carpets, furniture, bags, tents, etc.
