LIBRARY EXHIBITS BILINGUAL SENIOR JASON YANG'S ARTWORKS
From May 12 to 20, Bilingual Department Senior Jason Yang's artworks, a total of 20 pieces, were exhibited in the library. Whether using pencil or digital tools, Jason often chooses people as his subjects. Not only do the pieces fully express emotions, but they also display both imagination and contemplation. Believing that black and white fittingly represent the simplicity and candor of human nature, Jason often uses these two colors in his works. A graduating senior, Jason Yang has already been accepted to Carnegie Mellon, along with several other colleges. Let us wish him the best of luck both in the arts and life!
