Discussing our ideas.
Then we drew, drew, and drew…
Cute!
For lunch we had the most American meal ever in South Korea so far, the KFC chicken “burger” and coleslaw!
After lunch we drew some more, and discussed our semi-final ideas about the Park. Almost everyone incorporated some sort of “nature” elements in the Park, be it ocean waves or a mountain. Interestingly, almost all Jeju students included “pigeon” as a part of the Park because pigeon is considered a symbol of peace in Korea.
Mr. Jim Hubbell giving us some feedback.Before dinner, we went outside and played some Frisbee and soccer.
Dimitry moves at the speed of light!We had Obento for dinner! It had chicken wings, Kimchi, fried shrimp tempura, sushi and soy soup (what a combination of culinary culture)!!
To end the day, we watched a documentary about Mr. Jim Hubbell, the artist/architect who guides and mentors us throughout this journey in Jeju. Two things jumped out by watching this movie: Mr. Hubbell is keen on the idea of integrating architecture and nature (which is also very true in the Jeju stone architecture), and his clients are artists themselves in a sense that they express themselves through Mr. Hubbell’s creation. The second part was refreshing to hear since I often felt there are differences when you create something for your own sake, and when you work for someone. Mr. Hubbell somehow successfully creates art both for himself and clients as self-expressions. I want to learn how to do that better myself.
