Mothering Sunday
Yesterday was Mothering
Sunday. In England and a few
other English-speaking
Commonwealth countries this
is a special day. It is a
traditional time to visit your
mother and give her a posy of
flowers and a piece of Simnel
cake. This is a light fruit cake
covered in marzipan or
almonds with some marzipan
or almonds in the middle of it.
It is very delicious!

The Newsletter DYU students draw and photograph
DYU’s trees and flowers
In this issue you can see some more
drawings and photographs by Da-Yeh U students of Cultural Creative Industries. They said that they really enjoyed going outside to draw and take photos in DYU’s beautiful campus grounds. _____________________
A Fuji cherry tree
Jay 陳秋霖 said that when he looked
at this tree, which is a Fuji cherry tree
from Japan, he just wanted to make a
beautiful drawing. He said that
although he knew that he could not
draw like Van Gogh or other famous
artists, he could still draw with life and
feeling. “l tried my best to draw it and I
think this drawing is the best I have
done in my whole life. This was the first
time I have gone outside to draw. This
was a life changing experience because
it gave me time to focus on DYU’s
beautiful surroundings,” he said.

Flowers
More flowers
Joanne 黃品璇 said that when she
drew the picture on the left, she
focused on the colour of the flowers.
In her drawing she used red, green,
black and brown. “In the sunshine
the red flowers and green leaves had
many different colours. The flower
centres even had a bright golden
sparkle. It was amazing,” she said.

Amy Liao 廖瑞玲 said
that her class had recently
learned about Van Gogh’s
works. “We saw many
paintings by Van Gogh
then I used pastels to
draw these flowers. I
tried to imitate Van
Gogh’s style. When I saw
these flowers I felt very
happy because it made
me feel full of vitality.
Since this is my first
sketch, I felt that drawing
it was quite novel,” said
Amy 廖瑞玲.

Many thanks!
Judy 林珈佑 said that she tried to take her
photograph from an angle that showed the
natural beauty of DYU’s campus grounds.
“It’s so much fun going outside to learn. It
was a leisurely morning. We didn’t just stay
in the office or class. We thought we’d go
outside and take a walk and breathe the
fresh air. What a wonderful day,” said Judy
林珈佑.
