K-pop Academy Week 8 - Homework Assignment

안녕하세요! 

So, here's my homework for the week!! I designed a traditional hanbok that would represent the K-pop Academy. I took it quite literally and just used the colours of the academy on my design. 
It's not a piece of art, but yeah. Hope you enjoy it :^) 

K-Pop Academy Week 8: Hanbok

안녕하세요!

So, for Week 7 we didn't have a lesson as it was an easter break. However, on Week 8 there was a lesson on Korea's traditional dress, the Hanbok!! 
Unfortunately, I couldn't go to the lesson as I was in Spain visiting my family...But I've made some research so I don't fall behind with the knowledge :^)

According to Wikipedia, Hanbok is often characterised by vibrant colours and simple lines. They don't have pockets. Throughout history, Korea had a dual clothing tradition, in which rulers and aristocrats adopted different kinds of mixed foreign-influenced indigenous styles, while the commoners continued to use a distinct style of indigenous clothing that today is known as Hanbok.

In 1996, Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Korea made 'Hanbok day' to encourage people to wear Hanbok.

Although the term literally means "Korean clothing", hanbok today often refers specifically to hanbok of the Joseon (Chosŏn) period and is worn as semi-formal or formal wear during traditional festivals and celebrations.

Here are the different parts for women's hanbok:

Well, I think that's all for a brief description. Personally, I enjoy fashion and I think traditional clothing like hanboks are really beautiful as they hold a long and full of tradition history.  

K-pop Academy Week 6 - Homework Assignment

안녕하세요! 

For this week's homework the theme was art, as we went to the British Museum. I did a powerpoint presentation about a Korean artist that caught my attention and captivated my heart. 

Here's my homework, take a look if you wish :^) 

Thank you! 감사합니다!

K-Pop Academy Week 6: Art and History

안녕하세요! 

This week's lesson was really interesting. We got to attend a little lecture at the KCC about the history of Korean art which was really valuable as we got to know a little bit more about Korean culture and the meaning of the country's art.

Later on we went to visit the Korean gallery at the British Museum. We did a knowledge quiz about the exposition held at the gallery. It was hard as some of the things weren't at the museum anymore. However, it was fun having to go around the gallery and we got to learn while doing the task. 

It was my first time going to the British Museum and I loved it. Here are some pictures I took from the gallery:

K-pop Academy Week 5 - Homework Assignment

안녕하세요! 

For this week's homework Laura and I decided to do a dance cover of the song "Can You Feel It" by Donghae and Eunhyuk from Super Junior, as it was one of the homework options for the week due to the dance workshop that we got to do with LoKo. 

She's probably going to kill me and I'm going to lose any dignity that I may have left, but here's the link to our homework:

Week 5: Dance workshop with LoKo

안녕하세요! 

Again late updating because I'm irresponsible. Nah, I've been ill for 4 weeks and I'm preparing for my exams. Anyway, mianhae!!!

For week 5 we had the honour to participate in a dace workshop with the girls from LoKo!!!
We learnt the dances for the chorus of Red Velvet's Happiness and Infinite H's Pretty. It was difficult for me, as I have no coordination between my hands and my feet, but I had a lot of fun.

I couldn't take any pictures as I was too busy trying to do even one step right...However, I'll leave below the songs that we learnt how to dance! Hopefully I won't forget them!!! 

Thank you to LoKo for giving us this opportunity and to the KCC for this amazing experience. 감사합니다!

K-pop Academy Week 4 - Homework Assignment

안녕하세요! 

For this week's homework I chose the first option, which was creating a chart showing all of the letters of the Korean alphabet to help others learn hangul. 

I tried to make it fun, colourful and entertaining so it would be easy and not boring to look at it! 
Here's my work, tell me what you think:
Thank you! 감사합니다!
