Wang Binwei, secretary of the Party Committee of SCNU, came to the opening ceremony and engaged with the student authors and their advisors. He fully acknowledged students' works and encouraged them to maintain cultural confidence and better shoulder the new cultural mission in the new era.
The graduation exhibition has become a brand window to display the university's achievements in talent training. It creates a vibrant artistic and cultural atmosphere in SCNU and leaves a profound SCNU imprint on the students, said Yang Chengwei, vice president of the SCNU.
Unique self-expression, rich and bold use of colors, diverse and changing creative trends... The graduate works with profound connotation have broadened the eyes of the audience to the exhibition.
Tang Zimeng, a 2023 graduate student majoring in special education from the School of Education, was deeply touched on the scene of the exhibition. "It's very meaningful for students to use art to express their emotions and thoughts, and to end their undergraduate or graduate years in this way." Tang wants to become a student at the School of Fine Arts to create beautiful works.
