Featuring 21 artworks, ISZAF (the International Shenzhen Artists Forum) collaborated with international artists within Shenzhen to create a diverse, unique and once in a lifetime exhibition experience. 

Artists including members of the ISNS staff were challenged with the task of creating half of an artwork, then switching canvases with another artist who would then complete the piece.

The biggest challenge I faced throughout the curation process was making sure that the exhibition was suitable for all ages since the ISNS student body ranges from K2-grade 12. I expressed that the most enjoyable part of this process was creating the poster to promote the exhibition due to the fact that I were able to transfer my graphic design skills developed both during art class and within extracurricular activities. Moreover, I commented that the experience helped me develop my communication skills and boosted my artistic confidence, Team collaboration helped us be more efficient.

The Collaborative Exhibition is a very valuable opportunity for our grade 12 students, through allowing them to work with professional artwork and artists to create an exhibition that goes beyond just the ISNS community they are building important skills that will help them in the real world. Throughout this process the students have displayed great imitative in taking charge of their roles in the exhibition while also utilizing our on-campus resources.

The biggest challenge she faced was incorporating parts of herself as an artist into the artwork, knowing that it would soon be impacted by someone else's identity and aesthetic. She struggled with trying to create and maintain unity within the artwork because of how diverse her and her partner’s art styles are. Through including patterns in her piece, she was able to successfully complete the piece and reincorporate her personal aesthetics while being mindful of her partner.

My favorite aspect of creating the artwork was when I got the chance to work with the other artists at The Absolute Music and Art gathering that happened in May. During the event I found that the atmosphere was very good for my productivity and passion.

该展览展示了21件艺术作品，ISZAF（国际深圳艺术家论坛）与深圳的国际艺术家们合作，创造了一个多元化、独特的画展体验。

艺术家们（包括ISNS的教职工）面临的挑战是每人创作作品的一半，然后交换画布，由另一位艺术家完成该作品。

策展过程中最大的挑战是确保画展适合所有年龄段，因为ISNS的学生群体涵盖从K2到12年级。我最享受的过程是创作画展海报，因为这能够将自己在艺术课和课外活动中培养的平面设计技能应用到其中。此外，这个经历还帮助我提高了沟通能力，并增强了艺术自信，大家的合作帮助我们提高了工作效率。

「艺术・共创」画展对我们12年级学生来说是一次非常宝贵的机会。通过与专业艺术作品和艺术家们合作，他们不仅为ISNS社区创办画展，还培养了能在现实世界中用得上的重要技能。在这个过程中，学生们展现出了很好的主动性，在画展的各个角色中发挥了重要作用，并有效地利用了校园资源。

（中学/高中视觉艺术老师）

我面临的最大挑战是将作为艺术家的自己融入到作品中，明白到很快想法就会被他人的身份和审美影响。我和合作伙伴的艺术风格差异很大，所以在创作过程中努力保持作品的统一性。通过在作品中加入图案，我成功地完成了作品，融入了自己的个人美学的同时也尊重了合作伙伴的创意。

我在创作作品时最喜欢的部分是和其他艺术家在五月份的“绝佳音乐与艺术聚会”上一起创作。我发现那次活动的氛围非常适合我的创作和热情。
