My object is a ceramic Chinese dragon. It’s used just for decoration and looks well taken care of as there aren’t any major scratches/chips to the paint. The Dragon is holding a pearl, which symbolizes its connection to wisdom and spiritual energy. Dragons play a huge role in Chinese culture, representing power, luck and courage. The Dragon is also one of the 12 zodiac animals making up the Chinese calendar. Dragons play a big role in celebrations such as Chinese new year, the mid autumn festival and more where Dragon dances are preformed. The dragon symbolizes Chinese culture, beauty and power. Some ideas for my project focus on cultural appropriation or cultural destruction. Im considering making my project about the 1966 Chinese cultural revolution and having the dragons destruction as the focal point.
