K-Art Fusion: Painting Derpy the Tiger from K-Pop Demon Hunters

As part of the RQAS Workshop Festival, Umihee Kim, an experienced artist and certified instructor specializing in Minhwa, is offering a unique art workshop inviting children to step into the world of Traditional Korean Painting (Minhwa). This workshop is designed to combine classic style with exciting elements from Modern Korean Culture, centering on the beloved animal character from the hit film, K-Pop Demon Hunters.

The session introduces young artists to the basics of working with Hanji (traditional Korean paper) and classic Korean art brushes in a fun, accessible way. Participants will first learn about the Korean Tiger's traditional role in folklore as a powerful protective spirit.

The highlight of the workshop is painting Derpy the Tiger - an iconic, whimsical character from K‑Pop Demon Hunters. Using traditional inks and pigments, each child will create a playful, personalized version of Derpy, embracing bold strokes and expressive techniques. Participants will also incorporate dynamic visual elements inspired by the film’s colorful K‑Pop aesthetic, resulting in a piece that blends ancient Korean artistry with modern fandom.

This is a fantastic opportunity for children to boost their artistic skills and discover how fun and creative traditional Korean art can be. For more information on the workshop and material list, please visit Humantix. 

Free entry to the exhibition, running Wednesday to Sunday 10am to 3:30pm.
