Bedroom Lamp 2008

A dreamy and magical lamp for their bedroom, this artwork allow them to express their imagination on the lamp and something to de-stress from hectic school and homework when it is bedtime. They took 3 lessons to complete this lamp making from sketching, tracing and makers-rendering :) Thanks to Uncle Joeel for help to assemble the bulbs and switches for the students :) Too bad, Yong Rui was absent on that day, else he will be in the photo! ;p

Big Cats with Spots

These are watercolour paintings done by Wu Jianli and Looi Siaosiang. Initially, for the last few lessons, Siaosiang had a hard time doing transparent painting on the watercolour paper... This time, he's more obedient and able to produce what watercolour painting is about especially on his favourite animal. On the other hand, JianLi is more focus on this painting technique too, he pats less on his pocket and focus more on the painting. I supposed watercolour painting is therapeutic for them.

Swimming Class At Thomson

More swimming activities!!!

Swimming Class At Bishan

This is an action drawing. A drawing to express their swimming experience! Look at 3 yo Ian's drawing... we can tell his visual skill is developing ;)

Paper Mosaic Temple Cats & Sakura

Inspired by Kyoto cherry blossom trip, I asked my students to draw a cat admiring the cherry blossoms... With different warm and cool colours pattern papers make these artwork a surprisingly beautiful work of art!

Art Chair 2008

A major project for this advance level class. They took estimated about 2 months in a length to complete a chair making (minus the days which I took MC and their absent for the lessons). They did a great job with just using old newspapers (only) to build their art chairs. I remember how Rachel brought the old newspapers by a pulling luggage bag and how Yanping stained his favorite dolphine printed T-shirt when he was painting his Thinking Chair...We really had a great time making these chairs :)

Carnation Flowers For Moms!

Today, I was late for class to get colourful crepe papers for the lesson! Again, when I was about to step into the house, Jachin whispered to me what he would like to draw for the art class... I surprised him that we're not going to draw today! "We're going to make flowers for your Mother!" It wasn't easy for them to get hands on the soft crepe paper which required alot of handling control... some couldn't staple the papers properly, some were very impatient with the crumpled folded papers and even cut it too short, some didn't know how to use pattern cutters, some kept asking for helps... Nevertheless, they managed to make flowers by themselves with some of my help ;) With all their Mothers' smiling faces, the kids forgot all the troubles they had made every flower for their Mom ;)

Talking Cards for Moms

Ai Mee and Sonia posed with my home baked cookies and their hand made cards for their Moms :) Gosh, they finished all my cookies without my notice :s But, I'm glad that they love em :)

Talking Cards for Moms

My students made a talking card for their Moms! Here come their imagination to create their favorite animals to express their Love to their Moms... You can see Froggy, Birdy, Kitty, Doggy, Bunny, Dino, etc...

Cubism Cats

This lesson allows the boys to use shapes and forms to construct a Cat. The idea is like using lego blocks to build a building in the visual form. The medium is chalk pastel. They were told to use black and white to practice tones and shadings but you can see they prefer colours :) They took 2 lessons to complete the work ;) Good try boys!
