For the Lunar New Year art activity, the Year 3-4 students created “Ilwol Obongdo” (The Sun, Moon, and Five Peaks). This traditional Korean painting or folding screen depicts the sun, the moon, and five mountain peaks, symbolizing harmony, balance, and the natural world.
The students explored the colours traditionally used in this artwork and observed how these colours were applied. For their project, they cut out one object, such as a pine tree, from a real picture, while sketching and colouring the remaining parts themselves.
The activity required great focus and attention to detail, and the students’ final works beautifully reflected the traditional theme.
