This week in art class, the students explored the world of pixel art! After learning about how digital characters and images are made from tiny squares called pixels, they each designed their own creative characters using graph paper. They carefully planned out each square, colouring them one by one to form unique pixel-style drawings—from cute animals and expressive faces to fun icons and imaginative creatures. This project helped them understand how digital art works while practicing focus, planning, and colour arrangement.
This week, the students learned about the artist Henri Matisse and explored two of his famous works—”Icarus” and “The Snail.” They learned that Matisse was a French artist who used bold colours and shapes. When he became too ill to paint, he started making art by cutting shapes from paper—a technique called cut-outs. Students used scissors and glue to create their own art inspired by Matisse. They cut out bold shapes to make figures like Icarus flying in the sky or colourful snails using squares and curves. Through this fun activity, they practiced creativity, shape recognition, and composition—just like Matisse … FS2, Y1-2 Art Class Update T3-W7
This week, the students had lots of fun designing their own umbrellas! They used permanent markers to draw on the curved surface and filled the umbrellas with fun pictures like animals, characters, and rain scenes. They learned how to turn a plain umbrella into a work of art by thinking about shapes and space. Each umbrella shows their own personality and creativity. Everyone did a great job!We will colour and finish them in the next lesson.
This week in art class, the students created beautiful nature-inspired artworks using the hanji collage technique. Hanji is traditional Korean paper made from mulberry trees, known for its strength, texture, and soft, fibrous feel. This project gave students the chance to explore Korean materials while building their creativity and fine motor skills. Students worked on large green foam boards and used a tearing technique to design either waterlilies or orchids, both of which are common themes in traditional Korean art. Through this project, students learned how to carefully tear, layer, and glue hanji paper to create beautiful textures. They also … Y5-6 Art Class Update T3-W7
This week in art class, students explored Korean traditional ink painting by creating their own artwork on folding fans using black ink. This hands-on activity introduced them to classic Korean aesthetics and helped them develop brush control, creativity, and a deeper appreciation for traditional art. We learned about Sumukhwa (수묵화), a style of painting that uses black ink and expressive brushstrokes instead of bright colours. We explored traditional Korean subjects like pine trees (strength), bamboo (honesty), birds (freedom), and flowers (beauty and seasons), and talked about what they symbolize. Students practiced using brushes to create different lines and textures, focusing … Y7-9 Art Class Update T3-W7
This week, Yeseo shared where she would like to go in a hot air balloon and then created her very own colorful hot air balloon artwork. She also explored the texture of sandpaper and had the opportunity to draw an animal of her choice directly onto it. Even though she is young, Yeseo does a wonderful job expressing her ideas through drawing. She received lots of praise this week—and even earned five beautiful stickers! We’re so proud of her.See you next week for another fun and creative art lesson!
This week, the children created their very own one-of-a-kind bags! They chose animal designs and used a silkscreen stamping technique to transfer the image onto the bag. After that, they added beautiful shapes and patterns to decorate it in their own unique style. Aren’t their artworks just wonderful?
This week, we had a flower petal-making lesson using origami techniques. We folded the paper point to point and side to side, then cut and glued the pieces together to complete beautiful petals. When we combined all our petals, they formed lovely flowers. In the remaining time, we worked on our hanji collage art project. Everyone participated with great effort—it was a wonderful and creative art class!
This week, we recreated the artwork of Park Soo-keun by drawing on sandpaper and coloring with crayons. The children’s pieces beautifully captured the rough texture that is characteristic of Park Soo-keun’s unique matière style. We also began a lotus flower collage project using traditional Korean hanji paper, which the students thoroughly enjoyed. These artworks will all be displayed at the art show in June. Great job again this week, everyone!
This week, Yeseo continued exploring the powerful and emotional artwork of Lee Jung-seob. She brought her ox drawing to life with paint, using strong brushstrokes and red, yellow, orange colours. Yeseo carefully painted her ox to show how strong and kind it is—just like in the artist’s work. She worked with great focus and added her own special style, expressing her feelings through art in a beautiful and creative way. It was lovely to see how Yeseo connected with the story and meaning behind the ox, showing strength and warmth in her painting.
