This week in art class, the Year 5–6 students continued their exploration of Kim Whanki’s beautiful artwork. Building on last week’s lesson, the children added colour and detail to their own interpretations of Kim Whanki’s paintings, inspired by the masterpiece they had chosen. They carefully painted the remaining parts, thoughtfully using soft colours, dots, and lines just like the artist did. In addition to finishing their paintings, we began a new activity inspired by Kim Whanki’s famous Moon Jar series. Using a Korean traditional paper, the students cut and arranged pieces to create their own white moon jars. This collage … Y5-6 Art Class Update T3-W3

This week, we had a fun and creative time designing traditional Korean gomusin (rubber shoes) made out of paper. As part of our exploration of traditional Korean art, this lesson was designed to help students better understand and appreciate the culture of our host country, Korea. We began by talking about what gomusin are and when people used to wear them. Then, the students got to work decorating their own paper gomusin, using beautiful patterns made with traditional Korean paper, hanji. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to connect with Korean heritage through art.
