Thank you to all the parents who visited the HFS Art Exhibition and praised the students’ passionate creations. I will continue to work hard to provide even more diverse and enriching art lessons. Thank you again for your support!
The Year 1-2 students observed real sunflower photos and studied the body parts and appearance of the flower. Using cotton swabs, they painted their own sunflowers. Just like Vincent van Gogh’s sunflower painting, the students expressed the wavy, lively shapes of the sunflower in unique and creative ways.
We also took one last walk around our exhibition to appreciate all the displayed artworks. Each student chose their favourite piece and shared why it stood out to them, creating a meaningful time of reflection and discussion.
The Year 3–4 students learned about tickets used for various performances and exhibitions. They began by recalling exhibitions they had visited and discussed ticket prices, the kind of information usually found on tickets, such as the exhibition title, venue, and images. Then, they had the opportunity to design their very own exhibition tickets, using their creativity to personalize each one.
In their first botanical art lesson, the Year 5 students discussed the meaning of botanical art and spent time observing and drawing a hydrangea. It was a thoughtful session where they carefully studied the shapes and details of the flower.
We also walked through the exhibition made with the students’ artworks and shared our thoughts on the pieces that left the biggest impression. The students talked about the moments they remembered most and what made those experiences special.
We’ve been learning about Henri Matisse’s cut-out technique, where he used bold colors and simple shapes to create beautiful compositions. The children practiced this method by cutting and arranging colourful paper to design their own Matisse-inspired artworks.
In addition to cut-outs, the students also studied Matisse’s simple portrait style. They observed how he captured faces using just a few expressive lines and then created their own one-line or minimal-style portraits. It was wonderful to see how each student brought their own creativity to the task.
Everyone showed fantastic focus and imagination throughout the week—well done, young artists!
Dear Parents,
We are delighted to invite you to a special Art Exhibition on Friday, June 13th in the school auditorium, featuring selected artworks from Term 2 and Term 3.
This exhibition will showcase the creative and meaningful works of our students, who have shown wonderful enthusiasm and dedication throughout their art classes. We warmly welcome all parents to attend and celebrate the children’s efforts, imagination, and artistic growth.
As Korea is our host country, many of the featured pieces reflect Korean culture and identity, created using traditional Korean materials. The students have also studied the lives and works of prominent Korean artists, which are beautifully represented in their projects.
In addition, the exhibition includes student artworks inspired by world-renowned artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Pablo Picasso, Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, and Amedeo Modigliani.
We hope you will join us for this memorable event and enjoy the celebration of our students’ creativity and hard work.
Thank you!

This week, the year 3-4students learned about the Spanish artist Joan Miró and explored his unique and imaginative style. We began by discovering who he was, how he created his artworks, and what made his style so distinctive—such as his use of bold lines, playful shapes, and limited colours.The children then discussed which aspects of Miró’s art they found most interesting or enjoyable. After our discussion, they created their own Joan Miró–inspired artwork, using a limited colour palette, just like he often did. They experimented with lines, symbols, and shapes to express their creativity in Miró’s abstract style.It was a fun and imaginative week, and the students did a wonderful job bringing their own interpretations to life!

This week, the students completed their beautiful portraits inspired by the artist Amedeo Modigliani.
They learned about his unique style—especially how he painted elongated faces and necks, soft expressions, and often left the eyes empty or simplified to show mystery or emotion.
We explored Modigliani’s life, his love for portraiture, and how he expressed deep feeling through simple forms and soft colours. Using pastel techniques on black paper, the students created their own portraits in Modigliani’s style, blending colours with their fingers and paying close attention to shape and mood.
The final artworks are expressive, bold, and truly personal—just like Modigliani did.
Fantastic work, everyone!

This week in art class, the children continued exploring the world of Henri Matisse and his joyful cut-out artwork. We learned that Matisse, later in his life, created beautiful pieces using only scissors, paper, and bold colours.
The children looked at some of Matisse’s most inspiring works, like Blue Nude and Circus, and discussed how he used simple shapes and vibrant colours to express movement, emotion, and energy.
Each student then chose their favourite Matisse piece and used it as inspiration to create their own unique cut-out artwork. They carefully cut out organic shapes, arranged them thoughtfully, and glued them onto large paper, just like Matisse did.
It was wonderful to see how every student brought their personality into the work—some made leaf-like patterns, others created dancing figures or abstract designs.
This week, we began learning about the artist Joan Miró. We explored his life and discovered how he expressed his imagination through bold colours, playful shapes, and dreamlike images.
After learning about his background, we took a closer look at his artwork and discussed what makes his style unique—such as the use of bright colours, abstract forms, and whimsical lines. The students shared their favourite pieces and talked about what they liked most about them.
Next week, the students will begin planning and creating their own artworks inspired by Miró’s imaginative style.
We learned about the famous artist Amedeo Modigliani and his unique portrait style. Modigliani was known for painting people with long necks, oval faces, and calm, dreamy eyes. His portraits often had a soft, emotional feeling, and he used gentle colors and smooth lines to show beauty and personality in a simple way.
We looked closely at some of Modigliani’s masterpieces and talked about what made his style special. The students noticed how different his portraits looked compared to realistic ones—and how each painting seemed to tell a quiet story through expression and shape.
After that, the students created their own Modigliani-inspired portraits. They carefully drew long faces and necks, added simple features, and coloured their art using soft tones, just like Modigliani.
Each portrait turned out beautifully, showing how the students understood his unique style and added their own creativity.
It was a wonderful lesson filled with observation, imagination, and self-expression!
