This week, the students learned about the main characteristics of Ancient Egyptian art.

After exploring the PowerPoint presentation I prepared to gain a general understanding, each student chose a picture and title provided by me to conduct their own research.

They also created their own question sheets and searched for answers independently.

Next week, the class will move on to an exciting art activity based on what they have learned — creating pyramids, tombs, and even mummies to deepen their understanding of the meaning and symbolism behind Egyptian art.

This week, Mrs Sim’s class learned about the abstract artist Wassily Kandinsky, who believed that “colour and shape can express feelings and music.”
We looked at his famous artwork “Squares with Concentric Circles” and discussed how each circle could represent a different mood or emotion.

The children then created their own versions of Kandinsky’s colourful circles using bold paint colours and careful brush control. They explored how colours can work together to show contrast, harmony, and movement.

The children showed great focus and creativity as they mixed new colours and experimented with composition. Their finished artworks were bright, expressive, and full of energy—just like Kandinsky’s masterpieces

This week, our young artists learned about the famous French painter Claude Monet, one of the founders of Impressionism. We explored how Monet used colour and light to capture the beauty of nature, especially in his artwork “The Water-Lily Pond.”

Children looked at Monet’s garden in Giverny and discussed how he was inspired by the Japanese bridge and reflections in the water. They then experimented with oil pastels and acrylic paint to recreate Monet’s Impressionist style.

Through this lesson, children learned to observe light, reflection, and texture in their own paintings, while expressing their creativity with vibrant colours and brushstrokes. The results were truly beautiful and full of energy—just like Monet’s masterpieces!

Mr. Dunn’s class learned about Post-Impressionism, focusing on two of its most famous artists, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin. Students explored I prepared presentation to gain a broad understanding of both artists’ lives and their artistic styles.

Afterward, each student selected a topic from the provided slides and spent time conducting independent research. During this process, they learned how to think critically, solve problems on their own, and gather information effectively.

In the next lesson, students will present their research using their own PowerPoint slides.

After each presentation, there will be a Q&A session, allowing everyone to deepen their understanding of the lives and works of Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin.

This week, HFS students enjoyed a variety of Halloween-themed art activities.
The upper-year students created different Halloween character masks, drew skeletons, and designed Halloween posters.
The younger students expressed witches over their own face photos, made pumpkin baskets, and created 3D spiders and spider webs.
It was a week full of fun and creative art lessons.
Have a wonderful holiday, and see you in November!

This week, the children celebrated Halloween through a fun and colourful art project.

They began by drawing spider webs, recalling what they had learned about primary and secondary colours to make their webs bright and creative. The children enjoyed experimenting with different colour combinations and patterns to fill their spooky designs.

Next, they made 3D spiders using recycled egg containers. Each child carefully painted their spider body black using tempera paint, then added googly eyes and crafted legs from strips of paper. The classroom buzzed with excitement and laughter as their spooky spiders came to life!

In our next session, the children will use yarn to connect and attach their spiders to their colourful webs, completing their Halloween-themed creations. This project has been a wonderful way for the children to express their creativity while revisiting key colour theory concepts in a festive atmosphere.

This week, the children explored Claude Monet’s Garden and learned about his famous painting The Water-Lily Pond. They focused on how Monet captured light and colour in his work. The children used oil pastels to draw the bridge, carefully layering different colours to create depth and texture. In the next session, they will continue by painting the water lilies and background using acrylic paints.

In one of the sessions, to celebrate the upcoming Halloween, the children had a fun creative activity making treat baskets. They used paper cups and orange paper to shape their baskets, then decorated them with spooky eyes, noses, and mouths. It was a joyful and festive way to welcome the Halloween season!
