We are learning about “how humans work” for a couple of weeks, exploring how the human body functions through art.
The students will learn about body parts, movement, and emotions, and will create drawings and sculptures to reflect these concepts.
This week, we learned about the parts of the eye, drew eyes, and colored them with paint. We also began designing crazy hairstyles, and I’m excited to see how their designs will be completed next week!
We’ve been learning about endangered species in art. In the first lesson, we talked about what endangered species are and why they are important. We looked at pictures of endangered animals, and the children picked their favourite animals to draw for a poster. We also discussed their habitats, and the children sketched these as backgrounds. I gave them various options for coloring, and they used watercolour paints, coloured pencils, and colour pens. The Year 5-6 kids worked very hard, and their effort was truly impressive. Well done!
We’ve been learning how to carve our names into erasers using fun techniques like intaglio (carving in), relief (leaving raised letters), and engraving (making detailed lines). The students clearly understood the difference between intaglio and relief and began carving. It wasn’t easy, as cutting the erasers required fine motor skills and careful use of the carving tools. However, the students were well-focused on their work. We will continue this project next week.
Chuseok is a Korean harvest festival, similar to Thanksgiving. It’s a time when families gather to celebrate the autumn harvest, honor their ancestors, and enjoy traditional foods.
Another name for 추석 is 한가위 (Hangawi), which means the “great middle of autumn.”
During Chuseok, people often think about the 보름달 (Full Moon), as it symbolizes abundance and unity.
This week, HFS students created beautiful artwork related Chuseok.
Students learned about 추석 (Chuseok), one of Korea’s most important holidays, and created their own 문자도 (a traditional Korean art form that uses words and images) using words related to 추석. And we drew full moon and wrote wishes, created Jangseong(장승) which is traditional totem poles.
Also, We created Hanbok design for Chuseok event.
We had a lots of fun time.
I hope all HFS family have a great Chuseok holiday.

They learned about 추석 (Chuseok), one of Korea’s most important holidays, and created their own 문자도 (Munjado), a traditional Korean art form that combines words and images, using words related to Chuseok. We also drew the full moon, wrote wishes, and made 장승 (Jangseung), which are traditional totem poles. Additionally, we designed 한복 (Hanbok) for the Chuseok event.
We had a lot of fun, and I hope the entire HFS family has a wonderful Chuseok holiday!
The FS1-2 kids are learning about ‘Me’ over the next few weeks. This week, we learned about the ‘Colour Song’ and discussed the different colours we know. When I said a colour name, the kids found objects that matched those colours. Then, we shared our favourite colours and created a beautiful and colourful butterfly using the decalcomania technique. We also printed our hands using paint and coloured a face shape with coloured pencils. Even though we only had two kids this week, we had a fun time!
The Year 1-2 children will be learning all about ‘All About Me’ over the next few weeks. The goal of this lesson is to help the children learn more about themselves and their classmates by exploring what makes each of them unique and special.
This week, we drew our portraits using the pixel art technique. Pixel art is a fun and creative way to make pictures using tiny squares called ‘pixels.’ Imagine a picture made out of little blocks, like building with small colored LEGO bricks. Each block, or pixel, is one colour, and when you put a lot of them together, they create a big picture, like a face. The year1-2 kids created beautiful pixel art portraits.
