We created a fun craft this week. We coloured in cars and roads, drew backgrounds, and had a session to make moving cars. Although it’s not finished yet, next week we plan to weave threads, make handles, and create the shape of cars moving, having an enjoyable playtime.
As part of our IPC topic on toys, the Year1-2 children have been busy creating toy cars using cardboard boxes and toy wheels. Before diving into the creative process, we initiated a discussion on the various types of cars we encounter. Following this discussion, we selected colour paper that matched and symbolized those types of cars. Each child carefully crafted their toy car, paying close attention to detail. Next week we will add on wheels.
We’ve finished our stained-glass art project. This week, we began learning about the three main parts of the insect body and created 3D representations using various patterns and designs.
Contour drawing, a variation of outline drawing, involves the artist closely examining the contours of an object and transferring them onto paper with one continuous line, all without looking down except when necessary to place internal features like an eye. This week, the Year 5 and 6 kids created beautiful contour drawings using their interesting objects. Their artistic depictions through lines are truly impressive, and I couldn’t be prouder of their work.
The FS1-2 children got creative as they delved into 2D shapes while crafting transportation-themed projects this week. They eagerly let their imaginations run wild, using various shapes to design different modes of transport, which encouraged both creativity and critical thinking. With hands-on experience, the kids not only learned about geometric shapes like squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, and semicircles, but also applied this knowledge while assembling their unique transportation crafts. Through this interactive lesson, the FS1-2 children not only enjoyed themselves creating their transportation crafts, but also deepened their understanding of 2D shapes in a fun and engaging manner.
This week marked the conclusion of our parody art class. Our take on famous artworks included Van Gogh donning a striking mustache and sunglasses, while Munch’s eerie scream was replaced with whimsical tales straight from the children’s imaginations. Moreover, in Klimt’s “The Kiss,” witty sentences from the kids were cleverly incorporated using speech bubbles. The resulting artworks beautifully captured the children’s humor and creativity. Alongside this, we also crafted frog-shaped toys. Looking ahead, we plan to incorporate these toys into art activities centered around the theme of “toys” in our IPC class next week, promising even more fun and creativity. … Y1-2 Art Class Update – T2W8
In the art class this term, the year3-4 students are exploring the theme of environment and nature. This week, we experimented with stained glass techniques to depict trees. Each student drew their own interpretation of a tree and then used OHP film to create stained glass effect. I believe we’ll see some truly creative works reflecting the children’s imaginations. I’ll share the finished pieces with you next week!
This week, we drew portraits using our own photos. We traced the photos using tracing paper and then used oil pastels we had learned about to adjust the tones, creating a sense of depth. It wasn’t easy, but all the children were deeply engaged in their drawings and created works full of personality.
This week, we tried drawing the Mona Lisa portrait with soft pastels. First, we traced it gently using tracing paper, then carefully applied soft pastels to match the colours from the original painting. Mixing different colours, we managed to show the fine textures of Mona Lisa’s clothes. The session was really fun and educational for all the kids who participated.
This week, FS1-2 kids have been exploring various emotions by drawing monsters with different expressions. They used blowing paint techniques to create patterns and depict monsters with a range of facial expressions. Additionally, they have been learning about road safety, understanding road signs, and even participating in skits to simulate real-life situations. They also delved into the topic of transportation, discussing and drawing various modes of transportation found in the air, water, and on land. It has been a joyous and educational time for all.
