In celebration of the Lunar New Year, we created wish lanterns, hoping that the wishes made on them come true throughout the year. In another art session, we crafted baskets using weaving techniques and then attached the fruits we painted last week.
In celebration of the Lunar New Year, we crafted a calendar. Afterward, we delved into the art of silhouette. We sketched silhouettes of our favorite images, cut them out to create stencils, and used them to capture specific colors for certain shapes in empty areas of our pictures.
In celebration of the Lunar New Year, we crafted coasters using Hanji, a traditional Korean paper, adorned with patterns inspired by Korean patchwork wrapping cloth. Additionally, we continued practicing observational drawing of eyes, noses, and mouths. Next week, we plan to create self-portraits using our own photos.
In celebration of the Lunar New Year, we created paper plates using Hanji, a traditional Korean paper, with patterns inspired by Korean patchwork wrapping cloth. In another art session, we continued making the Art History Timeline poster.
The FS2 kids kept learning about art, focusing on cool and warm colours. This week, we tried using vibrant and expressive solid watercolor paints. The children learned how to use these paints and make different shades by playing with water. They not only understood how to work with solid paints but also got better at creating different tones. It was a fun and enriching experience where they used what they learned to make cool artworks.
The Year1-2 children completed drawing apples in the style of Paul Cézanne. They created wonderful artworks by using oil pastels to add various colours to the sand paper. In another session, they used solid watercolours to draw various fruits. They learned how to adjust tones using water, even with the same colour, and each child completed their own fruit painting. The finished artworks reflected the unique personalities of each child.
This week, the year3-4 students crafted vibrant collage art using sheet music and old newspapers. They began by drawing flowers on the sheet music and newspapers to express their feelings. After colouring the images with markers and coloured pencils, they skillfully cut them out and arranged them thoughtfully on the canvas. To enhance the depth, they incorporated thin paper to create layers, giving their artwork a three-dimensional feel. The outcome was a delightful collection of artworks, each uniquely capturing the personal sensibilities of the students.
This week, the year5-9 student, who did not attend the ski camp, had classes together. They continued practicing drawing eyes, noses, and mouths for portrait art, and also enjoyed free time exploring various materials, including solving art puzzle challenges. It was great to see their observation skills and pencil shading techniques improving.
We created ‘Sun and Moon’ using warm colours and cool colours cellophane. To start the lesson, we reviewed and identified warm and cool colours through discussion. Then, we matched the colours for the sun and moon, sticking pieces of cellophane where they belong. In another session, we crafted a cute baby shark using cool-coloured paper.
This week, we learned about a very special artist named Paul Cézanne. He loved painting all kinds of things, but one of his favourites was apples! Our Year 1-2 kids created a colourful apple drawing using oil pastels on sandpaper, inspired by Paul Cézanne’s apples.
