HFS students have embarked on a creative journey this week, crafting beautiful artworks that capture the spirit of Christmas.

In the Year 7-9 class, students delved into Andy Warhol’s shoe design, while the Year 5-6 class focused on Christmas stamp creations. For the Year 3-4 students, the theme was ornaments and snowy scenes, and the Year 1-2 class worked on Christmas candle designs. Even the F2 kids joined in the festive fun, creating adorable snowmen and Christmas wreaths.

The atmosphere was filled with the unmistakable charm of Christmas as students explored various materials to bring their imaginative ideas to life.

It was truly a joyful time of artistic expression and festive creativity at HFS.

FS2 kids tried threading yarn using fuzzy yarn for our Christmas stocking and decorated. We also drew
and made a reindeer mask, following my instructions step by step. Additionally, we created beautiful
snowflakes with clay. It was a lot of fun this week. Well done, everyone!

This week, the Year 1-2 children continued to paint the night view of the skyline. ‘Instead of acrylic
paints, we opted for watercolor paints this time.
Through this, we discovered the differences between the two mediums and how they affect the final
outcome. The Year 1-2 children also eloquently described tall buildings reflecting on the river. Behold
our beautiful completed buildings—aren’t they amazing? Well done, everyone!

This week, the Year 3-4 students created their own constellations using their names and incorporating
various images into the starry backdrop.
We had a session where we used sand in various colors, white, and gold markers to create a texture
reminiscent of the planets in space. Everyone enjoyed using a variety of materials.
In the remaining two weeks, we will have a Christmas art class, which the children are eagerly looking
forward to.

This week, the year 5-6 students had a session where they drew Christmas trees using various materials.
They expressed snow-covered hills using white paper, crafted tree trunks by cutting cardboard boxes,
and completed warm and cozy Christmas trees using oil pastels and chalk pastels.
The children’s artworks seem to embody a purity that is truly unique and unmatched.
They produced such wonderful pieces of art this week.
I am Looking forward to meeting them again next week for more enjoyable lessons.
Have a good weekend!

In the mid-1950s, Andy Warhol worked as an illustrator for the popular shoe manufacturer I. Miller.
For three years, Warhol drew shoes for advertisements, a cultural symbol that would fascinate him
throughout his career. The stately high-heeled shoe, usually depicted in profile, was Warhol’s favorite,
which he portrayed in a range of colors and materials.

This week, the Year 7-9 students took inspiration from Andy Warhol’s shoe designs to create their own
high heels. The objective of this project was to design Christmas-themed shoes incorporating
commercial elements. Each student is anticipated to express their unique personality through their
individual shoe designs.

Starting this week, the FS2 children are having art lessons with a winter theme.

When we think of winter, movies and snowmen come to mind, so we had a lesson on drawing Olaf.

After watching a short video about Olaf’s story, we observed Olaf’s appearance and had a drawing session with me on the white board.

We also discussed the presents we want to receive for Christmas with me and designed Christmas stockings.

Since all the FS2 children are kind and wonderful, they believe that Santa Claus will bring exactly what they want for Christmas. They drew pretty stockings with various shapes.

In the next session, we will have a time to try threading yarn using fuzzy yarn.

This week, the Year1-2 students learned the word ‘skyline’ and enjoyed photos the view of skyscrapers and cityscapes. They sketched the skyline of tall buildings reflecting on the river.

Drawing straight lines horizontally and vertically can be challenging for them, so this activity provided an
opportunity to practice using scissors. They depicted various shapes of buildings, including tall, short, wide, and narrow structures.

They also tried to capture the feeling of the river reflecting on the water. Additionally, they used scratch paper to draw buildings. It was a diverse and enjoyable building-drawing class.

Next week, they plan to finish the incomplete scratch buildings and experiment with coloring their ketches using acrylic paint.

Constellations are special groups of stars, each forming a specific shape and having its own name.
They operate like a dot-to-dot puzzle, where the stars are connected with invisible lines to create a
picture. These pictures often resemble animals, humans, or objects, and though they might sometimes
be challenging to see, the stars in a constellation, despite appearing close, can actually be quite distant
from each other.

This week, the Year 3-4 children delved into the fascinating world of constellations.

Now equipped with an understanding of what constellations signify, they created their own constellations using their names and incorporating various images into the starry backdrop.

The activity proved to be very engaging, with some children even continuing to paint on their space background using black paints.
