Y1-2 Art – Term 3 Week 9

Y1-2 kids have been learning about ‘art in the past and present’. We are starting to learn about one form of digital art called ‘stop motion animation’. We have explored how stop motion is created and discussed the necessary processes. Afterward, we began drawing images to create our own stop motion animations.

Next week, we will take pictures and connect them to create a seamless animation. We will also add text and music to enhance the final result. It’s an incredibly exciting project, and the kids are thoroughly enjoying it. I can’t wait for next week to continue working on this project.

Year 5-6 students embarked on an exciting journey today as we delved into the technique of illustration by the renowned artist Eric Carle.

To kickstart our exploration, we watched a captivating video clip titled “A House for Hermit Crab.” During our discussion, we marveled at how colors emerged vividly on watercolor paper and blended seamlessly, creating stunning effects.

Inspired by this, we eagerly picked up our watercolor paints and began experimenting with a variety of colors on the paper. Witnessing the magical interplay of hues, we were thrilled with the beautiful blends we achieved. Looking ahead, we are excited to channel our creativity into drawing enchanting sea animals on the watercolor paper next week.

Utilizing the techniques we observed and the skills we acquired, we aim to bring these creatures to life with intricate details and vibrant colors.

In addition to our watercolor exploration, we successfully completed the creation of 3D shapes representing various animals.

The process involved careful cutting, folding, and assembling to bring the animals into tangible form. This hands-on activity allowed us to understand the spatial aspects of these creatures and appreciate their unique characteristics.

Year 7-9 students explored a variety of fashion designs and created beautiful fashion illustrations as part of our project. We delved into the world of fashion, studying different designers, trends, and styles for inspiration.

With our newfound knowledge, we embarked on sketching our unique fashion designs on paper. We experimented with various poses, outfits, and intricate details to breathe life into our creations. Using an array of mediums such as pencils, markers, and fabrics, we added vibrant colors and textures to our sketches, making them visually captivating.

The culmination of our project involved transforming one of our fashion illustrations into a stunning fashion magazine cover. We carefully selected the illustration that best represented our creative vision. I am excited to see what kind of artworks will emerge from this project until next week.

FS1-2 Art – Term 3 Week 8

This week, we watched the fairytale ‘The Little Mermaid’ and pretended to be mermaids as we explored the underwater world. We learned that besides sea creatures, there are many other living organisms in the ocean, and we expressed this through art. We had a lot of scissor cutting activities this week, and I can feel that our children’s fine motor skills are improving. Let’s meet again next week for more fun art lessons.

What does Island life look like to you?

Island life can vary greatly depending on the geography and location.

The students in Year 3-4 shared their ideas and experiences of islands, and we discussed the different images they had in mind. Afterwards, we embarked on creating stunning watercolor sunsets of islands. During this activity, we learned techniques for using watercolors to achieve different tones. I am delighted to present the beautiful islands that the students created. Well done, everyone!

This week, we read the story of “The Ant and The Grasshopper.” After reading the story, we had a lot of fun creating beautiful grasshopper headbands and guitars. We also learned about the fascinating life of jellyfish and expressed our understanding through watercolor paints and marker pens by creating stunning jellyfish artworks.

The invention of the camera has indeed had a profound impact on people’s lives. It has transformed the way we capture and preserve memories, document events, and communicate visually.

In our Y1-2 class, we recently learned about the art of photography. The students learned how to take a picture and understand the importance of composition. We also had discussions about the significance of focus, lighting, and stability in photography. The children learned the techniques of “zoom in” and “zoom out” and applied them by taking pictures of the pine tree in front of our school.

It was a lot of fun for the students, and they were able to describe the object through their drawings and paintings.

Next week, we will be exploring the world of Digital Media Art. Stay tuned for more exciting creative experiences!

In our recent Art in Entrepreneurship project, we focused on creating business cards. Business cards serve as a means to provide contact information and make a positive impression on potential clients or customers. For this project, we specifically designed business cards related to a hamburger shop. The students put their creativity to work and came up with their own unique and personalized designs for the business cards.

They incorporated elements that represented the hamburger shop, such as graphics of hamburgers, catchy slogans, and appealing colors. By designing their own business cards, the students learned about the importance of branding and how to effectively communicate information about their fictional hamburger shop.

It was a hands-on and engaging activity that allowed them to explore the world of entrepreneurship and marketing. Overall, the project provided a practical and fun opportunity for the students to apply their artistic skills and understand the role of visual communication in business.

We have started a new topic called “Island Life” this week. In this project, we will be using various art techniques to create and express beautiful islands.

We completed a beautiful silhouette animal art project and added objects to describe their habitats. Moving on to making 3D DIY Cardboard Animal Crafts is an exciting new project. It provides students with an opportunity to work with three-dimensional materials and develop their crafting skills.

They can utilize their imagination and artistic abilities to bring their favorite animals to life using cardboard and other materials.

Throughout these lessons, the students are not only honing their artistic techniques but also learning about different habitats and the animals that inhabit them. This multidisciplinary approach combines art, biology, and environmental awareness, providing a comprehensive understanding of the natural world.

We have completed our cup carrier design!

Then we moved on to the exciting world of fashion design. In this phase of the course, we have started exploring different types of fashion design and delved into the fundamental principles and elements that shape this creative field.

To begin our journey into fashion design, we discussed the basic principles that govern this art form. These principles include proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis, and harmony. We explored how these principles play a crucial role in creating visually appealing and well-balanced fashion designs. Students were encouraged to analyze and understand how these principles are applied in various garments and fashion collections. In addition to the principles, we also explored the essential elements of fashion design. These elements include color, line, shape, texture, and pattern.

We discussed how each element contributes to the overall aesthetic and visual impact of a fashion design. Students had the opportunity to examine different fashion pieces, analyze the use of elements, and identify how they influence the overall design concept. Throughout our discussions, we also highlighted the importance of creativity and innovation in fashion design. Some students started sketching their fashion designs, using their observation skills. They will sketch the models’ fashion designs, relying on their observation skills to capture the essence of their envisioned looks.
