Co:Creation Art Workshop

signed up for all the 3 workshops conducted in April... as teaching moves online, this series of workshop is a god-sent!!! 

facilitated by Nicola Choo, the awesome teacher who successfully taught me how to draw back in 2012 when i was a super beginning art-teacher-in-training and whose technique i am still using to encourage my kiddos to start their drawing practice on... if Ms 糖 can draw, so can they.... heee...

2nd April

Guiding independent and Collaborative Art-Making online 

today's instructor, local dye artist Crystal Lee

lucky me received this free art kit by being one of the first 30 to sign up for the workshop... else i would have to scramble for my own materials so as to explore alongside the artist... 

cotton in turmeric and linen in green tea

(from bottom up) evolution of a blob to a cherry blossom... 😂😂😂

had fun exploring dye but it's a messy messy kind of art creation that requires many many materials - not my kind of lesson but the group discussion on google slides, especially the "i need help" red button function is totally the 仙丹 that i was looking for to up my art teaching using tech... 😍😍😍

9th April

Extending Learning Beyond the Virtual Classroom

today's instructor, local artist Berny Tan

my creation during the workshop over a list of instruction such as:

underline words that represent the story characters 

circle words that represent actions

colour all the 'O's

cross out and join the first letter of the 7th word in each line

block out negative words 

create a rule and use a material of choice - i used silver & gold nail polish to dot all the 3 / 4 letter words in the 1st & 4th paragraph of a given text 

it was really interesting to see that although all participants were following the same set of rules, our master pieces were all different... this is such an interesting lesson that i will definitely try it out with my kiddos...

today's instructor - Soh Ee Shaun 

received the free art kit for today's peace (mindfulness) painting but decided to use my own art materials for the activities instead... =) 

really quite therapeutic to be just painting strokes....
