Creative Expression on cars

My student who is innately passionate about anything with four wheels and move created the above expressions. He is fascinated with car engines and all the technologies involved in making a car speeds on the road!

Chinese New Year Decoration 2011

We will be celebrating Chinese Lunar New Year - Year of the Rabbit on the 3rd of February. I take this opportunity to decorate my home for this auspicious occasion. The materials chosen and used for the decoration are natural and 100% recyclable. The pumpkin and rice are real and can be consumed after Chinese New Year. The fire crackers are made with toilet roll cores wrapped around with red paper. The rest of the decorative items can be reused for next year.

Go GREEN even though it is has to be RED for Chinese New Year!

Students' Mandala Expression

Mandala expressions created by my 12 years old students.  My briefing to them is to draw freely in any forms or shapes they desired. It's their first piece of Mandala art and their creation gave me a pleasant surprise!

Craft aquarium

I engaged my students in recycle craft; transformed a discarded carton box into an imaginative craft aquarium. They had fun and enjoyed working as a team completing this project in one art session. Their feedback was 'this is awesome and we want more!'

The above exhibits my creative expressions during a recent workshop on Expressive Arts. 

Unexpected Discovery

This student has never been exposed to expressive art before. It was an unintended breakthrough for her to have explored herself through art. The above exhibits her first few pieces of art work in which the outcome has surprised the creator herself! She discovers her innate talent in art and unlocks her creativity.

I am very happy that she has the opportunity to explore this unique part in her.

Making Art Lessons Come Alive with Web 2.0

I attended and presented a paper titled "Making Art Lessons Come Alive with Web 2.0" at  Global Conference on Learning and Technology held in Penang, May 2010. This video summarizes the content of the paper written.

Collage Art

These kids were bored having nothing to do during the school holidays, so I engaged them into doing something  inspirational. They drew their names on a white art block and then cut up their painting into shapes they like. They then put together a collage on black paper and finished off by decorating the cut out shapes.
