"Cracklee" effects Expressions

I have specially designed this creative craft program for those people who claim this statement " I can't draw, I don't know how to paint and I have never done a craft before!' This program involves a special kind of technique and some special art materials to create such "cracklee" effect. All we require here is patience as five layers of paint are applied before achieving the desired antique effect.

My Mandala Expressions

I recently have fallen in love with anything that has a black surface to doodle on! Once I started sketching a Mandela on a surface I simply couldn't stop till I have completed. All you need to do is to identify a starting point and start drawing what comes out of your mind - no preplanning or pencil outlines please.  Just relax your mind and allow your spontaneous ingenious thoughts flow freely! Before you know it, a Mandala is created!

So beware - the next time you are wearing something black and plain, do stay away from me!

Community Service - Sunday Youth Club

I facilitated an art session with a group of youth age from 11 to 17. I wanted to educate them to have awareness on global warming and protecting the environment. I presented a short movie which I have put together using resources and information from the internet to inspire them prior to the start of their creative expressions. No examples of art work on this topic were shown and what they have produced at the end of a 90 minutes session is 100% original and authentic!  

My Creative Expressions

My students often asked me, teacher where is your work?  One of the reasons I don't display my work around the art room is I do not want my students to mimic my style in each project.   I feel showing examples of my creations to my students would probably suppress their genuine expressions.   I strongly believe that authentic artwork is based on the student’s own experience, observation and imagination.

Go ahead - take a tour on my blog and have pleasure looking at my creations!
