WEIXIONG - Underwater World
Medium: Oil Pastel + Poster Colour
Weixiong drew a shark in his underwater world. Multiple colours used in colouring of his shark! Nice job done by Weixiong. He is receptive to suggestions and he attempted to draw new underwater species when shown to him.
YOUNG ARTIST - LIM WEI XIONG
Name: Lim WeiXiong
Age: 4
At the age of 4, WeiXiong is still at doodling stage, learning how to draw basic objects. He loves drawing vehicles and he is pretty good at it.
JIN ANN - Underwater World
Medium: Oil Pastel + Poster Colour
JinAnn is still doing lots of doodling work. She is learning how to draw simple objects so lots of attention needs to be given to her, guiding her along the way. JinAnn loves colouring. She enjoys using poster/water colour in her work. Through this lesson, JinAnn gets to learn the use of mixed medium, water-resistant oil pastel with water based water colour. Pretty nice overall effects :)
JINYANG - Still Life "Fruits"
Medium: Oil Pastel
This is an unexpected outcome from JinYang. Fruits were placed in front of him and we actually wanted him to do a still life drawing using his observation. What we did not expect is that JinYang injected in his own creativity, created patterns instead of toning when colouring the items. Nice attempt. We love the results!
NICHOLAS - Still Life Drawing
Medium: Oil Pastel
In this lesson, the main objective is to let the kids learn how to observe lighting, shadows and shades. Using different tones of oil pastel, Nicholas has created a great masterpiece of his own. Pretty good in his observation, drawing the items placed in front of him with right proportion. Good Job Nicholas!

DARRYL - Still Life Drawing
Medium: Oil Pastel
It is definitely a huge challenge for a young kid like Darryl to do Still Life Drawing. 1st time exposure to them and they need to learn how to see shadows, shades, shapes of objects placed in front of them. Though challenging, Darryl took a daring attempt to finish it. Not perfect but definitely a great attempt. Good job Darryl!
CADY - Skyscraper in Frames
Medium: Colour Markers + Poster Colour + Oil Pastel
This artpiece strongly reflects Cady's colourful world! She has chosen bright primary colours for all her buildings, not forgetting to have cheerful looking clouds, clear blue sky as well as the smily bright sunshine as part of her drawing.
With the use of Oil Pastel and water colour painting for the 'mountain' background, Cady is now exposed to use of mixed medium. She gets to know that by using water-resistant oil pastel with water colour, it can creates an overall unique feel to her artpieces. Good attempt by Cady

ELTON - 7Up!
One challenge for this piece is to magnify the soft drink can onto a drawing block size. Elton has managed this well! His can is nicely drawn into proportion. The orange background gave a contrasting effect, making the can pretty much stands out. Good job Elton!
ELTON - The Rebellious
Medium: Poster Colour
This is an assignment with 2 parts, one with WAVING HANDS and the other with FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. Love the way Elton has drawn the waving hands, with so much 'characters' seen in it, giving a 'rebellious' group feel. Just like seeing waving hands in a rock concert!
Great facial expressions drawn for the 2nd artpieces. It could have been better if Elton can draw stronger synergy between the two artpieces, possibly an extension of the 'rock concert' feel :)
YOUNG ARTIST - Elton Gowin Lim
Name: Elton
Age: 12
Elton definitely has a flair in art. A fast learner and willing to explore different techniques imparted to him. He knows what he wants and this can be seen through every strokes he leaves on his artpieces

YOUNG ARTIST - BINATO TAN
Name: Binato Tan
Binato, a quiet worker in class but produces unexpected results! He enjoys creating 3D models, using basic materials such as ice-cream sticks, toothpicks, wires etc. His ability to see things in 3 dimension is really amazing. He never fail to impress people around him with his creation, especially among the younger kids in class. Through his creations, he wants to create his own imaginery world, a 'world' he rules and controls

YEETONG - Still Life Drawing
For the past 2 lessons, Mr Ho has decided to "drill" the kids with Still Life Drawing. This is back to basic learning, teaching the kids how to observe, recognise shapes and seeing different colour tones
LESSON 1 - Still Life Drawing (FRUITS)
- Students aged 10-12: Pencil Shading (Real Fruits - 3D)
- Students aged 8-9: Oil Pastel Colouring (Real Fruits - 3D)
- Students aged 4-7: Oil Pastel Colouring (Fruit Cards - 2D)
For the more advanced students, a plate of fruits was placed in front of them and they were required to observe and draw what they see on paper. A big challenge for them is how to create the 3D effect, applying different tones to make the fruits look as real as possible on paper
(**Pencil Shading: To guide them along, a small piece of paper divided into 6 portions were given to them. They were required to shade each box with a different pencil tone, from lightest in box 1 to darkest in box 6)
Younger students were given a stack of Fruit Cards that they can pick and choose to draw the fruits they like on paper. The focus here is more on the shapes recognition, learning how to see simple toning effects
LESSON 2 - Still Life Drawing of Household Items
- Students aged 10-12: Pencil Shading (Toilet Roll + Bottle + Kettle)
- Students aged 8-9: Oil Pastel Colouring (Toilet Roll + Bottle + Kettle)
- Students aged 4-7: Oil Pastel Colouring (Simple bottles & Cups)
REAL objects were given to the ALL students for observation. Young students were required to draw simple bottles and cups, which do not consist of too much irregular shapes. More advanced students were given greater challenges as they were required to draw objects with more details
Our experience
Kids of young age don't seems to be able to appreciate Still Life Drawing as yet. They may find it too 'mind-restricting' as they draw what they see physically rather than they draw what they feel like seeing (ie in their mind)... However, this is part of their learning process in arts. They need to be trained on their ability to observe, recognising shapes and tones. These are basic skills that they need to be equipped with in order to advance further in arts
These 'Still Life' lessons may seems 'dry' to them but I'm sure they all have learnt something new thru the process
