BINATO - Red Runner

Binato just completed another of his creation. Something beyond his usual style... more aesthetic feels to the appearance by adding of wings in his design. He has inserted one of his toy car in this model, allowing his creation to be in motion! Cool creation!

Medium: Oil Pastel + Plastic Sheet + Colour Marker

Although Divesh is only in his Primary One, he has the capability to deliver work that is beyond standard of his peer. We decided to introduce him to colour toning technique, something that is new to him. Though he may find it a bit challenging at this point in time, it is definitely a good start for him. Good job Divesh!

Carmen - Beach

Medium: Oil Pastel + Plastic Sheet + Colour Marker
Date of Creation: 22 & 29 Mar 2008

The key objective set for this lesson is to teach Carmen the proper technique of colour toning. Having 'Sunset by the Beach'as the background, we wanted Carmen to apply toning effect to the Sun, sky and sea using Oil Pastel. Upon completion of the background, we overlayed a plastic sheet to the drawing and gave Carmen the freedom to let her imagination run wild in creating her own scenario. Not a bad attempt by Carmen :)

Like this artwork done by Aditya. The people are nicely drawn with unique characteristics. Aditya has learned to create tones in his watercolour painting. He is fast in grabbing the techniques we have taught him. Great job done :)

BINATO - Flying Plane

This is Binato's latest creation. Notice any differences from his previous work? This plane is painted with brighter colours! Nice creation with a refreshing look!

YEETONG - WHITE on WHITE

Medium: Oil Pastel & Poster Paint

Oil resist Water. This is the technique we are going to demonstrate thru this lesson. We took a slightly difference approach this time round, expecting the students to begin by creating the background, then complete the art piece with the drawing of the main theme

STEPS TAKEN
1) Provide the student with a sample design of a tree (To create the background)
2) Using the provided reference, the student can start drawing the tree design using a WHITE oil pastel, onto the white drawing paper
3) After drawing, paint over the paper with coloured poster. The white drawings done earlier will then 'surface' out as oil pastel resist the poster paint
4) Wait for the painting to dry and then overlay it with the main theme design

Students find this an amazing technique. It is filled with 'mystery', especially before the applying of paint to the white drawing. The overall design will slowly surfaced out nearing the completion of art work! Nice attempt by all of them. Good job!

YEETONG - Colour on BLACK

Medium: Oil Pastel + Black Paper

Children are very used to drawing on white paper. When given a black piece of paper, how are they going to react??

In this lesson, we have decided to provide the children with black paper and wanted them to create an art piece with it. With some reference visuals as guide, they will have to start drawing using oil pastel. As students are not used to this method of drawing, choosing the right colour will be a challenge to them. How light can it go...how dark can be seen??? Through this art lesson, the kids will learn colour contrast and now to manage dark background drawing

YEETONG - Printing Plate Creation

Medium: FoamBoard + Waterproof Paint

In this lesson, we wanted the students to do a board printing assignment. Providing them with a foam board, they are to use their pencil to draw on board, afterwhich applying the paint on board and get the visual printed onto paper.

For younger students, the requirements will be to draw one overall visual and get it printed. Challenges posed to the more advanced group will be to create a comic strip printing board. Many of them find it confusing as things they drew turned out to be of 'opposite' direction when printed! Haha...a lesson learned :)
