DARRYL - "Pop-Up" Lion King!
Kids are really fascinated with Pop-Ups. When we showed Darryl the sample design, straightaway he wanted to learn doing the "Pop-Up" lion. Tho he may be too young to remember the steps of doing this pop up card, he has really enjoyed himself when working on this masterpiece of his

YEETONG - City in Frames
This is a 'Comic' Style drawing frame which we wanted the kids to create a city of their own within these frames
Few objectives to be delivered in this lesson
1) Learn how to draw 3-dimensional objects
2) Learn how to draw things in perspective (ie objects in front will be bigger...far away will be smaller)
3) Learn "Overlapping" drawing
4) Learn to draw details
5) Learn how to see things in "Separation"
To guide the kids along, a handout with shapes in 2D & 3D drawing were given to them as reference. Photos of city skyscraper were also provided to help them expand their creative mind. So far so good. The kids have managed it well :)
YEETONG - My Slippers "Footprint Round the World"
One Size doesn't Fit All! Rule of Game is to be able to... CUSTOMISE!
This is an exercise for the younger students. We have a standard Slippers Template which we want the kids to trace the shape onto their drawing paper. With all having the same slippers outline, they are required to become a 'designer', designing their own pair of slippers, giving it a different background
What did they come out with?... Yes! Slippers on sandy beach...on deep blue sea...on shallow river...on green grass patch...in jungle... Hahaha...They can be really creative man
What we want to achieve in this lesson is to let the kids' creative juices flow naturally. With limited guidelines given, the kids will have to learn to make their own decision and cope with "flexibility"
Some might say..."Isn't it easier for the kids if more flexibility were given to them?" You will be surprised man. Young kids will feel 'lost' if too many choices were given to them. They are used to receiving specific instruction to execute jobs given to them. They need to learn to move out from this 'box'! This is part of their learning process
YEETONG - Still Life Drawing (2-Dimensional)
In this session, we are teaching the kids "Still Life" drawing.
For the older kids, they are required to draw by observing REAL objects placed in front of them. We reckon this will be too challenging for the younger kids, hence the requirement for the younger students is to draw using a stack of picture cards as their reference source
Above is an example of what needs to be delivered by the younger kids. The main objective is for them to learn observating 2-dimensional subject, put what they see on paper and learn 'Overlapping' drawing. This is also an opportunity for us to introduce 'toning' effects to them. They will learn how to make use of different colour tone to create more dimensional images
