Our class will be having Visual Arts lesson in Term 3 as part of the school PAL programme. Our art instructor is Miss Salina, a gifted art teacher in Endeavour Primary School.
For the first two lesson, the children created self portraits with oil pastels . Besides learning art techniques, they also went on an experience of Self Awareness. There are no right or wrong answers in Art so they are encouraged to explore and take risks.
Some of the children were conscious about how they drew their "mouth" differently from their friends or teacher. The beauty of art is that there is no one right way to follow.The children were taught to embrace that diversity and look out for similarities and differences between their self potraits and that of their friends.
The end result is a wonderful display of beautiful pieces.
The children had a wonderful time. I feel it is more important for them to enjoy the process of making art than the end product. I hope I have been able to capture some of these processes for you in these photos.
