"It is my hope that my art transcends cultural boundaries and expresses the global language of the spirit." ~Laurel Burch

3D Decoart Acrylic painting + Clay + varnish

Art appreciation:

Yayoi Kusama is the biggest-selling female artist in the world. In her bright-red wig and quirky polka-dot ensembles, she is also one of the most instantly recognizable. At almost 90 years old she is still astonishingly prolific.

Inspired by René Magritte, this workshop aims to use surrealism & 3D art to draw out a sense of identity from even the shyest child. Children will be guided to compose a visual illustration that expresses they are who they are in the present. 

Through a series of questions, our students will self-discover what shapes their lives in the now. We will carry that over to designing whimsical elements using various line work, shape, color, value, tone, texture and depth with clay relief too. With a twist of realistic images using unusual colors and blending seemingly unrelated objects, your child will discover their inner-being as a masterpiece in its own.

In every surrealist painting, there is always quite a bit to look at. As our students free their mind of all analytical thought, and freely paint ideas that are buried deep in their minds of who they are, what will we see?

Fun fact: The very first commercial postcards were created in 1861 by John P. Charlton of Philadelphia. John Charlton sold his copyright to H.L. Lipman who later sold and produced the Lipman’s Postal Card. Advertisers used Lipman cards to print messages and illustrations and He is now considered the father of the modern postcard!

Where did postcards originate from? Did you know that once upon a time, people collected postcards as a hobby? 

In this illustrative postcard + bookmark set, children will use Lipman’s Postal Card as inspiration to get creative with their watercolors. They will learn effective color mixing techniques coupled with a variety of detailed brushwork techniques to bring life to their drawings. 

This project is geared to both the beginner and intermediate painter, adapted to challenge your child at whatever level they are at. Take advantage of the unique properties of watercolor to not just mix it up, but allow it to blend and mingle on the paper!

Featured Artist: 

Johannes Vermeer 

(1632–1675)

Today Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) is one of the most celebrated Dutch 17th century masters. Yet for centuries little importance was attached to his name. It was only in the 1870s that he was rediscovered and 35 paintings identified as his!

In this 2-day workshop, we will be appreciating Vermeer’s most celebrated artwork—-one that has fascinated artists all around the world. Is the girl turning away or turning towards you? No one can quite agree. She’s the subject of Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer’s "Girl with the Pearl Earring”.

Students will study the treatment of light and shade on the subject— just as Vermeer was intensely preoccupied with the behavior of light and other optical effects in his paintings. They will learn to build a foundation of contrast and tonal values and in the style of old masters using layers from underpainting to body painting and finishing. 

Experience how Vermeer uses his palette and how his underpainting creates such an intense volume that brings out a three-dimensional effect. The girl’s enigmatic gaze and the mysterious air surrounding her identity reminds us of Vermeer’s power as an illusion maker. 

Join us in this workshop for an enriching mix of art history and fine art— creating a Dutch Golden Age painting of your own!

Ages:.........  6+ and 9 and above

STROKES of GENIUS

Just when we thought that 3D graphics was replacing a dying 2D art, we’re now seeing a shift in public perception. Pixel Art graphics have become an art form worthy of critical appreciation. Like piecing together many mini square blocks of crumpled-up pieces of colored ties to create a final whole piece of art, the true simplicity of the medium is captured in the amazing designs people end up creating!

Imagine you are a video game character on a super-cool adventure of your choosing. Anywhere from Japan to outer space to the blue lagoon, what kind of adventure would you be on? What would you carry in your inventory? Whether you are helping the dolphin find his friends and need to get across a dangerous lagoon, or in charge of a spaceship all the way to Mars, you are going to need an inventory of things to help you along the journey. 

In this pixel art creation workshop, children will be drawing and painting using acrylic paints. They will plan (visually think) the layout of the items in their inventory depending on the quest they'll embark on. Come express your superhero self with this 8-bit digital medium on canvas and showcase items that make your superhero a force to be reckoned with!

DOT ME, DOT ME NOT

NOVEMBER / DECEMBER SCHOOL HOLIDAY WORKSHOPS 2018

An Open Space for FRESH PERSPECTIVES

Join us as we delve into the wonderful world of the Japanese contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama. Known as the ‘princess of polka-dots’, she has created lots of dots not only in her paintings but also by drawing on physical objects and even her clothes. She feels as if she is making her art and herself melt into and become part of the bigger universe. What a unique character she is! 

In this workshop, students will be recreating a fabulously whimsical environment of dot imagery while they learn about the many types of local as well as lesser-known fruits of Singapore. They will learn to incorporate bright colors through the exploration of neon glow in the dark paints, and experience a different piece of art in the dark! 

While the creation of dots may seem repetitive, the creative process aims to achieve an infinity of space. The result of the painting is truly an optical sensation of dots expanding and contracting as though they are breathing full of life!
