Next, I came across a very interesting game. It was a wall with wooden sticks on it, and below it was a box filled with different shapes and sizes. One of the shapes was a big triangle, while another was a small square. Just as I was playing, I noticed a fortress made entirely out of pillows! My friends and I could not resist so we decided to crash into it and knock it down.

After that experience, I realized that everything around us could be a form of art.

It reminded me how important it is to take care of our heritage and keep our environment clean for the future.

When we arrived at the museum, our tour guide, Ms. Jennie, took us to see a portrait of an Indian worker by Tan Boo Pin. I noticed that the man in the painting had tired-looking eyes, and the background was dark, which made him stand out the most. I learned that if you want something to be the main focus in a painting, using a darker background can help make it more prominent.

Next, Ms. Jennie showed us The Family Portrait by Geogette Chen. I saw that the family was together, and even though they were doing different activities, they looked very happy. I noticed that the mother stood out the most because the artist used black to create shadows, making the painting look more realistic and 3D. This technique helped bring depth to the artwork and made certain details stand out more.

After that, we visited the Keppel Centre for Art Education (KCAE), where we got to explore and experience different art activities. One of the most exciting activities was trying out 3D printing. It was a challenging yet fascinating process, as we had to carefully design and create our prints layer by layer. I realized that 3D printing requires patience and precision. Next, we played with a UV torch, using it to draw on special surfaces where our artwork magically appeared under the light. It felt like creating invisible drawings that only the torch could reveal! Lastly, we experimented with the magic paintbrush, which allowed us to paint on a digital screen. It was amazing to see how the brush strokes came to life on a large display.Through these hands-on activities, I learned that art can be interactive and creative in many ways, and I developed a new appreciation for the effort behind digital and 3D artwork.

After we went to see the family portrait, we went to KCAE ( Kepple Centre of Art Education) we got to use the UV torchlight, when we use torchlight to point at the wall it can show what you draw or write. There also a activity of paint brush and you are suppose to use the paint brush to touch the 3D animation screen.

On the 23 January, I went to the National Gallery of Singapore. I felt bursting with excitement and twirling with happiness. I could not wait as it was just minutes away. I quickly ate my snack and got ready to go.

During our self-guided tour, our teachers brought us to see several interesting exhibits. The first thing we saw was Five Fingernails. At first, I mistook it for a throne, but upon closer inspection, I realized it was actually a sculpture of oversized fingernails.

Next, we saw The Net, a structure made from recycled materials. At first glance, I thought it resembled a cluster of beehives, but I later learned that it symbolized the impact of waste on our environment.

The last exhibit we explored featured World War II artifacts, including old weapons and military helmets. Seeing these historical items gave me a glimpse into the past and the struggles faced during wartime.

After viewing the portraits, we headed to the Keppel Centre for Art Education (KCAE). One of the most fascinating activities there involved using a UV torchlight. When we pointed the torchlight at the wall, it revealed whatever we drew or wrote, making it feel like we were creating invisible art that magically appeared under the light.

Another engaging activity allowed us to interact with a 3D animation screen using a paintbrush. As we touched the screen with the brush, the animations responded, creating a unique and immersive experience. It felt as though we were painting in a digital world, blending traditional art with modern technology.

After alighting the bus, we made our way to where we will put our water bottles after we kept the water bottles in the cabinet, we split into two groups and I was in Mr. Sinna's group.

We were talking the sculptures trail. First, we looked at Life Of

Miao. "The person who made this is Shi Tat Sing." said our museum guide. "The next one is The Long House." She said.

Next was The Net, it was made by Teo Eng Seng.

After the guided tour, we went to the Keppel centre for Art Education. We went to draw on the wall using the UV torch . After having fun with the UV torch light, we went for an activity that gives us a brush, while we were playing with a brush we had a lot of fun. I learned that art can be fun while learning and art can be anything we like it to be.

At this section of the National Gallery, it was a place to play. First, I went to a place that has many different activities. There was a torchlight which let us draw on a specific wall. Then, there was a small glowing section with blocks of different shapes we could build and play with. My personal favorite was the foam shapes. It was like a pillow with magnets and we could build several different things with it. After we were done playing, I went to an interactive place with one paintbrush and different stations. The similarity between all these stations were that they all required the paintbrush. After we were done with the different stations, we went to a painting room where we drew chinese words like “草”. This is my most favourite activity before we had to go for our self-guided tour.

After the guided tour, we went to the Keppel Centre for Art Education (KCAE). One of the activities we tried was drawing on the wall using a UV torchlight. It was exciting to see our drawings appear under the special light. After that, we took part in another activity where we used a brush to interact with a digital screen. We had so much fun experimenting with colors and patterns. Through these activities, I learnt that art can be both fun and creative. It can take many different forms, and we can express ourselves in any way we like.

After having fun at the Keppel centre for Art Education, we went for the self guided tour. At the self guided tour, I saw five long nails that stood out the most. At first I thought that it was just montain but after hearing the explanation from my friend I realised that it was five nails. I learned that I should be careful with the sculpture and appreciate it.

After having fun at the Keppel Centre for Art Education, we went on a self-guided tour. During the tour, one sculpture that stood out to me the most was Five Nails. At first, I thought it was just a mountain, but after my friend explained it to me, I realised it was actually five long nails.

From this experience, I learnt the importance of looking closely at art and understanding its meaning. I also realised that we should be careful around sculptures and appreciate the effort that artists put into their work.

After that, we went to Keppel Center for Arts Education (KCAE). We used the UV light and shone it on a special wall which allowed us to create drawings on the wall. After that, we took some toys and placed it on a transparent table. Using a magnifying glass, it could project our hands and toys on a screen. We also made a fortress out of the soft pillows. I learnt we can make art with toys, pillows and even UV lights!

When it was finally the time to leave I felt really happy, my favourite activity was using the UV torch light to draw. I learned that we should appreciate art and be careful with them, I hope to go to the National Gallery of Singapore again.
