We are here to look at large scale artworks - installations. Many of these artworks are engaging and interactive. Consider how some of these concepts and ideas can be implemented to make our school more vibrant.

SYF Art Exhibition @ National Museum of Singapore

The theme for this year's exhibition is 'Artist and Sustainability'. Many of these works are of a smaller and more personal scale than the works at the Children's Biennale. Consider how the artworks fit the exhibition theme. Which of these works intrigue you? What would you like to learn from them?

All participants, please jot down your thoughts and reflection under the respective columns. ]]> 2022-07-19 06:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2245975111 gsyest1 https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2245978837 a) Share a photo/ photos of an artwork/ installation that is interesting to you.

I think it’s quite creative and adds more life to the exhibit.

I think we can do something similar to hang in the library of our school.]]> 2022-07-20 09:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246809459 https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246834457 I was shocked by this gigantic art installation made up of cupboards when I entered the room. It shows the potentials of what wastes can turn into. 
I think it is possible to make artworks similar to this that made of different kinds of recycled materials. It can be big in size and we can involve the whole school to take part in it]]> 2022-07-20 10:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246834457 https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246835852 Can have those kind of lovely and cute paintings around the school, which I think can not only made the school more vibrant but also give students a more relaxing and comfortable place to study and also relax themselves.]]> 2022-07-20 10:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246835852 https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246835921 This artwork is called On The Wings of Wind(抟风·逍遥), done by Zhuo Mingxuan from VJC. it is made of gouache, watercolor, satin, paper, resin, glass paint, pearl, gold leaf, feathers, alexandrine. The idea of this artwork is that Traditional crafts reflect our rich heritage and culture but they are eroded by modernisation and technological advancements. By assimilating new materials and contemporary themes to resonate with the current world, the beauty of the past can be reinvigorated and shine in the modern light. I like this artwork because it combines the traditional art and modern art in a very beautiful and interesting way. ]]> 2022-07-20 10:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246835921 https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246836874 This artwork is by Shivesh S/O Sivaperakas from ACSI. The artwork medium is acrylic on canvas. It appeals to me visually by the artist’s amazing skill of painting and portraying. It also express the idea of youth taking up responsibility to care for the earth in an amusing way. Comparing to other artwork that make me feel gloomy and serious, this one surely stands out.]]> 2022-07-20 10:19:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246836874 https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246837469 The artists’ names are Ezekiel Tan Jin Han, Fabian Lim, Gregory Lim

According to the artists, the gummy bears are annunciations of humans, who are unmotivated to address climate change.
They went to spread the message that there still is hope and change can be made.

I like this piece because of the use of pastel colours and cute gummy bears that address such a heavy subject. Although there aren’t any facial expressions on the gummy bears, their body language and sizes can still express their emotions.

 I think that these points make this piece very special to me.]]> 2022-07-20 10:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246837469 https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246838413 I am keen to explore more on painting on different items such as clock, bags or shoes. It feels more meaningful when I use them]]> 2022-07-20 10:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246838413 https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246840063 I like this installation because it use the simplest material to build such huge artwork and even the details are all well established. We can use such similar simple materials to build very big installation in the school, we can form small groups to build something first based on a certain theme before we combine everyone’s work to make it huge and impressive ]]> 2022-07-20 10:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246840063 https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246840630 I particularly like this painting because of the colour palette. I would love to explore and try out watercolour. I believe with watercolour, artworks can have more potential, as the paint can be both really soft and extremely bold at the same time. I would like to learn how to paint landscapes or food with watercolour.]]> 2022-07-20 10:26:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246840630 https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246841703 I would like to learn such paper sculptures or other form of sculptures]]> 2022-07-20 10:29:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246841703 https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246841908 It is made by 9 Unity Secondary School students by using mixed media. They want to raise people’s awareness on the importance of protecting the environment by this art work. Otters have become one of Singapore's iconic local inhabitants. Through irresponsible discarding of trash, we have caused suffering to these otters as they consume our trash by mistake, suffocate and die. We used actual trash and newspaper to make this sculpture to raise awareness on the importance of sustainability to protect our environment.
I like this piece of artwork not only because of the cute appearance of the otters, but also the message that they want to bring to us. By covering the sea otter's mouth with a bottle cap which depicts that it almost get out of breath, it shows that we really need to pay more attention on the sustainability to protect the environment and start taking actions now.]]> 2022-07-20 10:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246841908 https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246842292 It seems very interesting and useful at the same time!]]> 2022-07-20 10:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246842292 https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246938217 This sculpture I chose was made with religious inspirations. It does not take any defined shape, and yet seeing it, one can tell it is meant to symbolise something. It get one thinking, that we can believe in anything, but still the power to change comes from within ourselves]]> 2022-07-20 14:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246938217 https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246942506 This work of art depicts a stage. The masks symbolises the image people create for themselves to show to others, but when out of sight, may do something completely different. This is reflective of our society, where there are people who only do good to create a good public image, but when they have nothing to gain from the process, or they have something to gain from doing the opposite, they may not even hesitate to do it.]]> 2022-07-20 14:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gsyest1/wad06gaok4ynko9p/wish/2246942506
