This week, Grade 2 went on a field trip to the National Gallery and the Keppel Centre for Art Education. We were given a tour by "Auntie Nur" who talked to us about "Life by the river" by Lee Kang and another painting showing a Malay lesson in Singapore in 1957. Both paintings are from the Nanyang style- a blend of Chinese and European techniques. The children used a view-finder to focus in on one aspect of the painting to sketch and learnt about how even though Malay (Bahasa) is the national language of Singapore, many people cannot speak it. Later, we visited the Keppel Centre, where the children had great fun exploring the various interactive areas and creating a layered print with Ms. Hima.
