NAC AEP Batik Workshop @ Hwa Chong JC

Filed under: Teach — by flowerism @ 5:34 pm

Hwa Chong Junior College was one of the schools I taught art enrichment programme courses endorsed by National Arts Council. These assignments are good opportunity for me to interact with students and share my art with them.

I have taught at Bukit Panjang Pri, ITE Simei, Unity Secondary, Anderson Junior College and many others. Managed by BobAssociates, this is one department handled solely by Kamal, my husband. He is our chief trainer, developing the curriculum and instructor trainings. I am one of their trained instructor with specialised skills for teaching the Batik painting course and Caricature drawing course. They also conducts Graffiti course which so far I am not involve in. However, who knows, I might take up some training and become a Graffiti instructor someday? :)

On Being A Mom - Group exhibition at SGH (For Mothers’ Day 2006)

Filed under: Art, Group exhibitions — by flowerism @ 3:27 pm

An exhibition organised by Singapore General Hospital (SGH) in celebration of Mothers’ Day. The artists involved are Odile Moulin, Susie Wong, Han Zi Rui and myself. Miss Tan Hwee Ping is the person-in-charge of the arts events called “ArtsExpression” at SGH. The venue is along the corridor of Block 5 in which the long wall flanking both sides provide the ample wall space for the display of art works. The human traffic here is very high, which gives good opportunity for reaching out to the general public to appreciate art.
I selected 3 bigger paintings from the Motherhood series to exhibit in this show. It’s been a great pleasure working with Hwee Ping as she is very dedicated in organising the show, making sure that our works are properly taken care of. A few people have expressed their interests in purchasing. Although nothing has been confirmed but I am still happy with the attention get for my works. It motivates me to work towards producing better works in the future.
It has been a great pleasure knowing Odile, Susie and Zi Rui too as all three of them are talented artists. Looking forward to working with them again in the near future.
