Art Activity

Our “Muuuse-um” journey takes us to Tate Modern where the children will learn about and explore contemporary art. From pop art to more conceptual pieces, we will pose questions about what creates an audience for works of art. We will be trying different techniques of drawing and discuss about the different art styles that are covered during the course. How can we portray something as simple as an apple or a cup in a different way? The participating children will be encouraged to explore and experiment in the vast world of possibilities!

The National Gallery visit will focus on Impressionism. We will be taking a look at the various impressive paintings that fill the halls of the gallery. The children will be expected to not only look at the painting, but also at the frames of classical paintings and learn about how they add onto and complement the artworks. The focus will especially be on the impressionists where we will use pastels to understand the different methods the artists were using their brushes as to recreate their atmosphere and surroundings.

The Victoria and Albert Museum trip will focus on the works of Rodin and patterns of Asia and the Middle East. The children will encounter Rodin’s various sculptures upon entering the museum and will be encouraged to ask questions about Rodin as a sculptor. With the inspiration from these sculptures, they will create sketches of the people who left an impression, perhaps someone else on the trip.
