Day 08

Workshop: Puzzle Painting (third day)
Date: 19 December 2008
Time: 5-6.30pm
Participants: Chan Yun Sheng, Chong Jun Kiat, Lai Ming Xuan, Lim Jun Hong, Wong Kai Wei
Details: Puzzle Painting hopes to spice up the participants' creativity by asking questions - simple questions. To paint a puzzle, is to paint fragmented stories, whereby those fragments or anecdotes, can be integrated into a bigger or a more hollistic story/scene. Unlike painting only a scene on a paper, this workshop manages to trigger the participants' creative thinking, to have them visualize what's beyond the paper, and what's next.

The participants were excited as they got to paint with acrylic and water-based medium - something they haven't got to even touch. While they were enjoying, the mess was disastrous for me.

Yo! Lim Jun Hong asking some questions regarding the DSLR camera.


Finish drawing, so put every piece back to its position and take a picture!


The young artists. One hiding his face, one hiding under the table.


Start painting.


This might be some aimless splotches to you. But to them is an effort that they would be glad of. That is the aesthetic of children's art.


It was 6.30pm, all of them left the room. And I saw this palette! What profligates we have had here!


Ok, two days for them to complete the whole 1m x 1m wooden puzzle, today and tomorrow. All the best to them.

And I have to repeat this: PLEASE WORK TOGETHER AS A GROUP.
