Projek Semai is an artist-initiated independent project promoting creative thinking at pre/primary/secondary school stage, thus in such belief to create awareness within a community on the importance of art education.
Projek Semai will go on 'tour' from an art education centre to another, or even kindergarten, primary and secondary schools. This project hopes to reach out to the younger one and tell them what art is all about through activities. Various workshops will be conducted to provide experimental exercises for the participants to explore within their own creative territory.
Our workshops are inspired based on research and analysis on some readings of philosophy and psychology about child development and the major research lies on history of art of course. It will be an on-going research, our list of ideas in this sense are accumulative, and from those ideas we will develop workshops where we can put the yarn of information into a fine simple threat of educational activities.
A small display and a talk will be held at the end of the entire session to allow discussions about the details of the artworks produced during the workshops. This very humble post-workshop event will also be vital in this project because it is during the talk where all the ideas can be put into words, not just for the participants, but the community as well. In this perspective hopefully Projek Semai can contribute a little in educating the people about art.
Only through understanding art, one can learn how to appreciate it, or at least, not to be alienated by it.
* Projek Semai is purely a community art project, it is on voluntary basis and support is always welcomed.
