In last week’s art lesson, our students were asked to look closely at the objects around them and turn what they saw into art.
Our elementary students focused on drawing real objects such as globes, cups, scissors, pencil cases, etc. They practised observing shapes and forms while learning the basics of pencil shading and gradation.
Meanwhile, junior and senior high students explored colour and gradation using acrylic paint. Their subject was simple: a leaf placed in front of them. As they began painting, each student brought their own interpretation to the art paper.
Different colours, brushstrokes, shapes, and details appeared across their work.
The activity showed students that art is not about making every picture look exactly the same as the object they see. It is about observing, experimenting, and expressing what they see in their own way: it’s called artistic licence!
Sometimes, the most interesting part of an art lesson is discovering how differently each child sees the same thing. 🌿🎨
Swipe to see how our students are learning to observe, experiment, and express themselves through art!
