Housekeeping: Paper Marche Letters

Hi Teachers! I really like the 3D cardboard letters to brighten things up. These letters are light enough to be adhered to by Blutac or simply prop them up against a plain background.

Housekeeping: Topping up White Glue

Hi Teachers! White glue is my go-to art material (after scissors) because they make crafts stay on for a long time. The longer drying time compensates for its function. I no longer use those commercial small bottles of white glue. At least not in school but I personally still do. The caps get clogged easily and it is also time consuming to top up many bottles with a narrow neck. I recycle these small containers which used to contain air-dry clay. As these containers are not air-tight, I just half-fill them with white glue. The last time these were used with glitters, it created quite a mess so I let the last bit of glue dry up over the school vacation and clean them up by tearing them off! You heard it right, watch the video to see how it's done.

Art Class: Let's Make Rainbow Book

Hi Teachers! I took the first lesson of this term to make something fun with the students. Once the basic steps are acquired, there are many variations that can be created! You can even add glitter or coloured beads on the cover. Only simple materials are needed. Give it a try!

Art Class: Virtual Art Exhibition (SYF 2021)

 

Hi Teachers! I've explored some platforms to create virtual art exhibition. It was really hard to navigate initially but I finally decided on Artsteps. It's a free app. Depending the interface, you can use the app on the iPad to view art exhibition but not to create one. I used my laptop and do note that it uses more memory than usual so if it runs slower on the laptop, the RAM on the laptop could be insufficient. My screen recording of students' work is above. The opening event is here and selected artworks for special mention is here.
