In this mixed media and paint school program, young children will be supported to explore and delve into different artmaking techniques to create 2-dimensional art pieces that tell unique stories.
Jo Wong Hoyee has years of experience guiding artmakers of all ages and abilities to develop person-centred projects as a visual art educator and creative arts therapist. Jo specialises in drawing, painting, illustration, printmaking and photography and practises artmaking in freehand, tech-aided, pigment-based and on-screen formats.
Lesson #1
Using simple shape cutouts, learners are guided to trace their selection on their A4 paper to make simple compositions. Coloured papers, markers and paints will then be used to colour the marked areas. Examples of abstracted/simplified art from art deco period will be shown to help with understanding basic visual art terms.
Lesson #2
Learners will be guided to draw simple shapes with thick dark lines followed by filling in the delineated areas with marks of various colours, patterns, torn papers etc. Examples from the pop art era will be shown.
Lesson #3
Stamping and collage will be the focus of this action-filled lesson when learners will be aided to make their own printed design which will then be cut and paste into forming an image of their choice. Textile art will be used as examples this time.
Lesson #4
Mixing a range of colours using the 3 primary colours will be introduced and practised by the young learners. The paints will then be applied to a drawing made earlier in the lesson.
Lessons #5-8
Repeat lessons 1-4 but on different subject matters, content choices and materials options. A range of modern art examples will be used to inspire learners with diverse interests. Learners will then be guided towards telling a story that utilise what was learned in the shape/composition exercise, patternmaking session, collage/assemblage and colour mixing lessons.
