• Over the past few weeks in AP Arts, our dedicated learners have engaged in enriching workshops that have allowed them to explore a diverse range of artistic mediums while deepening their understanding of the fundamental elements of art.

• Throughout this period, they have been introduced to a captivating array of techniques, including subtractive charcoal drawing, expressive impasto painting, intricate linocut printmaking, the art of ideation, and the fascinating world of mixed media explorations.

Learning Labs

Fab Lab

• In FabLab, our learners have been actively engaged in crafting their unique fabric designs, serving as creative expressions of their chosen cultures and personal values.

• Recently, they participated in an engaging workshop focusing on mark-making and pattern creation, employing linocut and ink techniques.

• They also ventured into the world of textile transformation, experimenting with various fabric dyeing and bleaching methods, and gaining a deeper insight into the production process.

• Importantly, they also honed their skills in assessing risks and mitigating hazards during these experiments, promoting a safe and responsible approach to their creative endeavors.

• To supplement their compositional skills, the students also had the opportunity to explore tessellation during one of our workshops, further enriching their artistic toolbox.

• Our students immersed themselves in the world of expressive abstract art, acquiring the ability to communicate complex emotions and sentiments through non-representational imagery, a valuable skill that transcends the need for literal figures and subjects.

• As we conclude this productive week, our learners are not only applying their newfound artistic skills but also enhancing their writing abilities.

• They are formulating compelling questions, crafting well-structured claims, supporting them with evidence, and providing sound reasoning to guide their creative journey.

• This multidisciplinary approach ensures a holistic development of their technical and critical thinking skills; and a strong sense of responsibility when conducting creative experiments.
