P2 students and above start to appreciate and value art based on its ‘realistic’ qualities. This is due to growth in their logical thinking abilities. To make use of this natural interest, we introduce more drawing and painting techniques according to individual understanding. We also guide students in how to apply visual information to observe, interpret, and make choices to best create their art pieces.

Art materials for drawing sessions are varied, including pencils, charcoal, pastel, markers, etc. This variety encourages students to make judgments on suitable materials for the artwork they wish to create. When we paint with oils, students will explore the subjects’ form, shades, perspective and composition, through experimenting with colours and brushstrokes.
