May – July 2019
Art for Good collaborated with the National Library Board of Singapore (Toa Payoh Branch) for a series of 3 drawing classes at the library level 3 programmes room. The classes were open to the public and our volunteers brought the children from our Art Outreach Program to attend the classes. The children from our Art Outreach program are from low-income families living in one-room rented flats in Toa Payoh. The initiative of our Art Outreach Program is to use art to bring more attention to the poverty situation in Singapore.
2 June 2019 – The second drawing class
The second class allowed the children to explore their creativity and learn the fundamentals of basic drawings. The children created cute animal drawings of a mouse, cow and seal. They got the chance to make use of their creativity by adding their own designs to personalize their animals. They gave their characters names and some even made their own stories about the characters they had created. As the community art project was done in the library, we wanted to have a storytelling element in the class.
The children were very creative in their approach and drew sublimely well!
