Place-based Learning

Roving Art Truck

How would it be like to encounter art on a truck? Follow Thumbs Up to visit the Roving Art Truck parked at Park View Primary! A colourful art truck has arrived at Park View Primary. Packed within the truck is an exhibition of 10 paintings by local and South East Asia artists, and students are able to see them all at one go.

9 year old Devi Sravanthi is one of the first few to step foot on the Roving Art Truck. She heard about the truck previously and was eagerly waiting for it to arrive in school. When the truck came, she rushed to visit the exhibition during her recess time.

Sravanthi’s ambition was to become an artist when she grows up. She said, “I have never visited the National Gallery and have only seen art exhibitions on videos. The experience of listening to the commentator explaining about the stories behind every artwork, is a very enriching one.”

10 years old Jaylen Wong Yi Cong has the opportunity to visit the museum once every year. Earlier this year, he has also participated in the virtual tour organised by the National Gallery, hence he is able to identify many of the artworks on the Roving Art Truck.

He said, “The experience of seeing an artwork virtually and seeing it in real is very different. The gallery is a very quiet space and that creates an experience. Also, the artworks in reality are actually very huge and majestic.”

Other than paintings, there is an art wall for students to express themselves and leave comments and thoughts after their visit. The art wall will be left behind for the school when the truck leaves for another destination.

Head of Aesthetics Miss Lim Hwee Tin felt that this exposure is just the tip of an iceberg and she hopes this experience would spark the interest in art for students and open the doors to more art activities.

Primary 4 Museum-based Learning

The museum-based learning is a core learning experience for our P4 students. The museum provides an authentic context for the learning of local art, Singapore’s history and heritage. Through the pre-, during- and post-visit experiences, the students are involved as artists and audience to create and appreciate art.

Primary 6 Learning Journey to Dragon Kiln

The Primary 6 students visit Thow Kwang Dragon Kiln Pottery Jungle situated at Lorong Tawas as part of their post-exam activity. The LJ is also part of the school’s Aesthetics programme to expose students to the 3D art form and the rich heritage of the dragon kiln. During the tour, the students have the opportunity to view a variety of ceramic wares that show the different cultures and styles of Asia. The students immerse in the studio pottery environment whereby they are given clay to create their own artworks.

Excellence

Students celebrate their artistic efforts and achievements through Internal and external art exhibitions, projects, performances, competitions and events.

Art Outreach Community Outreach Programme through Recycled Art

Art Club members, in collaboration with the Green Ambassadors, carry out the yearly Community Outreach Programme through Recycled Art by reaching out to the kindergarten students to share with them the importance of environment conservation and how they can do their part to protect mother Earth.
