Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration Competition

In conjunction with the Mid-Autumn festival celebrations, an art competition was organised by Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum. The title of the art competition is "My Mid-Autumn Lantern Drawing and Design."

This competition is open to pupils aged between seven to twelve

years old from three selected schools. A total of 300 white lanterns were sent to the participating schools and talented pupils were invited to draw and design on the lanterns using their creativity.

All lanterns designed by the pupils were then sent back and adorned along the glass-covered walkway around the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. The display of lanterns will be from 8th of September to 25th of September '07. All children from the participating schools are encouraged to vote for their favourite lantern design by taking part in the "Vote for your Favourite Lantern" contest from the group of pre-selected lanterns. The lantern with the most number of votes will emerge the winner and stand to win attractive prizes.

Digital Photography And Collage Art

The Art Department organised an Art encrichment course during the June holidays. The participants which consisted of students from P4 and P5 classes learned how to handle the digital camera during the 3-day course. They also learned how to take good shots with the digital camera. Their good shots were transformed into creative art work through the use of the photomix software. The participants put their skill and creative ideas into the artwork. You can see some of their creative work in this blog.

Tissue paper flower art workshop

An art workshop was conducted for our teachers in August. Our trainer was none other than our own colleague, Mdm Vijaya. The teachers had their hands literally full with using tissue paper to make their own paper flowers. It was indeed both a therapeutic and enriching experience for all participants.
