Week 2: WORLD HERITAGE ARTS & CRAFTS
AGE GROUP: K1 - G1 / G2 - G5
TIME: 9:00AM - 12:00PM
Information:
In this programme, students will create artworks inspired by world heritage through a variety of hands-on projects. They will design stained glass–style suncatchers, make pop-up greeting cards, sculpt heritage townhouses with jumping clay, and craft paper collage mosques. The programme fosters creativity, cultural appreciation, and artistic expression using diverse materials and techniques.
Day 1 - Stained Glass Paper Suncatcher
Introduction to the programme theme and objectives.
Draw a simple stained glass–style design (e.g. geometric shapes, flowers, or patterns) on black construction paper. Cut out the shapes carefully to create the “lead” frame.
Cut a clear plastic sheet to match the size of your frame.
Tear or cut coloured tissue paper into small pieces. Glue them onto the plastic sheet, overlapping slightly to create a stained glass effect.
Once dry, glue the black paper frame on top of the tissue-covered plastic sheet.
Neatly trim any excess edges.
Day 2 - Pop Up Greeting Card
Begin by learning basic watercolour and colour pencil techniques, including colour mixing.
On A4 cartridge paper, sketch the background design for your card.
On a separate sheet of cartridge paper, draw your chosen world heritage architecture and any additional decorative elements that will form the pop-up components.
Colour the background and pop-up elements. Gradually layer colours to build tone, texture, and depth.
Use colour pencils and markers to enhance contrast and add finer details as your illustrations develop.
Carefully cut out the pop-up shapes and attach them to the background to complete your world heritage–inspired pop-up card.
Day 3 - Jumping Clay Heritage Townhouses
Begin with an introduction to basic clay modelling techniques.
Students sketch their townhouse design on A4 copier paper, taking inspiration from world heritage architecture. Add colour using colour pencils to guide the clay work.
Using jumping clay, shape the main structure or base of the townhouse.
Sculpt smaller parts such as doors, windows, and chimneys. Use modelling tools to add textures and decorative elements.
Once the clay artwork is dried, use colour markers to draw or enhance fine details on the surface.
Day 4 - Paper Collage Mosques
Begin with an introduction to paper collage techniques.
Students draw their mosque design on cartridge paper and apply a base colour using watercolour. Allow it to dry.
While the base dries, students paint another sheet of cartridge paper to create textured paper for the collage.
Tear or cut the textured paper and paste it onto the painted base to form the mosque’s tile design.
Use colour pencils or markers to enhance details and complete the artwork.

This workshop encourages imagination, hands-on creativity, and sensory exploration — perfect for celebrating the magic of winter through art.
Day 1 - Paper Plate Snow Globe
Students will learn to draw a cute winter character of their choice and design a winter scene around it.
They will be introduced to colour mixing and acrylic painting techniques to create the background on a paper plate.
Next, students will draw, colour, decorate, and cut out their main character on cartridge paper, then paste it in the centre of the paper plate.
They will add beads and small torn pieces of paper to create a snow effect, then seal their design with a clear plastic sheet.
If time allows, students may decorate the frame of their snow globe for a finishing touch.
Day 2 - Scarf Selfie Printmaking Artwork
Students will be introduced to simple printmaking techniques to create textures for their knitted scarf, hat, and mittens.
They will draw their face and a simple winter background scene on A3 cartridge paper.
On another piece of cartridge paper, students will draw their knitted scarf, hat, and mittens, then cut out the shapes.
Using acrylic paint, students will paint the background and their face, as well as the base colours for the cut-out shapes.
Once dry, they will experiment with different materials (such as cardboard, plastic, tissue, and bubble wrap) to print textures onto their knitted accessories.
Finally, students will assemble and attach their printed scarf, hat, and mittens to the painted face on the A3 paper to complete their Scarf Selfie Printmaking Artwork.
Day 3 - Magnetic Ice Skating Figures
Design the artwork on A4 copier paper.
Paint the paper plate using watercolours to create the skating rink.
On cartridge paper, draw the skating figures and background elements such as trees.
Colour them using coloured pencils or markers, then cut them out.
Attach a magnet to the skater’s feet and another magnet to a popsicle stick.
Assemble the background elements on the skating rink.
Once complete, students can move their skaters around and enjoy playing with their magnetic ice skating figures!
Day 4 - Snowy Forest Collage with Aluminium Foil
Students will draw a winter forest scene on A3 cartridge paper using a pencil.
Apply watercolour to the A3 paper using the wet-on-wet technique to create a soft, wintry background.
Set aside and allow the painting to dry completely.
While waiting for the background to dry, students will tear, roll, and shape aluminium foil to form trees, snowy ground, and other forest details.
Once the watercolour background is dry, paste the aluminium foil pieces onto it to build the winter forest scene.
Use colour markers and pencils to enhance the artwork with extra details — such as tree textures, shadows, or falling snow.
Day 5 - Winterscape Jumping Clay Art
Roll and flatten clay to form the base of the winterscape.
Use tools to add textures like footprints, snow drifts, and ice patterns.
Shape the larger elements — a castle, cottage, or igloo — using jumping clay.
Add smaller parts such as walls, roofs, windows, and chimneys.
Enhance piece with 3D details like bricks, icicles, snow caps, and frosted edges.
Sculpt winter animals — foxes, rabbits, penguins, polar bears, or deer.
Give them charming accessories such as scarves, hats, or wings for a magical touch.
Gently press or attach the animals onto the base to complete your winterscape.
