Big idea: “How do artists get ideas from nature and the world around them?”
In this module, our young artists delved into the vibrant world of Singaporean batik art. Using child-friendly cold wax and batik dyes on paper, they bring to life majestic creatures and abstract collages. With careful linework and brush control, they discover the magic of wax-resist techniques and the beauty of blending primary colours.
