Objectives of the Aesthetics Learning Journey
To strengthen students' positive self-concept by introducing them to various modes of expression beyond just written and verbal communication, drawing from diverse places of interest and experiences.
To offer students authentic learning experiences through the exploration and use of different art forms.
To build resilience in students by engaging them in planning, managing, and completing unfamiliar or challenging tasks through a variety of activities.
To nurture students' appreciation for Aesthetics.
Secondary 1 and Secondary 3 students will embark on a special Aesthetics Learning Journey that brings them closer to Singapore’s heritage through meaningful and enjoyable experiences. The programmes, titled Of Art, Fort, and Sport: A Katong–Kallang Tour and Hike It! @ Singapore River, highlight the stories behind our National Monuments and heritage sites while connecting art, culture, and physical expression in a creative and engaging way. Through these learning journeys, students will not only gain a deeper appreciation of Singapore’s cultural and historical landmarks but also strengthen their understanding of how art and the built environment shape our national identity. These experiences are designed to nurture curiosity, observation, and reflective thinking, while fostering teamwork and creative expression. Ultimately, the programme aims to inspire students to see their surroundings with fresh eyes and take pride in the vibrant cultural tapestry that defines Singapore.
Learning Journey to the Singapore National Gallery (Feb 2026)
Learning Journey to the Singapore National Gallery (Feb 2026)
Our Secondary 3 and 4 students visited National Gallery Singapore to experience Into the Modern: Impressionism from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, a landmark exhibition featuring iconic works by Monet and other Impressionist masters. During the visit, students closely observed the paintings to investigate how these artists used colour, light, and brushwork to capture modern life and the natural environment.
They engaged in guided visual investigations, responding to selected Monet works through sketching, note-taking, and discussion to deepen their understanding of Impressionist techniques. Students also participated in still life drawing and on-site sketching activities in the gallery spaces, applying what they had observed about composition and mark-making in the works of the great masters. This authentic museum-learning experience helped them connect classroom art lessons with real artworks, and inspired them to develop their own artistic voice.
