Walls of Display

National Day can designs by our lower secondary pupils

The gallery for the past few days had been filled with cans and cans of limited edition soft drink designs (almost 200 of them) which were created by our lower secondary pupils especially to celebrate National Day. Took some time to sort through the better ones and to ultimately put them up in the spotlights but it was certainly worth it when everything went up. It is really quite a sight when the diversity of creative expressions is displayed collectively.

We have learnt to trust the good old 3M mounting tapes for such jobs as anything lesser (we have tried and we know) would have little chance of holding these three-dimensional pieces up for any decent amount of time. They are less difficult to remove too after the exhibition is over, although I am always hoping they will invent something which comes off the walls with even less effort when we wish to dismount the art pieces.

Vibrant red walls are seen everywhere

The pupils were quite excited to see their design pieces go up on display and I think that is always important, that they feel encouraged and gain confidence in expressing themselves through art making and get the validation for a good work done.
