Name of Artwork: Waterfall Description: This is a painting of a waterfall. A place of relaxation and rejuvenation since now PSLE is over. I would imagine myself being there. Name of Artist: CharisseInput from Creative Instructor: Charisse has been a student in the DAS since she was in Primary 2. She is now in Primary 6 I have seen her almost every week throughout her fours years here. I enjoyed every chats I had with Charisse - she is a very mature and insightful girl. I came to know about her interest in painting when her teacher, Miss Soleha mentioned that she has been asking about the paintings she seen in the classrooms. Charisse has agreed to help us paint and her piece was titled The Waterfall. She shared that this piece shows a place of relaxation and rejuvenation, which is a great depiction of how she feel right after the major exam , PSLE. Input from DAS MLP Educational Therapist: Charisse has always been interested in the Arts. She doodles a lot on her worksheets which was when I noticed her interest in drawing. However, that does not mean she is not paying attention. She is able to balance between working hard in her studies and also having fun with the arts and her other interests.Charisse is very fortunate to have an amazing support from her mom and her family to explore the areas that she is interested in. Charisse is nothing but a joy to have in my class throughout the whole 5 years she had been in the DAS. I cannot wait to see the things that she will achieve in the future. |

Name of Artwork: Mountains Name of Artist: Joseph Input from DAS MLP Educational Therapist: Joseph has grown so much over the years that he has been with me in the DAS. He has achieved tremendous success not only in his academics but also in his interests in various activities such as archery and the Arts. He attends various art classes and workshops in NAFA during his free time. He has the amazing support of his parents to hone his talent for the Arts. Although Joseph may seem playful, he puts in a lot of thought for this art piece that he had come up with. It is a meaningful piece for him that marks the end of his trying year with the PSLE. |

Name of Artwork: Cotton Candy Input from Creative Instructor: Lycole is a student of mine in our Main Literacy Programme (MLP) classes. She has been in my class as young as Primary One. Her passion and enthusiasm for Art can be seen in our daily work. She would doodle whenever she can or when I talk about anything about Arts, she would be smiling. Ever since signing up for the first Art workshop, Lycole has been in every Artventure workshop that cater to her level. I could really feel her enthusiasm before, during and after the workshop. It was certainly a joy to have Lycole in class. I truly look forward to working with her again. |

Name of Artwork: Snowman Input from Creative Instructor: Cheyenne is a student of mine in our Main Literacy Programme (MLP) classes. Her passion and enthusiasm for Art can be seen in our daily work. I could see her eyes sparkle when I shared with her about a painting session for the DAS. Cheyenne has been in three of the many Art workshops conducted here in the DAS. As soon as the workshop ends, she would ask if there will be another upcoming one. I was and still am truly grateful that she enjoyed herself throughout the workshops. It is fun working with Cheyenne as she is creative and has strong determination in everything she does. I look forward to working with her again. |

Name of Artwork: Before I Knew Input from Creative Instructor: Matilda is a student of mine in our Main Literacy Programme (MLP) classes. If my memory serves me well, Matilda mentioned that she wants to be an artist in the future. It was inspiring for me as I recall myself having this dream when I was young. It is apparent that Matilda enjoys the process of art-making. She has volunteered to help me with the decoration of my notice board as well as being excited about my next art project. Matilda created this painting, Before I knew, which she described as the state of mind she had before knowing that she was dyslexic. “It was messy and hectic at that time”, she said. I am thankful that it has been clearer and easier for her after being in the DAS. |

Name of Artwork: Deer Sun represents the light while moon represents darkness. This deer is to represent growth and persistence. To stay strong in life and no matter how hard you had to try your best. Name of Artist: Nur SyazwanInput from Creative Instructor: I met Syazwan when he was in Secondary 1 after being with another Educational Therapist (Ed.T). A little apprehensive at first, new secondary school, new teachers and Ed.T, new classrooms, I did not know his passion and talent in Arts until much later. Having seen his doodles during class one day, we talked about sketches, paintings and his favourite style - the zentangle (creating beautiful images by drawing structured patterns). He then showed me various projects he has done in school. It was impressive! This started a constant Art-related conversation before and after class. Syazwan has volunteered to paint two pieces for the DAS, Dream and Dream Big. Both with the focus on dreams and the future. Seeing how Syazwan has progressed, I am confident that he will be a very successful artist in the future. |
