MOE Secondary School Project Management Activities. Unleashing Creativity, Exploring the Benefits of Art Education.

Unleashing Creativity: Exploring the Benefits of Art Education

Honored to be engaged for School Activities Year 2021, 2022 and 2023. It was an awesome event where we guide the students making their school identity using clay. These activities help initiate contact with others, communicate, share ideas and listen while working and collaborating to complete the group projects. These activities give learners another language for expressing their thoughts, ideas and emerging working theories to meet targeted missions.

Art education can greatly enhance project management skills by incorporating clay art activities. Secondary school students and college-level individuals can tap into their creativity and develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Fun With Artz Business understands the potential of art education in project management and strives to provide engaging experiences for students and young professionals.

Encouraging Creative Project Management:

Integrating clay art into project management activities allows students to think creatively and produce visually captivating projects. Secondary school students can brainstorm ideas, experiment with clay, and create unique representations that demonstrate their creative ownership. College-level individuals can break away from traditional methodologies, exploring their artistic abilities while applying project management principles.

Developing Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills:

Project management clay art activities foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students learn to analyze project objectives, evaluate risks, and make informed decisions. They navigate complex requirements, balancing artistic vision with project constraints. These activities enhance their ability to think critically and make informed choices.

Fostering Collaboration and Communication:

Clay art projects promote collaboration and effective communication. Students engage in teamwork, actively listen to others, and contribute to collective decision-making. College-level individuals develop essential skills for future professional environments, including effective communication and the ability to lead collaborative projects.

Conclusion:

Art education in project management clay art activities empowers students and young professionals. Fun With Artz Business provides opportunities to unleash creativity, develop critical thinking, and foster collaboration. By integrating art education into project management, students gain valuable skills that will benefit them academically and professionally.

狮城有约 | 新视角 新发现：微缩模型重现今昔狮城风貌

 

新加坡食品象征了新加坡的文化，代表我们的身份。 我们可以更好地了解我们日常生活中熟悉的食物。

对我来说最大的挑战是每一个新作品，我需要重新设计构思食物的颜色自己搭配。

目前已经制作了有超过20多种本地美食。

选择大众比较熟知的美食是因为这是新加坡的文化，让本地和海外的朋友都会回想联想起。这是新加坡的美食。让认识何热爱新加坡美食的朋友们看了都想吃，想拥有。 

这些食物大多都在小贩中心可以看到，小贩美食是新加坡的一种特色. 我觉得鱼圆面，是新加坡特色。就跟马来西亚的做法不一样。特别具有新加坡特色。还有杂菜饭，因为杂菜饭比较接近家常便饭，也比较健康，就可以选择自己喜爱的蔬菜或肉类。你可以选择清蒸鱼或煎炸。我本身会比较注重健康，所以我比我会选择多蔬菜，还有清蒸鸡蛋。本地美食代表了新加坡的文化，我们有各种种族，每一个种族都会有自己的家乡美食。

近年来本地人就比较想，支持，本地艺术家，都会经常订做本地所制作的作品。

多年来，我都有很多海外的顾客都会在网站上面和我联系订购制作新加坡的美食，有鱼圆面，卤面，印度煎饼， 辣沙面等等。 把它们制作做成耳弯和戒指带去聚会。她们都说朋友带了出门朋友都很赞美首饰很新加坡风味，很想念新加坡的美食。赞👍！

Parent-Child Clay Workshop

 

We had a fun activity today with Sparkletots teachers, parents and child Virtual Clay workshop today.

In this session we made a clay cake into a magnet, A fruit puff as a photo holder and Bread Keychain. The children are thrilled with what they can make the clay into with their hands!

We really appreciate all the parents who put their time hands-on working with their children throughout under the guidance of our trainer through zoom session. 

Playing with Clay is Great for children's Development.

It helps develops coordination and motor skills, extend attention span, boosts self-esteem, builds imagination. and its super therapeutic for parents to relieve stress

One of my Virtual Miniature Food Craft session. We were making one of our Singapore hawker food Fried Carrot Cake during the circuit breaker period. We were hoping everything resumes soon but it seems some of the crafters also enjoy crafting in this way. They dont have to travel, just arrange for materials to arrive and we arrange a session soon when we have our materials ready.

Clay Kits to begin

Some essential materials to begin with. Modena Clay transparent for miniature food crafting, Multi-purpose glue, stainless steel duo side clay cutter use for air dry or oven baked polymer clay, even ceramic work and some miniature ceramic serving ware to begin with for mini food crafting. 

If you want to look for some inspirations, you can watch my free demos. I am sure you can find many other free sharing clay videos all over the internet too.

Polymer Clay

During this Circuit breaker period makes you look for a new skill, probably you want to get your hands on some craft that is easy to pick up without any prior experience. You can still purchase Clay online. There is different types of polymer clay that can be used for crafting. If you just want to pick up a new hobby that requires not much of investment . Consider air dry clay and after getting used to the materials and you wish to experiment on different types of Clay, its always not too late to venture more.

Modena is air dry clay, soft & flexible. Dries with translucent & waterproof. Virtually unbreakable. It can be used to create colored clay by mixing acrylic and oil paints. All paints and varnish are also accepted. Basically the clay requires no varnishing unless you need your work to look glossy or oily. 

It is ideal for making flowers, lamp shade with the translucent light, macaroon, and Japanese sweets called "Wagashi". It is non-toxic. You can use a bond or water to join the cured modena pieces.
Do not mix it with stone clays, oil clays, or wood formo.

【Caution】
Modena series clay contains high percentage of resin and it makes easier to be affected by the temperature. Therefore, Modena Series clays cannot be stocked in the condition of under 0 degree.
Proper storage temperature is 5-25 degree.

Modena 250grams Translucent Clay

There are definitely a lot of video tutorials out there on how to use clay to sculpt what you like.

Most of my works are miniature food and Clay animals. I have made some clay dolls too. I prefer books more as it explains details and its just easier to refer and improvise from. I draw my inspirations every source I can find through google and also lots of pdf tutorials I pin on my pinterest board I can share.

I started collecting  Japanese Craft Book written by Japanese Crafters and Teachers, some of my favourite artists are Mayu Sakiguchi Nunu's House (handmade miniature1/12) produced by Tomo Tanaka ミニチュア. Now some of the Japanese Craft books have been translated to Chinese prints and its easier for me to read the names of the colors and materials. Their books have clear photographs basically you do not need to be able to read Japanese to understand their techniques.

DIY Bubble Tea Making During Covid19-Circuit B period

By the time she reached the bubble tea shops after work everything already closed.

On the day when Bubble Tea needed to be closed many people ran down to get their last grab, and my sister was one of them. She was not so lucky enough to get any though., that made my girl wanted to make a cup for her. She googled for some recipes and ran down to get Tapioca starch and the necessary ingredients.


This is what we use.

Bubble tea
INGREDIENTS for pearls
180ml water
90g black sugar
295g tapioca starch, 

INGREDIENTS for Milk Tea
375ml of water
5 tea bags (15g)
3 Tbs black sugar syrup
200g tapioca pearls in black sugar syrup
450ml low-fat milk
12 cubes of ice

Cooking pot 
Sieve
Bowl
Cup & Straw

Few days later ST made a full video on How to the Make the Bubble Tea as well and viola of course all Tapioca Starch is sold out everywhere. Thankfully, we grab ours fast, and also we just need to make that once.

Homemade Organic non fattening Bubble Milk Tea. Although its non fattening, I control the amount of caffeine intake per day. Max is One coffee in the morning One Tea in the afternoon before 4pm.

We added Organic Raw Coco Powder, thus we skipped the artificial colorings. We wanted a non fattening Bubble Milk Tea for our family. During this circuit breaker period, we had full access to our kitchen, we really need to be very careful with what we add into our homemade food.

Boiling the hand rolled tapioca pearls

Tapioca Pearls are fully Cooked now we soaked in cooled filtered water so that they wont stick together in lumps.

Last step is to boil hot water add 3 tea bags into the boiled water and wait for the tea to cool a little to about 75 degrees celsius and add our non fattening organic milk. There is quite a variety to choose from Cold Storage.

Miniature food workshop- Bakuteh

A Chinese soup commonly found on the streets of Singapore. Bak Kut Teh肉骨茶 is a dish which all Singaporeans loves. This can be commonly found at Kopitiam and coffee shop. Literally translated as “meat bone tea”, Bah Kut Teh consists of meaty pork ribs simmered in a complex broth of herbs and spices. ... In Singapore, there are two styles of Bak kut teh served. While Teochew version features clear soup with peppery taste, Klang version has thick, cloudy soup with herbal taste. In our lion city, clear soup is more popular than the  herbal soup. This set of work is made using oven-baked clay, as the texture of the pork rib took me 1 least an hour to draw out and piecing them together. Even the bones need to pre baked first before I sculpt on the meat.
