I am so sorry. So busy with stuff yesterday. According to her :-

1. Fold paper into half. Cut along the line.
2. Fold one of the sheets (half sheet) until it about the size of 小书. Cut out the rectangle.
3. Cut a shape out of the rectangle.
4. Think and design pattern with the shape. Trace it repeatedly on the other half sheet of paper to make the pattern.
5. Repeat 3 more times with different shapes.

I know this is just too late. :imsorry:

Today, she says it will be batik painting.

Thank you very much,IJJ. Where is my son on last Monday's arts class. Daydreaming? Completely no ideal what did teacher say.

sorry I can't help too. I saw my son did his art over the weekend. But I hv no idea what it is about. Something about tessellations (sounds very \"chim\" to me). You know how he prevents the paper from becoming salted vege? just fold into half and chuck into bag. no art folio, nothing. :lol:[/quote]Mc Escher is famous for his tessellations art:

The P4 kids will learn tessellations in Math. Small topic under Geometry.

My boy also folds the paper into 1/2. I find the art folio a clumsy bag.

Sigh. I hope his dignity is still intact. Many kids will do wrongly if the instructions is not clear. What IJJ mentioned earlier didn't sound like tessellations to me as well.

So did they do batik painting today? I wonder how he teaches them?

I conducted a \"batik painting\" with my P5 class before. We folded serviettes or kitchen napkins as many times as we can. It can also be folded into any odd shapes. Then we dip the different corners of a folded napkin into different diluted poster colours. The corners will absorb the paint to parts of the napkin. Then we leave them to dry. When we opened up the napkin (very gently) and voila!! A beautiful piece of batik art.

Well, he clearly does not like the instructor nor the topic now. Just take it as a training for increasing the thickness of his face. Mr. Chin told the class he wants to see an improvement in the pupils' work at the end of the year.

There was not enough time to do batik painting. Becos many pupils did not do last Monday assignment correctly.

Yup, my girl told me about it. It so mean I think. Last time, my art work was pinned up by my art teacher because it was a 四不像 . I remember it till now. :roll:

They were supposed to touch on batik, but due to insufficient time, it was postponed.

If it is only my boy who had done the assignment wrongly, then it shld be my boy's inattentiveness that got him into this. BUT the issue seems to be the instructor's inability to make sure all pupils understand him clearly.

Anyway, I hv sent in a letter to the HOD Mr Tan. Let's wait for his reply.

My boy also told me Mrs Foo reads this ksp post. Hopefully she is aware of what we hv bn sharing abt this arts instructor and will look into this issue soon.

For those P3 children who went for the JB trip last yr, they would have learnt about batik painting. My son brought one batik painting back that day...

Next time, you may want to quote from KS forum. I am thinking of asking my girl to place less focus on the 'stupid' (pardon me!) art stuff. Next week is CA1 week!!!

You know, in everything my kids are learning, I welcome new skills taught. But not too challenging, to the extent of killing their interests. For that, I rather they learn in slower pace. W/o interest sustained, everything is nullified.
