What is art?
Part of everyday life
As a trim, seen as nonessential or elitist
Valuable commodity
Visual communication through elements of color, line, shapre, and texture instead of words
Why is art important for young children?
A child’s art belongs to the child
No adult interpretation or descriptions can, or should, describe what a child has created
Part of child’s own process of communication and creativity
The first mark made with a crayon, dips a brush into paint or glued coloured circles onto the paper is the birth of a creative process
Child freely experience the sheer pleasure of getting to know himself in a new way, self-expression
Fundamental growth of a child
Integration of many skills and basic experiences
Hehehe… Classes started already but I’m so lazy to update my notes here.
My class is every Tuesday morning and Sunday afternoon. Missed one Tuesday class last week because I was in Singapore having fun ;p
Now I’m back and I’m not motivated to update yet.
We’ll see how by then.
No semester break. Class will start this Sunday. I’m exempted from taking the Saturday’s class. So in other words, I will be having only Sunday classes for the coming semesters until this year end.
I decided to take up one subject from the full time class so that I can at least complete one more subject and might be able to shorten the course for maybe one semester.
If on normal circumstances, we will be doing 2 subjects each semester but not these two coming semesters due to the Saturday classes. For my case, it means I will only be doing 1 subject per semester. At least by taking this one subject from full time class, I’m doing 3 subjects in 2 semesters.
Full time class has more hours of class and more number of classes. I heard the teaching is using dual language -.-” I hope I’m not bored by then *LOL* I’ve been so used of doing distant/supported/electronic learning, lots of flexibility. Now, once a week, I have to adjust to full time student mode. It’s been a long long time no being a full-time student.
However, I will be missing the first class next week as I’ll be away.
Oh well… Don’t care… So long I got to take another subject and shorten my course since I’m exempted from 3 subjects.
Exam in less than one week time!
Busy studying, lots and lots of thing to study -.-” Lots of theories, I hate theories. Still have to study and lots of memorizing are required.
No semester break this semester, class will start the coming weekend after exam.
I’ve been in the course for one year already. Time sure flies…
