Creative Journeys Through Visual Arts @SGPS
Through a rich variety of visual arts experiences, our Gabrielites explored creativity, self-expression, and art appreciation in meaningful and engaging ways. From illustrating the values of Leaders, Sportsmen, and Achievers through drawings, to crafting mosaic coasters with creativity and precision, students developed confidence, perseverance, and artistic expression. Museum visits and the National Gallery’s Roving Art Studio further enriched their learning as they experienced artworks firsthand and gained a deeper appreciation of Singapore’s artistic heritage. These experiences nurtured imagination, collaboration, and aesthetic awareness, empowering students to become future-ready Gabrielites who express ideas creatively and appreciate diverse perspectives through art.
Patterns of Heritage, Colours of Life
Through the Primary 2 Peranakan Art and Primary 5 Batik Art programmes, students explored Singapore’s rich cultural heritage through vibrant colours, traditional motifs, and hands-on artistic experiences. From Peranakan-inspired patterns to batik painting techniques, students developed creativity, patience, precision, and artistic expression while gaining a deeper appreciation for multicultural traditions. By connecting heritage with modern creativity, these meaningful art experiences nurtured culturally aware and future-ready Gabrielites who value inclusivity, innovation, and respect for diverse identities.
Digital Creativity, Boundless Imagination Unleashed
Primary 3 to 6 students explored Tayasui Sketches App with creativity, self-expression, and innovation while developing confidence in using technology as a creative tool. From imaginative digital designs to nature-inspired artworks, students experimented with colours, textures, layering, and digital techniques on iPads to bring their ideas to life. These hands-on experiences nurtured artistic expression, digital literacy, adaptability, and collaboration, empowering students to become future-ready Gabrielites who embrace creativity and innovation in a technology-driven world.
