E reflection 6

 This week has been really fun and really tiring cause of the amount of walking added together for this whole week.

This week, i went to the SAM museum and my very first Art Camp in school ! I made new friends and had a good time there even though i was a little sick ><

SAM Museum

So for one of my modules, we were told to go to SAM museum to get some pictures for our presentation for next week. When we went there, it was exhibiting the sensorium360 which overall showcases artworks which require all of our senses like sight, smell, hearing and touch.

I was really impressed with how creative the artists were in involving the audience to play a part with the exhibition.

I really liked the laser light show cause it was as if we were trapped in a box in the darkness and it looks as if we will get burnt when u try to get out of the laser box!! I was actually scared but this was really fun.

Then theres another exhibition which showcases mostly on smell. there was a row full of bottles with different smells. All of the bottle are labelled with colours, from the lightest colour to the darkest purple. All of the smells are probably spices because some were familiar smelling while others are really really pungent, making my eyes tear up really badly. We had to smell coffee beans to get back our sense of smell again! ><

Then theres also a very interesting structure made out of delicate intricate glasses with designs on it. There were spotlights surrounding around the structure which made delicate shadows on the floor ! It is really creative and i really liked it a lot!

Then we got to write on some silver round paper about how we feel during the entire exhibition!

it was quite neat and i hope there will be such exhibition for us again!!

CAMP - NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED

So.... later in the week, i went for a camp which i have signed up with my friends in my school! I was quite reluctant to go but it feels like a once in a life time opportunity for me to see new people from other classes and other departments!

I do not have any photos for the first day as the camp started really late at night and i was just warming up to my new peers!

DAY 2 OF THE ARTSY CAMP- still not fit for the faint hearted

So there were some activities for us to choose from, like Batik, Dance, Graffiti, Caricature and Senior Talks!! BUT U KNOW WHAT I CHOSE!!!

I have always taken interest in Graffiti but knowing that its somewhat illegal in singapore, I do not have a chance to try my hands at graffiti.

Graffiti to me is a form of expression to voice what teenagers really want to say as they do not have a chance to do that due to the nature of singaporeans and their upbringings.

After a lecture by the instructor, i finally got a chance to do it right behind my school!!! I was quite hesitant to do it but soon i got the hang of it and sprayed the word 'phoenix' on the pink wall!

Why phoenix? The reason why i did that is because i love the character Phoenix or known as Jean Grey from the Marvel Xmen series, she's powerful but inside her real self is fighting the demonic dark phoenix who is ruining her life and killing those she loves.

I did a cloudy effect to showcase the flight of the phoenix as she has colour codes and costumes which is either green, white and red. She is mostly made of fire, hence the orangey red words.

I signed my name at the corner but my name is far too big for the wall to handle.

Then we were given glow rings to put around ourselves! yeah!

The ones who took on the dance activity had to do a dance segment for the entire camp to see!! IT IS REALLY CATCHY and they are full of energy though it is very tiring for them since none of them had a full sleep last night!

After the entire camp, We were given a certificate for completing the entire camp in one piece! We were also given a badge to symbolised we are survivors of this gruelling camp!!! 

SOME RANDOM PHOTOS!

WE PAINTED OUR FACES AND WE LOOK FUNNY WALKING DOWN THE STREET!

I really had lots of fun with my team ... THE PINK FUNKS!!!! though we completed 4th in the team challenges but at least we weren't last! I made lots of new friends with my team and i hope we get to see each other again! and for the existing friends i have in the same team, we bonded a lot and are much closer!! The OLs were really nice towards us and encourage us to do it to the best of my abilities!

Just to end this... I really hope theres more camps again cause this experience made me a lot stronger and happier.... YEAY<3
