The Schoolhouse – Prinsep
Small Dream Big Project 2023: Art Exhibition
The Schoolhouse by Busybees - Prinsep embarked on this year’s Start Small Dream Big Project on the theme ‘Many Helping Hands, Caring for Everyone’.
With the objective of giving back to the society, we embarked on a journey to raise funds for the less fortunate. Working hand in hand with FILOS Community Services’ programmes, the children created adaptations of art pieces from famous artist’s such as “Vincent Van Gogh”, “Claude Monet” and “Paul Klee” and many more. Each art piece was sold at a starting price of S$30.00.
In preparation leading up to the opening of the exhibit, we transformed part of our school and turned it into a fun and inviting Art Exhibition type setting! Parents were then invited into the school and were engaged in an immersive experienced to view the masterpieces of the children from infants up to k2’s, together with their child. The many delicate moments of children conversing about their art pieces to their parents, as well as the interactions shared in between were beautiful to observe.
To include digitalisation and ICT awareness, each art piece was also attached with a QR code of video and audio notes of the child’s explanation of their art piece. These art pieces not only portray the children’s talents and hard work but most importantly provide the platform for their voices, thoughts, and ideas to be heard.
All in all, the children had an immersive and fun experience in this Art Exhibition with FILOS Community which has been dedicated to support the less fortunate. We enjoyed meaningfully involving the children in each step of creating their art pieces. Most importantly, exposing them to the element of FUN! We hope more fruitful opportunities to foster the power of ‘giving back’, to change the course of the children of our future.
Until next time,
Team Prinsep
