Children's Garden at 8Q

The Singapore Art Museum is doing it again! This week the Art Garden: Children's Season opens for the mid year holidays and we're definitely proud to be participating this year as filmmakers. There are so many creative displays that are interactive. The best part of it is that some of art work is nostalgic to my generation. There's like a life size paper doll display that resembles a paper doll assignment I did when I was in Primary school. It's really nice to see that there's so much art work done, majority by true blue Singaporean locals (these days, that fact has to be grossly emphasized) for kids' learning. It's not just the quantity but that there's so much interactivity and creativity for the kids to explore. To be honest, the films are the least interactive. But they tell stories that the kids would understand and are able to relate with. It's the first year that films are introduced as part of the Children's Season. If it is well received, films will be commissioned every year for public display.
