Topic: Critical Thinking Through Visual Art
Time: 8 to 9 pm (Singapore Time)
Our teachers "don't just teach kids to draw and paint"; they make them "better thinkers through art". In this session, participants will find out how to use art to build critical thinking skills for children aged 4 to 6. Our resource speakers will demonstrate various art techniques and vocabulary to help children look at, create and analyse art.
