INTENT : Art fiestas are an effective way to celebrate the vibrancy of creativity . The themefor this year was ‘Altawasul Bealalwan– Colourful Connections’. The event aimed to foster creativity and innovation among young students, besides being a fantastic opportunity for them to showcase their artistic talents.
EXPERIENCE: There were a total of 13 schools, including Credence High School, that participated in the event. 10 students from each school, 5 each from KG2 and Grade 1, accompanied by two teachers, enthusiastically participated in the event. Students from different schools were put together in groups so they could do the activity together. This gave them the opportunity to bond and make new friends. KG 2 students worked with cardboard cut-outs and made animal figures by pasting colourful paper on them. Grade 1 on the other hand got to paint some beautiful designs in the most vibrant hues on wooden colour palettes.
INSIGHT: It presented a wonderful chance for students from various schools to mingle. Such hands- on activities encourage children to express themselves creatively. It also builds on collaboration and social interaction as children work on group art projects togetherto create a larger piece of artwork.This encourages communication, cooperation and teamwork.
