Beliefs and superstitions concepts are often manifested through a rich visual imagery that attempts to represent otherworldly presences. Our imagination and instincts give form to that what is invisible, which can also be imagined to exist within ourselves. This artist-run workshop developed for children aged 7 to 12 explores the invisible force within us that can be seen as the ‘fighting spirit,’ the strength that keeps us going. Participants will be introduced to stencil techniques, as well as the dripping and sponging techniques of action painting.
This children’s workshop is part of the public programmes for “Ghosts and Spectres – Shadows of History,” the current exhibition at NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore.
