Artist of the day

Spent half a day....managed to create a lovely murale on our school's stage. My school is hosting the R19 Kelompok's RIMUP programme this Saturday. FYI to those who aren't in the teaching line, RIMUP is a specially design programme to promote integrity among the three races of Malaysia.
This RIMUP programme is intended to create a safe space for the exchange and sharing of ideas, facilities, equipment, expertise and personnel between the different school communities, including teachers and parents.

The philosophy behind it is to enhance race unity. Therefore, 9 schools from our Kelompok comprising of Malay, Chinese and Tamil schools (both Primary and Secondary) will be invited to this programme.


Apart from this RIMUP programme, we'll be having a "Makan Party" which comprises of food and recipes of the three races.........Therefore, we teachers and students will indulge in this makan session with our hungry stomachs.

Yours truly is in charge of the stage decor. Haha...am not the "Eric Leong" thing, don't even have any of his talents. But my boss assigned me to take charge of the stage. Therefore, I teamed up with 3 other teachers and we decided to have the bottom portion of the stage wall painted with flowers. We intend to have a garden theme of sort.

With some pencils and chalks, I drew outlines of flowers, grass and butterflies. Initially it looked like kindie's masterpiece. But after some colouring and shading, it does turn out great. From far, it looked good...really. The stricking colours do stand out. Let the pictures do the talking.

This Friday, I'll put up the backdrops andplace some flower pots surounding the stage. My team members are still harvesting the alphabets made of styrofoams in the library. Once, thery're ready, we'll paste the wordings on the stage using Powerful adhesive tapes. This time around, we decided to go "cloth-less" , meaning we're not going to place any curtains or kain for the backdrops. The cloth materials cum curtain are messy and difficult to maintain. I discussed with my boss last week that we intend to draw a permanent murale at the bottom of the stage and she agrees. Compared with my previous boss whom fancies curtains and railings....my new boss is a simple lady. She wants a simplier stage decor. Good thing for me...as I'm not an artisan.

This is the first part of my decor. Partially done. Take a good look at the bottom of the stage wall. The lovely floral design which took us half a day to complete.



Will post the 2nd part tmrow.
