Art for Art's Sake
The Children's Version

Art Zone is proud to present "Art for Art's Sake", an art exhibition featuring art by children, as seen through their eyes.

We believe that children's art bring great joy not only to themselves, but also to others. Their masterpieces are created with great creativity and originality in the spirit of good fun, at a standard that even we adults struggle to achieve.

At "Art for Art's Sake", we invite you to take a step into the world of a child, where art is created with no hidden agenda or purpose in mind, but exist simply as .... Art for Art's Sake.

A total of 400 artworks and collaborative collages by children of age 3 to 13 will be showcased

We Love Art!
Expressions Beyond Words

Art is an exploration of feelings and emotions. We often use it to portray our thoughts, dreams and aspirations. Our moods and sentiments are also reflected and embedded in each art piece, making it unique and personal. Through regular practice, art can subconsciously bring us to a journey of self discovery and foster our connection to the world within and beyond .

In this exhibition the children’s imaginations are brought to life as they showcase their love for art through their candid and expressive art pieces. Their innocent, joyful and carefree spirit are conveyed in every piece through the choice of vibrant colours and confident strokes used. Each and every one of the art pieces has a story to tell, which evokes and stimulates specific emotions for the viewer to interprete.

Some people prefer to write their thoughts down, while others enjoy painting their thoughts. As the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words”, which makes the latter seems much easier and less complex. And that is why . . . .

Art is All Around
Creative Wonders by Young Minds

Art is an expression of one’s thoughts and emotions. It is often intended to connect and communicate one’s feelings. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, hence the open discussion an artwork may project. Nonetheless, it strikes a conversation amongst individuals sharing their views and opinions on what first captured their eyes.

Art Zone’s 3rd exhibition entitled "Art Is All Around" comprises of 2 sections; Fairytale and Nature. The Fairytale section is filled with dreams and fantasies of every child’s aspiration in finding creativity and exploration beyond their world. The nature section on the other hand, gave an awareness of reality and its surrounding beauty like a poetic ensemble.

The surrealism in each piece called for an imaginative interpretation of boundless concepts depicting the children’s thoughts through their artworks. Like wallpaper beautifying a room, these wonderful artworks will canvas the walls of the exhibition, making it vibrant and colourful. Each masterpiece shares the children’s artistic expedition beyond their imagination.

Be it in our dreams or reality, art is definitely all around us.

Post Event Thank You Note:

Even though Art in Wonderland was held on the same day of the National Day Parade preview, the turnout was (to our amazement) so overwhelming that all 900 goodie bags from our generous sponsors were given out to participants within the day. Children together with their family members from both the local and expatriates’ community came together and took part in the many exciting and fun-filled art activities that cater to every individual. Some even went home with trophies and prizes which they had won from the various interesting contests (such as The Extreme PaintOver Contest) that battle their wits and creativity.

It was also a hot Saturday and children/parents were seen perspiring whilst churning up their pieces of art. Yet, many stayed on braving the scorching sun just to be part of the event.

Post Event Thank You Note:

It was a wet Sunday. With very little media coverage, no influential VIP guest and yet we saw a strong crowd of 1,100+(estimated). Other than locals, there were participants from Japan, Britain, Australia, Russia, USA, India, Thailand, Philippines, China, Malaysia, etc, etc. A rendezvous of different nationalities gathered here to create their pieces of art, the fun way.

It was also a day for family bonding whereby child and parent combined effort to create a piece of art together. Some even as young as 2 years old participated in the art activities, priced from as low as $2. At the end of the day, participants went home happy with their art pieces and/or prizes that they had won. You can see the joy in their faces.

A big THANK YOU to all students, students’ parents, sponsors, volunteers, staff and members of Club Rainbow (Singapore), participants and many more… We made it because of you! And because of you, the event was a success!
