Outing to Grand Indonesia

Last Monday, August 10 grade 3 went to Grand Indonesia shopping mall. NO...we did not went for a shopping trip :) We went to see the 'Roadshow Seni dan Budaya Indonesia' and work together with the 'real' artists.

The goal of this activity was, the children must observe how the artists work and make conclusion of what learning style they used.

Children were divided into 3 groups: keramik (clay), kaleng (can painting) and Batik. Children then work in that group and experience working with the artist to create their own piece of art.

After they finished working, children must fill in the reflection sheet as a result of their observation. Each group representative then must share what experience they felt in their group work. Fhiiuhhh...some said that art was very hard, some said it is fun, its a way to express ideas and some even said it was confusing. Yet, the children came to one conclusion that, they could be smart in many ways, art is one of them.

Before we left the shopping mall, we rushed to see the famous dancing fountain, but we were 12 minutes late. Sorry kids, we missed the fountain show :(

Great thanks for Ibu Asih (Azya's mom) for inviting us for the show and serving the children very well. They loved it and learned so much from it. Thanks also to Ibu Endang (Ibel's mom) to lend her car and drove us there :) -Ms. Dwi-
