In Art, the grade 1 students have been learning about how the properties of air can be used to create an interesting effect. Children were presented with a variety of different coloured watery paints, a straw and a piece of paper. 

The challenge was to move the paints without touching the paper and then we observed how they put in their efforts to explore different ideas to move the paint. 

The group engaged in different methods of painting until one student discovered a technique involving blowing the paint. They experimented with different levels of force and even used straws to control the direction of the paint.

 The experience was enjoyable to observe as they used their creativity to transform the paint into various shapes and figures.

Dance and Drama

EIS Dance and Drama department is dedicated to training learners to the highest calibre, developing the artistic ability within each individual and inspiring students. Emphasis is placed on developing skills and exploring concepts through technique, improvisation, and student-developed performance.

At the Grade 2 level, the students are offered a space for exploration, improvisation, and expression through movement and action.

By exploring space, time, body, effort, movement, and form, the individuals involved in dance and drama were able to develop a range of technical skills that are crucial to the art forms. In addition to these technical skills, they also improved their perception and evaluation abilities through various group activities, both large and small. 

Furthermore, the participants were able to enhance their teamwork skills as they collaborated with one another throughout the process.
