“ The fluidity of the medium amazes me. It allows one to explore and create stunning compositions to allow the viewer to experience different moods. Mastering the colour map and space changed my perception of working with watercolours. I enjoy the medium and I can also pass on the learning to my colleagues and students.” - Norisah Binte Mohd Ismail “ CAPS! Paint with Colours With Ng Woon Lam “ The idea of Visual Literacy -- Why artists use colours the way they do. I look at artworks differently now!” The nine of us quickly came to the realisation that the wide kaleidoscope of colours is really daunting yet exciting at the same time. Under the guidance of Mr Ng, we were challenged to stretch the possibilities of how colours can be used.” - Hui Leng - Abigail Compiled by: Ms. Tan Sok Tiow, Art Teacher, Tanjong Katong Secondary School Mdm. Toh Hui Leng, Art Teacher, Geylang Methodist Secondary School M r Ng’s workshop helped us to appreciate the attributes of colours. Through his painting demonstrations and explanation we had a better understanding of the foundation of colour theory and the application of colour space in the artmaking process. Now we feel more competent and confident in making more polished artistic expressions after the workshop. 82 “ Set your own pace while painting. Explore the possibilities of each given task. You will get there. You get there and then, conquer the next task.” - Julia 83
