Synopsis:

What's your story? is an educational workshop that responds to Merryn Trevethan and Joel Yuen's artworks showcase in their exhibition - Stillscapes at NPE Art Residency.

Both artists reflected their living through the visual arts. Merryn is particularly interested in the cluttering visuals of architectures around us which may trigger a psychological impact to the city dweller. The city as quoted by the artist is a reality dominated by the digital and flooded with information. This can be well-captured in the bold colours and housing visual of her works. On the other hand, Joel's photographic works examined the contradiction between the polished and define outlook of the city, and the convenient and cheap living of the people through shopping and collecting objects from selected shops in Singapore to create images that took reference to Dutch 17th century paintings.

Artists often took their inspirations from the environment and society that they are in. What are your thoughts about the city? Are there any places or objects in this city that leave an impression on you? Join us to create a collage postcard through still life images and write down your story!

Learning objective and outcome:

1) Students will learn about the artists' works and intentions through a short sharing session by educator.
2) Students will learn about composition used in landscape and create a collage with still life images.
