That's my Country for You- A world without boundaries!

"That's my Country for You", NUS ArtVibe's biggest event yet, was conducted on the 21st and 22nd of October, between 12 noon and 6 pm, at the Central Forum. With over 125 NUS students participating, the event was a huge success.


The theme of the event was brotherhood among nations and the participants used their imaginations well, to put this in the form of one-liners and sketches, on the large scale map of the world that was made by ArtVibers. This, along with the collage made on the map, made the whole picture come alive with the spirit of unity in diversity in the NUS community.

Paint for Fun- Origami and photo frames

Session 5 of the weekly 'Paint for Fun' activity, was held on the 10th of October at central forum between 2 and 4 pm. This week, instead of sticking to the usual painting and sketching, the session was more craft/origami oriented.



The session began with a demonstration on making a photo frame using only ice-cream sticks. After that, the participants got to work using their imaginations and ice-cream sticks to make fancy photo frames. The next activity was origami, where participants go to make their favorite origami figures and use them to decorate their photo frames.




Towards the end, a feedback session was conducted, after which the participants got their very own origami photo frame to take back home. More exciting activities coming up soon!

'Basic Principles of Art' workshop

The 'Basic Principles of Art' workshop conducted by NUS ArtVibe was held on the 19th of September between 10am-12pm at the Celadon Room in NUS museum. The workshop was conducted by well known interior designer Mrs. Sunita Choudhry.

The workshop began with Mrs. Sunita giving a short introduction on the basic principles of art, in which she covered the 7 elements and principles of art, followed by color theory. She laid special emphasis on the effect on color on works of art. This was followed by a painting session where the participants were asked to each choose an abstract theme that reflects their personality and then make a painting of it.



The participants went wild, each choosing a unique color theme to reflect their personality. In the end, each participant was asked to show their work and the other participants took turns analyzing the work from their perspective followed by a description of the work by the artist.




On the whole the workshop was a fun learning experience for everyone. To sign up for NUS artvibe, just send a mail with your name and matric number to artvibe.nus@gmail.com
