Paint for Fun- Cartooning Fun.

The weekly Paint for Fun sessions just took a whole new dimension with this weeks session on Cartooning. The session took place on the 6th of February, between 2pm and pm at the Central Forum.

The session began with the participants learning about what cartooning is and how to go about drawing the different parts of a cartoon. The eyes, nose and pretty much the whole deal about cartooning was covered in the two hour session, at the end of which the participants got to create their very own cartoon character and even make a comic strip out of it!!! Towards the end, the participants spent sometime reading each others comics and voting for their favorite to decide the best 3.

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!
