In this Mixed Media Painting Workshop, TKGS students were taught on the collaborative use of different media like dye, acrylic, Collage and scrap-materials.

It tapped on the nature of each medium and the creative inputs of students in forming their Mixed Media work.

They were also introduced to the context of Mixed Media and Abstract Art with reference to work by Jackson Pollock, Wassily Kandinsky, Thomas Yeo and

Goh Beng Kwan.

Elements of Art and Principles of Design were infused in the lessons to enable well-composed Mixed Media Paintings which could be abstract or semi-abstract.

Each student has produced 4 pieces of work of different styles with presentation of their ideas, techniques and reflections.
