Storytelling with Art Response

Storytelling session for children with facilitated Art Response activity

A structured session for Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund beneficiaries

Date: 22 – 24 May 2012
Location: Ang Mo Kio Family Service Centre
Whispering Hearts Family Service Centre at Jurong West

In these two separate storytelling sessions, Kamini shared a variety of stories suitable for children from Primary 5 level followed with an Art Response activity.

Art Response is different to craft-making or definite art direction.

The children were provided with a variety of materials ranging from paper to coloured writing implements to respond to the various stories they had just listened to.

Engaging in a simple Art Response activity can be calming, soothing and liberating for many of us.

It is also a wonderful follow-up activity after a storytelling session.

The centres / children were encouraged to keep / display their individual art responses.
