Here’s our video link: DANCERaction Project

DANCERaction Project

By Elizabeth Teh, Melvin Pang & Xuezhen Narayanan

Our project is based on the interaction with foreign workers at HealthServe which led us to the idea of doing a dance exchange culture for our final project. Using dance as our main platform for interaction, it allows us to exchange body movements through visuals rather than Read more →

Your group lead the first interactions we had with the workers. I was amazed at how you too hold of what you were trying to do and adapted to any circumstances and were very sensitive and responsive to your audience. Afterwards in reflecting on the whole evening I felt very strongly about the actions that happened between us all. Our bodies are never sharing the same space as the workers and if they are we are not acknowledging it. We usually look through the bodies of the workers when here we all shared the same space and watched each others bodies move. We viewed oeach others bodies. Dance was the perfect way to open us all up to each other without having to say a word. Your contributions were what propelled the entire class. Thanks again for leading us all into such moving outcomes.

This shot was taken at the bus stop where spotlights were placed at the roots of the trees, shining up onto the palm trees. I chose this image as it shows the apparent positions of the trees and lightings and furthermore, the different tones of shades interest me to try as my colour study. It allows me to Read more →

@ DA2002 Elizabeth Teh

My Lino Cut is a story about a fisherman fishing along the sea on a cloudy day. He stood by a tree for shelter while having his bait in the sea. Marks on the surface of water shows how calm the sea is. For the past years, he always wanted his family to have a scrumptious meal but his Read more →

Full pages available online: http://snack.to/bhp0dil9

Our project is based on the session we had at HealthServe as well as the interviews we did near Jurong East with migrant workers. We decided on creating a booklet as a documentation of these workers. We aim to Read more →

You two again did something different from everyone else. Nice work. The photo portraits you took are artistically very good! The design and compositions vary and keep our attention. They are personal and bring out the personality of the men. Nice job!!! great to see you also transfer your design knowledge to the next thing you take on. I hope you transfer these design and composition ideas to whatever you do. Great work expanding our project outside of health serve. I hope to see you all in May.

Prof Kelly brought the class out to take some photos outside ADM so that we can work on our paper cut. Out of some many photos, I have decided to pick on this photo.

The final product was paper cut, but before the paper cut, I did painting on the photo. I played with some interesting colors, trying to get as Read more →

@ Gay Peiyu

I’m working on the story about the owner sending both the dog and the pig to his field.

Before I explain the story, back in our mind we will think that the pig will be sleeping the whole day while the dog does most of the job.

However, this story is totally opposite. The dog will be sleeping the whole day while Read more →

Food For Thought

by Goh Chang Zuo & Scott Nathaniel Lim

English subtitles included!

Write a narrative of how your idea developed. (Begin by giving some response to the 1st dance and games night)

On the first dance and games night, we only had a brief introduction of everyone. We didn’t Read more →

Dear Scott & Chang Zuo, It is truly amazing that we can live in this small island and still have so much here that is misunderstood or not noticed at all. The warmth and personal sharing you and your family opened up to Akbar and Habibullah was beautiful and Akbar and Habibullah reciprocated beautifully with your family. This was truly a joy to see. You have set an example and these men our new friend have truly set and example for us. Your film expresses the humanity between us. Thank you for doing this work and please keep it up. See you in May?
I certainly did enjoy your video one more time...I am doing a presentation on your work (the classes work) in Taiwan tomorrow...if they have WIFI in the room I'll play it for them you both are very remarkable and with your talents and sensibilities and intellect you'll move the world

Assignment 6: Hidden In The City, Yet In Clear View

My group members consist of Yi Jun, Pei Yu and I. The foreign workers who are working with us are Shahin, Soriful and Alal Miah. In this final project, we worked on creating our very own designed notebooks and conducted a Chinese-Bengali language exchange session with the foreign workers at HealthServe. 

Let’s Read more →

Yes I was really proud of the way you three women rose to the occasion and pushed yourselves to communicate with strength and clarity to people you never met that seem from the outside to be very different from yourselves. Pei Yu took many leads the first night during our sessions with the games and also contributed to other groups such as the food tasting. The language exchange was again a very different route to take from everyone else work and tackled an important aspect that we want to bridge: language differences and language difficulties they may have during simple everyday transactions. Great idea and strong contribution to our piece. See you in May!!!
Amy the picture on he dashboard for this project is gone?? On my view it comes up as a question mark?? Do you see that too? Can you bring the picture back? ...wonder what happened? Kelly
Prof Kelly, I did not remove any pictures from my dashboard. I can see all of them from my computer. I am not sure why you are not able to view them. Amy
Ok thanks for the information...I'll see what's happening.. : )
