For School Students

Many education and outreach programmes have been initiated for SB2006, carried out by various Biennale artists. At City Hall and Blk 79 Indus Rd, Takafumi Hara will create artworks based on his interviews with the general public and local residents respectively. Com&Com will involve local students in making paintings and drawings of Merlion and Mocmoc (a mythical creature created by Com&Com), while Learning Site will collaborate with a kindergarten at Blk 79 Indus Rd on an art project that involves growing mushrooms!

For Young Children

Think that contemporary art is only for the arty-farty snoots? Think again! Not only has art invaded the daily lives of Singaporeans, with public art installations like IEPE's The Singapore Miracle along the Singapore River and Yayoi Kusama's Ascension of Polkadots on the Trees along Orchard Road, the Singapore Biennale proves that contemporary art can be enjoyed by young children as well!

An education kit has been put together for schools which are interested in broadening the minds of their students by exposing them to contemporary art by some of the most prominent and promising artists around the world. The kit provides a basis for students to explore the works at Tanglin Camp, and have highlighted certain works that are more suitable for children. These include Charles Juhász-Alvarado's Escala (Stopover), an installation that resembles a giant table-football game and is a commentary on the Spanish colonization of Puerto Rico, and Agathe de Bailliencourt's Occupation Bleue, where the Singapore-based artist utilised existing marks and smears on the walls and floor of the exhibition space to create a wall painting installation.

Also, Kids' Day Out! has been specially organised for children who are 12 years old and under. On Oct 22, 2006 (Sunday), the kids get to bring two adults of their choice - be it parents or distant third granduncle or their favourite (older) cousin - to Tanglin Camp for free! The day programme involves art classes by Little Art Bug, an art school for young children, photo opportunities with the cuddly larger-than-life Mocmoc and Mermer, and even a tour designed just for the kids.

Various Singapore Biennale artists have also involved schoolchildren in their public art projects. At City Hall and Blk 79 Indus Rd, Takafumi Hara has created artworks based on his interviews with the general public and local residents respectively. Com&Com has involved local students in making paintings and drawings of Merlion and Mocmoc (a mythical creature created by Com&Com), while Learning Site has collaborated with a kindergarten at Blk 79 Indus Rd on an art project that involves growing mushrooms!
