Ideas for NOMAD 2008 Souvenirs
The Art Club started working on souvenirs and other products for sale during NOMAD itself. Judging from the popularity of T-Shirts the last time in 2005, we will be embarking on some T-Shirt Designing over the next few weeks, in time for product sales on fringe festival events where permissible and definitely for the Finale from 3rd to 5th July. Any feedback or suggestions about possible souvenirs is warmly welcome.
I’ve put up an example of the creative stimuli given to our students to inspire interesting products, do follow this link and leave a comment:

Artworks at Craft & Technology Junior Show
Sec 2 FTs might be particularly interested in this. Although the Junior Show was not explicitly linked to NOMAD 2008, the art works produced by our Secondary 2 IAP Art Students will be featured in various different ways in the festival itself.
I have uploaded the selected student works for display according to classes and project strands (ie Singapore Pioneer Artist Project and Pop Art in the 1960s Project). A Summary of all these posts is available on the Visual Arts Page.
Please follow the link below and feel free to share the links with your students and direct them to this online exhibition of their work.
