Teacher's notes
This week, the kids learnt about Pointillism and Mandalas. Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of pure color are applied in patterns to form an image. While, mandala is a Sanskrit word that means "circle" and often decorated with symmetrical patterns.

Dhanan made his second attempt on painting this week. When he finished, we compared it with the his painting last week. Noticeably, there were marked improvements and confidence in today's painting. Zul and Nasir tried out some chinese painting techniques from watching a YouTube shared with them. Good attempts!

Vemosyha showed confidence in her freehand drawing and colouring of her chinese fan. Nabila got her pontillism technique right!
