WOAH! arts fest was a blast. firstly… we took forever to hang up this banner you see here.
like a whole hour ++ because of the patchwork (all that scrap cloth from the previous year’s doll-making) which made the banner so heavy! Had to thread through it as though we were sewing through the top so as to evenly distribute the weight. and our hands hurt from the twine after that! all my guides background of knots tying really came in useful and thankfully the knots were strong enough to sustain the banner for the duration of arts fest!
we also printed a whole lot of t-shirts (sze and i stayed back on wed to print the "dingbats" on the arts fest t-shirts) both for us and for sale. the "i fear not death for i have no life" tee conceptualised by sze and kaisheng was very popular and honghu’s design of the nj lion doing different ccas (ALL the ccas in NJ) was overwhelmingly welcomed by the njc population. we got several bulk orders for those and a possible collaboration with council for future shirts. besides the t-shirts, we sold jewellery, files and postcards!
and… performance art by the J1s was hilarious even though i did not manage to catch it due to the crowd in front of the art store. BUT… the guys parading their pink t-shirts around the canteen drew enough attention to be considered a performance art i guess.
and. the teachers had fun dressing up too. as… HIPPIES! and the teachers are always right: "MAKE ART NOT WAR". 🙂
