Our International Gold Awardee, Sophie Van Meurs

Updated: Aug 25, 2023

Congratulations to Sophie Van Meurs for claiming an international Gold award from the 52nd World School Children's Art Exhibition organised by The Republic of China, Taiwan.

It's through an Emergent Curriculum where Sophie came up with the idea for her artwork. There were a couple of themes where classes had been allocated but of course, there's always an option of having their own themes where they find suitable. I remember there was a discussion and exchange of ideas initially and although the class seemed to be very convinced about working on a particular theme, Sophie had her eyes set on the rain outside. Sophie has always been outspoken yet mischevious and that's where she led her class into a discussion about playing in the rain. There were many storybooks that we used to read about of scenes playing in the rain and we discussed about our own experiences and the people involved, etc. We looked up some pictures and videos and we just wanted to relive that moment. Everyone became really enthusiastic about drawing themselves, their family and friends playing in the rain and this is where magic happens.


Children to adults, we have observed, the opportunity for bright ideas and creativity is always available if we provide the openness for it and we are really glad that parents believe in our unique approach to teaching art, providing the time and space for children to have discussions, brainstorming sessions and documentations of divergent thoughts, etc. The creative process matters significantly for a rich outcome of an art work and we have always held on to this belief!


We are very proud of Sophie to have claimed this international award, Gold award, not just for herself and Artistori but also for Singapore!


Yours Sincerely,

Vernon Chen

A Manga Self Showcase

Creative self expression from the Creative Visual Art programme

There are many apps on Apple and Android that helps to convert photos to a Manga or comic impression from a portrait photo. However, AI generated graphics tend to loose more self identity as compared to drawing a portrait by an individual. In other words, instead of a template, the art formed by hand is original and creative.


Here's the gallery of our Creative Visual Art young artists' works:

Our Creative Visual Art young artists took 10 weeks, going back to basics on manga drawing guidelines, perspectives and styles. Digital skills wise, the tools used in Adobe Photoshop include the use of brushes and the Pen tool.


I believe the challenge the young artists faced is not on the digital skills or fundamental basics of drawing manga, but rather, it's on the dilemma of how they want to be represented in a manga form. Since most our young artists watch manga anime, they all have a favourite character who is adorable, pretty, representing valor or just cool. To represent one self in art, it takes courage and openness and most of them found that representation of themselves through manga and I am proud and happy for them!


Do share these young talents' works with your family, friends and colleagues.

Thank you!


Yours Sincerely,

Vernon Chen
