After my secondary two streaming examination, I was posted to an art combination class due to my poor results. I had to attend art lessons for about two years and take art as an 'O' Level Examination subject. Initially, I thought that it would be a bad experience as I had low interest in art. Moreover, art was not my first choice that I wanted.
However, after attending the art lessons for six hours weekly over two years, my interest for art grew. During the first year, I was exposed to a lot of art materials and books where I can explore on my own. I even had an opportunity to paint on one of the wall in my school. To me, art lessons were time for resting and relax.
During the second year, when I was preparing for my ‘O’ level art examination, I met a temporary art teacher in my school. She was like a saviour to me and my interest for art grew deeper. She helped and taught me a lot in preparing for my examination. This is when I realised that for the past one year, I did not learn any art skills at all because it was all self-exposing without any guidance.
I am not a artistic person but I was glad that I met that teacher and I did not give up my interest in art. Currently, I still do art work when I was bored and stressed up. From this experience, I learnt that if I have to teach someone in the future, I will definitely pass down all the skills that I know and guide the person properly along the way.
Hi Zi Ying! I always thought you are an artistic person since you draw so well! Your reflection went in depth in describing your arts journey and how your interest for art grew. Your body paragraphs shows a good cause/effect pattern like how your teacher guided you and made your interest for art grew. In overall, it’s an interesting read!
ReplyDeleteHi Ziying! I am glad that your interest for art grew overtime! I have always admire people who have art backgrounds, because I cannot really draw well. I was guided well through your whole learning experience and how you have benefited from that teacher and inspired to be like her to help others in future. Your reflection is paragraphed neatly along your art journey.
ReplyDeleteZi Ying,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your art learning experiences with us. Your reflective writing is well-structured and the ideas flow coherently from the beginning to the end. I believe you learned a valuable lesson about the importance of being a good mentor.
Language: Just a few minor errors:
1. Do you know why you should use ‘the’ instead ‘my’ below?
Moreover, art was not my first choice that I wanted.
2. Think about the use of tenses in this sentence:
During the first year, I was exposed to a lot of art materials and books where I can explore on my own.
3. Error with the use of ‘a’:
I am not a artistic person
4. Think about the use of tenses in this sentence:
Currently, I still do art work when I was bored and stressed up.
1. It is 'the' because choice is an object. It is not related to me, the subject, so I cannot use 'my'.
