Returning to your alma mater more than a year after you left and speaking to their students and their parents is a strangely daunting task.
Fortunately and unfortunately I was given this task- to speak forth the wonderfulness of the Art Elective Program.
Among myself were a former schoolmate from Tanjong Katong Girl’s speaking about the Music Elective Program, a MOE Art Curriculum Planner and the would-be principal of the Art School that was to open in 2008. We were all geared up- ready to convince the barely ready students from my primary school to take the various programmes that we were from.
Of cause with MOE Art Curriculum Planners with degrees in Fine Arts and Principals of the inaugural Art School, I was having some tough competition.
Getting there and realizing that my laptop didn’t work with the projector didn’t help either. Last minute jitters and the air-con being abnormally cold just added more butterflies to my already packed stomach.
Being the first speaker, the whole presentation on Victoria School Art Elective Program came forth quite successfully with gleeful parents coming to ask for advice and commending the presentation after the presentation finally killed those overactive butterflies.
This one-night encounter has taught me that Art has more opportunities than you can ever imagine. With new and springing opportunities coming up, it would really pay to give art a second thought.
