To Zo Ee to the Singapore Esplanade to participate in the free Bean Art event. We arrived at 12.30noon and there's one on going session which started at 11.30am. We registered for the next available session. Zo Ee impatiently waited till 1.30pm. After a brief introduction of Bean Art with a few artist examples, children were allowed to start their own masterpiece. 6 beans , recycle box, papers and glues(one for paper & another for beans) were supplied to each child. Zo Ee decided to make a ship. It was a 90minutes session but Zo Ee was done in less than an hour; 40minutes after deducting the introduction etc. The above was all her work, I only helped her to squeezed out the glue initially but eventually Zo Ee even refused my help at all.

The freeland artist whom I got to know, actually works at many school for art projects around Singapore. Schools actually invite and pay her and her friends to teach art and carried out art projects. This person told me that Zo Ee was actually very good at it and her fine motor skills are extremely good for her age. She even asked me whether Zo Ee likes crafts and did Zo Ee has lots of craft experience. Well actually, Zo Ee is good at cutting and collage skill is very limited to her own exploring at home with junk papers. Since we just came back to Singapore, I took this opportunity to ask her about art classes available for kids. And I ended up showing her Zo Ee's lastest creation of Moby with her recycle toy box which happened to be in my hp. Her immediate reaction was really shocking; "That' s very good. Wow! It's very good." She wanted to know whether it was all her work and where did her get the idea from. I explained to her that it all started with her new toy box. She was cutting it and sometime later, she showed me her finished Moby on the table. Frankly speaking, I was impressed too that's why I gave her the idea to glue it onto a paper so that we could file them. Her remark really strike me that her work is very good.
