September's Bulletin Board

2009-10-05T10:59:00.000-07:00

Another bulletin board design, this time for the month of September. Using mindmapping and sportsfest for the theme, it took me two days to finish it. The balls are not quite realistic though, but it took me sometime to write all the names of the students in each team--that's from grade 1 to Fourth yr. high school. I consumed eight cartolinas for it. Glad to finish it before the event.

Finally! A new post for the new school year. Been so very busy and was not able to post for months. Now I'm back!

Just last July, we launch Nutrition Month. As we celebrated the said event, B.R.I.G.H.T. Art Class took a part by having a Food Model Exhibit which was at the same time a contest. I started this last year and eventually, students are looking forward to it. Here are some pics of the entries and the winners for the Clay Sculpture of the sophomores.

Family Day Stage Design

2009-04-02T18:27:00.000-07:00

I started working at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a day before the event. Yes, i know it's kinda late. Typical T. Ren works efficiently under pressure :)
I'm kinda worried but i know I can finish it. Partly I'm thinking, "Why am I alone here?" But everybody's so busy; I need to do my part. "This is big..." Four plywood connected to each other, taller than me. Fortunately, I got help from the kuyas til 5p.m. painting it white but I stayed til 11 p.m. painting the whole design. Alone in the gym with paintbrushes in hand, i shivered. Kinda scary working alone. Then came my hubby with food! Yes, with food!:)
I considered it unfinished work coz i was not able to copy the whole thing in the program. Kinda tired but It felt so good. The first thing in my mind is not what the people in school will say about it but what will my dad say if he sees it. I bet he'll be proud of me. I got his skills among his siblings. *sigh*

In This Christmas Season... Recycle

2008-12-24T12:29:00.000-08:00

Parol is a traditional Filipino Christmas decoration, a five point star-shaped Christmas lantern, originally made of thin bamboo frames and covered with colored cellophane or with rice paper also known as Japanese paper or papel de Japon. It has two tails that serve as the rays of the star. Parol reminds the Filipino Christians of the star of Bethlehem that guided the Three Wise Men on their way in search of Baby Jesus. Parol making is not only a Christmas symbol; it is a symbol of hope for lots of Parol makers. Filipinos used new and recycled materials to make parols, like plastic glasses, candy wrappers, soft drink straws, recycled papers, and shells. The present day parol come in different shapes and sizes it doesn't have to be star- shaped, it can be round, rectangular or even square, like a diorama with the Nativity on it. Parol represents the innovation, creativity, and it is the greatest expression of Christmas spirit.

It is in this connection that the students and teachers of B.R.I.G.H.T. Academy initiated Parol Making Contest that is made up of recyclable and indigenous materials to pave way for this year’s Christmas celebration and at the same time serve as our way of helping save the Earth. In this way, we made the celebration more memorable not just for our school but for Cebu as well.

The main objective of the contest is for everyone to unite and cooperate to produce a craft worthy to be appreciated. The contest also aims to highlight our ingenious craftsmanship. Surely the said activity made this year’s Christmas a bit different.

Scope of the Contest

There are two categories of the contest: Individual entry and Class Entry.
Both will be graded and will be considered as an Art Class Activity.
For the Class entry, there are sub-categories: Primary Level (Grade 1-3), Intermediate Level (Grade 4-6), and High School Level (1st-4th year).
For High School level, the lantern/parol must have a minimum height and width of 1 meter but not to exceed 1.5 meters.
For Intermediate level, the lantern/parol must have a minimum height and width of 75 centimeters and 50 centimeters for Primary Level.
Individual category criteria and specification will be discussed in their respective Art classes.
Recycled materials must be used and indigenous materials may be added to enhance aesthetic presentation or visual effect.
The winner for the said Class lantern making contest will serve as our entry for the LIGHT A STAR Contest of The Freeman (deadline November 29, 2008).
Judging time will be on November 24, 2008, Monday. All lanterns/parol must be displayed in the corridors already by that time.

Proper use of recycle materials 25%

The Juniors also took their part in our Art class exhibit during the Buwan ng Wika celebration. They created their own costume for their dolls. We definitely know that there are available Barbie dolls in Philippine costumes in the malls and it's real expensive. So we decided to made our own cheaper version, though. Hope you'll like it:)
