Open to the public, each participant will get to paint a tile which is uniquely yours, but when put together, will form one cohesive, vibrantly diverse image. It signifies how diversity is all linked, each animal, plant and person a part of a complex circle of life. The completed mural mosaic will be on display during the main Festival of Biodiversity on 26 & 27 May 2012 (Saturday & Sunday). Head down to the Festival to take a look at the completed artwork and join the many fun-filled, nature-centric activities lined up!
On 12 May (Saturday): Volunteer artist Tham Pui San will be demonstrating the basics of using acrylic paints, various effects, and how to best use acrylic paint on plywood tiles and how the final artpiece will come together.
On 19 May (Saturday): We will be having the hands-on workshop session where all participants will get tiles to paint on!
