After showing the kids around the other exhibits at the National Gallery Singapore, their art journey continues at the Keppel Centre for Art Education. The concept here is simple: to stimulate children’s curiosity and imagination through – what else – art.
Reopened in December 16, 2023, the refreshed centre features seven unique learning zones suitable for children aged 4 to 12. These immersive spaces will host workshops catered to igniting the imagination of children in hopes to nurture their critical thinking and visual literacy skills. Through these activities, the children will be exposed to seven different elements of art: space, form, colour, texture, line, shape and value.
The space also incorporates wheelchair-friendly furniture and learning stations of various heights to ensure inclusivity and accessibility within the space.
Besides the permanent installations, the Keppel Centre for Art Education regularly hosts programmes, from storytelling sessions to craft workshops to kid-friendly discussions on art. Check out National Gallery Singapore's website for more info.
