Aesthetics

Vision

A Damaian who is passionate about the arts.

Mission

To engage students by creating awareness and interest, and developing passion for the arts through structured programmes or activities.

Programmes

Students’ learning and development in the aesthetics domain are supported through the following platforms:

1) Talentime @Damai

Our budding performers sang, danced and played musical instruments in two separate Talentime@Damai shows. 

Students performed to their schoolmates, epitomising the vision of a performance by students for students.

In one of show, some supportive parents came alongside their children to perform as a duo. It provided a new experience and perspective for both the performers and the audience.

2) D’Aesthetics@Damai

P3 & P4 students had fun when they stayed back after school for D’Aesthetics@Damai. 

The P3 students worked on creating artworks using glass, while the P4 students learnt how to play Chinese Drums.

3) SYF 2024 Arts Presentation

Our students participated in SYF 2024 Arts Presentation. 

4) Jewel Box @ PAC

Jewel Box is our school’s gallery space located within the Performing Arts Centre (PAC) which holds current artworks by Damai students. This gallery is a physical showcase celebrating the variety of mediums taught to the students. It is an illustration of our students' exploration, collective thoughts and their creative responses to the themes presented to them during Art lessons. The space invites students, teachers as well as guests to interact with the works by scanning the QR codes for more information.

5) Damai Art Exhibition @ Bedok Public Library

The Aesthetics Department mount a public showcase of our students’ artworks at the Bedok Public Library annually.  The art exhibition featured a combination of media ranging from 2D to 3D artworks.

6) Arts@Damai (Visual Art)

Arts@Damai (Visual Art) gave students both the exposure to digital manga art as well as provided them a hands-on experience in creating their own digital manga art.

7) Arts@Damai (Perfoming Arts)

Arts@Damai (Performing Arts) is a platform that brings professional artistes in to our assembly shows and hands-on recess activity.

This year, the award-winning Reverberance Ensemble introduced to students the Chinese music instruments in the wind and percussion ensemble. During recess, students have a hand at the drums under the guidance of the instructor. 

8) Museum-based Learning

Each year, our P4 cohort goes on a learning journey to the National Gallery for their museum-based learning.

Students get to view artworks in close proximity and have authentic discussions on the artworks.

9) Arts Outreach to the community

Our budding artists apply their art skills and knowledge in our arts outreach to the community. 

Our P5 & P6 students volunteer to engage pre-schoolers through art. It has provided a very rich experience for them as they hone their skills of communication and collaboration through mentoring the pre-schoolers in an art project.

10) P2 Aesthetics Learning Journey - Day Out! @ Esplanade

Our P2 cohort went on a learning journey - ‘Day Out! @ Esplanade’ and enjoyed themselves thoroughly, going from station to station to experience different music activities.

11) Sand Art

We saw through the lens of six students who attended the Sand Art Workshop their exploration and reflection on the journey of Damai Primary School – with two past mergers, a move into a state-of-the-art building, the evergreen recycling efforts, and our school values; and succinctly expressed into a Sand Art Performance which was launched on Children’s Day Celebration on the 7 Oct 2021.
