a few weeks ago i'd message chloe and hanxiang to ask if they are willing to come by some time to give a talk to the present art students about the art courses they are currently taking in LaSalle. To my surprise, they agree to do it right on. That super-positive response spur me to contact more of these big-kiddies who are out there on their own exploring the art / design fields. I was so happy that all of them are eager to come by to share their experiences.
after a few times of change of dates and etc, we finally have them over on the 20th Jan 2007, a saturday in school.
throughout the whole talk, I was busy talking to some 4N students about their coursework so i've only managed to catch parts of the talks here and there, but I love what I heard.
something like this:
' we have learnt to appreciate every little details around us. '
' art friend is really our friend! '
' a lot of hard work, but it's worth. '
they have also brought along big files of their works to share with the students and fed them with a lot of personalised first-hand information they may not get even if they visited the open house.
the intended 1 hour session was extended to 2 hours.
after packing up, i wanted to give them a lunch treat. they only wanted to go to the coffee shop beside the school, simply because they have missed the food there. over lunch, they have also express interest to come by to help out with the art camps.
i suppose these little things, responses and seeing your students grow, are the perks of teaching. we used to teach them, now we are able to work with them. totally blessed.
Ex and present, all are YUSOFFIANS! :)
