The Big Draw 2018 at BIS Hanoi

This week saw the return of our annual Big Draw festival, with students across all year groups participating.

The festival was launched on Monday morning when students were presented with small frames on which they were encouraged to draw. All of these ‘mini masterpieces’ have been gathering in the dedicated space in the central part of the school to celebrate our focus on all things creative.

The theme for this year is ‘play’ which has allowed us to encourage students to partake in imaginative and exciting activities.

Students from F1 upwards have been using objects normally associated with play to paint and draw with culminating in some large-scale collaborative art. Lunch-time workshops hosted in the secondary art rooms have provided opportunities for students to learn new skills they might not always have a chance to.

Nearly all classes have also been preparing for the much-anticipated art auction at the International Festival (November 10, 2018) next week and have used the Big Draw event to make an excellent start on their canvases.

The creative subjects are extremely valued and are an important part of our work here at BIS Hanoi. Whether the creative route is one which your son or daughter may, or may not take, it is important that we prepare them to be creative thinkers with the resilience and confidence to take risks in their future careers.
