Art Exhibits and ‘Live’ Demonstrations
Bigger and better the second time round, there is much to see and do at the Faber-Castell Art Festival 2018. Visitors are in for a visual treat with one-of-a-kind artwork displays and live demonstrations by the line-up of 26 local and international artists. Key highlights include eye-catching sculptures made entirely from Faber-Castell pencils by artist Kerstin Schulz from Germany, and miniature sculptures of Singapore’s iconic landmarks by Indonesian artist, Muhamad Taufik. Using Faber-Castell Acrylic Colours, corrugated paper and PVC boards, Muhamad Taufik has skilfully handcrafted miniatures of buildings such as the Capitol Building, The Cathay, and MICA Building. A selection of artists will be demonstrating their craft, live, during the weekends.
Hands-on Classes
Those who are keen to participate in art classes to pick up a new skill or two can choose from the 33 classes conducted by 20 visual artists specialising in various art forms such as watercolouring, caricature, sketching, abstract art, doodling, lettering, calligraphy, drawing and colouring. Due to the limited number of seats available per workshop, participants would have to register online via this link: https://bit.ly/2vnKOWq.
Trick-Eye Stations, Caricature for Charity & Portrait Painting
Free-and-easy activities await the entire family. Visitors can also look forward to taking fun photos at two TrickEye Stations designed by Singaporean artist, Clarence Ho. Clarence will also be on hand to draw caricature sketches for a nominal fee, which will be donated to charity organisation, Club Rainbow. Family, couples and individuals could also have their portraits painted by artist, Ismail from Faber-Castell Indonesia.
New ‘Colour To Life’; AR Experience by Faber Castell
Yet another festival highlight is the new Faber Castell ‘Colour To Life’ experience, which combines pencil colouring with an Augmented Reality (AR) based application. Watch a child’s face light up in wonder as his/her personal creation comes to life. ‘Colour to Life’ is packed with a set of colouring book, consisting of five different characters over 15 pages, and Faber-Castell Connector Pens. After colouring the characters, the pages are scanned via a QR code into the free downloaded app. Five different games can also be played based on these characters.
Competitions with Prizes to be Won
On-site gaming competitions based on the ‘Colour to Life’ characters will be held at specific hours during the weekends for kids below 12 years of age. Prizes with a total value of S$600 will be awarded to the top three scores.
In addition, families can purchase the ‘Colour To Life’ pack at the Art Festival to participate in a competition. Colour the characters, bring it to life and take a selfie with the coloured character. Three winners will be awarded prizes with a total value of S$600 for the most creative photos uploaded onto the Faber-Castell Singapore Facebook Page. The closing date for participation is on 2nd June 2018 at 23:59.
