Research may seem boring, or hard work.... But, it is a fact of life. We do research every day and you may not realize it.... You want to get the latest shoes...YOU RESEARCH the latest styles.... you wish to find out about the activities for the upcoming Family Day and Bazaar...you research the activites on the Events page in Facebook... You want to find out why this girl likes you.....you ask questions(interview, a form of Research)...and so on and so on. As you get older, as you attend new learning institutions, you will see how important it is to conduct Researches and put together the information you have gathered into your own words.... that is- not plagiarize. The research would be a bit more structured and of course, in depth.
When you reflect on your experiences, you are of course researching within. There is a wealth of information within you that you have not fully analysed....by reflecting on them, you will be organising your thoughts, putting deeper meaning to your experiences and you will become more aware of yourself and your abilities.
With reference to your recent Research project using the Interview technique on na artist in your community, please share your experiences on your RESEARCH. How did you feel about it? What were your major problems? What made it enjoyable and rewarding for you?

Collage/Quilling Lesson
This post is intended for the Form One classes only!!!
Collage making is the art of sticking paper, and other relatively flat objects, on a flat surface. The element of TEXTURE is greatly highlighted in this art technique. Paper can be manipulated in various ways, for example, by cutting, tearing, folding, balling, crumpling, and even twisting.
The art of twisting paper lends itself to a special art technique called QUILLING, sometimes known as "paper filigree." Quilling involves the manipulation of paper through twisting, rolling and curling to create beautiful representational and abstract works of art. This art form has been around since the period of Renaissance. Quilling can be considered a form of collage making. Quilling can be done on cards, canvas boards, paper and other such surfaces.
Explore with this art form. It can be a great hobby!
