SAFRA Toa Payoh, Sports Meeting Room (Level 2)
Landmarks in history and current timelines, are locations of importance. Traders, friends, families and even the intimate pairing of lovers choose to meet at these venues. In line with this, EMS would like to get the participants to realise these landmarks with drawing techniques and share their unique memories of these places.
Participants will be able to access images of the varying landmarks within Toa Payoh GRC via Wi-Fi. These landmarks will be then translated into landscape drawings by participants after being guided by EMS Art Collective’s input and advice for the technique application. EMS Art Collective will then collate the images done by participants and archive the drawings for the final exhibition.
This landmark drawing workshop will help in the discernment of landmarks and the importance of these structures to the Toa Payoh landscape. Participants will also be asked to share their memories of the landmark selected. The drawings will be returned to participants post exhibition.

Blending into the surroundings is a survival technique demonstrated by many in the animal kingdom; colour changing by chameleons and squids, mimicry by insects such leaf insects and stick insects.
What about mankind? We use camouflage.
Participants will be guided to creatively express various ideas into camouflage techniques. Using the A4 Standees, create a form of camouflage to “disappear” into the background. EMS Art Collective will then collate the images done by participants and archive the drawings for the final exhibition.
