YEARS CHILDREN’S MUSEUM WORKSHOP

Can robots be artists? After observing robots with brushes amble across surfaces and make brushstrokes at random, children are invited to think about whether robots can be considered artists. They can also explore the tools used by artist Yeo Shih Yun to create her abstract ink paintings. What type of ink marks would you expect to see next?

The Keppel Centre for Art Education is open with limited capacity and Safe Management Measures in place so that you can enjoy a safe and fun visit with family and friends. Please check our website for the latest updates on what's happening at the Centre!
