Contemporary Art
Practices in Schools!
(CAPS!)
STAR’s milestone programme -- Contemporary Art Practices in
Schools! (CAPS!), is a week-long programme which comprises
of an artist’s talk and a series of workshops or open studio
sessions. CAPS! allowed our art teachers to experience
contemporary inquiry-based approaches to artmaking, through
the investigation of ideas, materials, and technical processes.
Contemporary artists working in different areas of expertise --
2D, 3D, Media and Curating, were invited to mentor our teacher-
participants over the course of the five days.

CAPS! provided a wonderful opportunity for our teachers to
renew and refresh their role as learners and practitioners of art.
The following reflective notes by teacher-participants reveal
how they find new energy and excitement in their artmaking.
