Mural Painting Reflection[6]
Wong Jia Min(1E1)
I think being serious and responsible are necessary for mural painting. We must be serious to prevent painting the wrong colour on the wall and we must reach our blocks punctually. We student must be serious when we are in the Science Laboratory and must reach the place where my friends and I have decided to meet punctually.The mural painting heps me in building friendship when other pupils involved in the mural painting talk to me and we chat about our school life. The part of the mural painting process that I had enjoyed the most was the 1st section of mural painting, because I was not familiar with the road direction, I did not know how to go to blk 725. Although I had a hard time walking around the blocks to find blik 725, I learnt to be independent and tried best to find it. Luckily, in the end, I found it!

On 25th may,I was tasked to help the NCC members to do the mural painting.I didn't did anything as I was unsure about the programme with the team. I felt that I was left out of the team because most of them are boys as I don't mix with boys frequently. If I was given another opportunity,I will try my very best to co-operate with the team.
Chia Chin Wei(2E5)
I think that teamwork is the most important quality that could help us to do a good job in the painting. If there's teamwork, everyone would have been assigned to do something rather than not doing anything. The quality above can help me to work as a team when there is a assignment assign to my group so that I could have my work done quickly. One part of the mural painting that I had enjoyed the most is that even though that is tiring to paint the wall, but I have a lot fun painting it.

1) I think that determination and patient are the qualities that is necessary to do a good job in the painting.
2) Determination can be applied in our studies such as daily practice in our work to get good grades. Being patient is also important as it keeps a person to keep going on.
3) The mural painting have help me by making more friends in my CCA group and building teamwork such as helping out each other in the painting.
4) The part that I enjoy the most in the mural painting is the painting of the wall. Because I had never painted on a wall.

Through the Mural Painting project, i think that teamwork is the most important.With everyone helping out, the Mural was completed in a very short time.My friend and I was assigned to help out the Boy's Brigade with their Mural.When we reach there, the Mural was almost complete. Some of the boys werehelping out while the others are resting. Later did i know it was because they tookturns to help out instead of crowding together to do the Mural. I think that they havevery good teamwork.Teamwork is very important. Whether it is school works, projects or even when playingbasketball, for example, everyone needs to help out to achieve good results. Even if onlyone person did not do anything to help out, nothing can be achieve.Some of people from Boy's Brigade are our friends but there are also others that we do not know. Despite that, we work together to finish the Mural. Not everyone was good atpainting but everyone was glad to help out. From the Mural Painting Project, we can learna lot from other CCAs. Overall, I think the Mural Painting project was very interesting andit helps us to learn from the other CCAs.
Mabel Tan(2E4)
To say the truth, it was actually my first time painting a mural. Ever since my primary school's art club , I have not attempted to paint on walls in void decks. Definitely, this is a first time for me! During the process of painting, everyone had to keep up the work. If one of us just went there to rest around and chat, the mural painting would have taken a much longer time. So in all, to say, teamwork was real important. However, leadership qualities were also learnt . Whenever the group needs directions in whether to paint a darker colour or lighter one, someone could give some advice or directions. It turns out to be helpful indeed when we asked one another about how to paint the characters. The qualities learnt could be applied in our daily lifes and what a valuable experience we had. I worked along with my CCA group members while painting the mural. I had not known much about them since they were actually secondary ones. I had thought that we would not get to interact with one another. But, we actually kept on steady conversations reagarding on who were we going to paint with and who was going to take charge of painting the background and so. It came as a surprise that they were really chatty and humorous. I enjoyed their company and the teamwork we had as a group. I wish that some day we can work together as a team again. Thumbs up for Mural painting!

Mural Painting Reflection [4]
Mural Painting Reflection [4]
Mavis Loberas (2E2)
In celebration of Damai Secondary's 15th Anniversary, fifteen murals have been drawn and painted in HDB blocks located nearby the school. In each of these murals, a CCA is assigned to paint the mural at hand, and each CCA is supervised by at least two art club members. Through my participation of this event, I have discovered that the most important qualities are teamwork and friendship. Priscilla and I have been assigned to block 717, where the design we are to supervise was swimming. The CCA group we have been assigned to was the Drama Club. We were all strangers to each other, but during this, Priscilla and I have gotten along well with these Drama Club members. Even though we did not see it, some sort of friendship was established, and we worked well through the process of painting (though we were only doing touchups, I enjoyed spending time after school to foresee this activity).
Teamwork is an important quality whether it is in or out of school. We need to build this team spirit: anything we need to do such as project work or even surviving marooned in an island would end up in disaster if we do not work together. Teamwork does not exist without friendship, because it would be very hard to work with a person if you do not get along well with them. With these qualities, personally I learned to be more social with people who I did not know, and that it taught me that it is possible to work together if we all have the task set in our heads.
One thing I enjoyed about the painting process was the chance to pick up a brush and color in between the lines of the mural. It may seem rather ridiculous, but I never really got the chance to paint the walls of my own home because I've been thought that I would create a grand mess. If there would be a chance for another mural painting, I know I would be interested
Teo Wei Suen(1E1)
I think that teamwork is very important in order to do a good job in the painting. The success of the mural painting was largely because of our good team-work. We must have an organized co-operation and combined effort to have a good job in the painting.
Teamwork is also the spirit of caring for others in your group and to help them, to support them and to win together. It can be done in our daily lives by a combined effective action of a group.
The mural painting has helped to promote friendship and teamwork in my CCA group. As we helped each other when they needed our help. And now, we are strong ties of friendship between the members of the club.
I truthfully enjoyed painting the mural pictures and it yields high interest and creativity
Darrell Lim(3E2)
Although the mural painting activity was a tough one, but it all ended well. To tell the truth, I really liked it a lot, especially the murals and I had a lot of fun. I think that the mural paintings can successfully ended because of the teamwork between the Art Club members and the various CCA groups. They helped each other in order to finish the job ASAP. On the first session, Tiffany and I were assigned to Choir, however, we were told to help with the Netballers. I think it’s because they have more murals to paint than the Choir. We really enjoyed helping the Netballers. The most important part in this activity is teamwork. It allows people to work together and get the job done as fast as possible. If people are not working individually instead of as a whole, they will not get the job done and not as successful as expected.
The last session, I helped out with the ‘Dancers’ in their murals. They need a quite a few people to help out because they have two murals and there are a few of them to finish up with the work. The other Art members helped out too. I really enjoyed in helping with the Dance Club members, as they were very kind towards students from other CCAs, concentrate on their work, and did their very best in completing the mural. I really admire the team spirit in the various CCA groups that I worked with. They were very focused in their painting and they helped each other. I hoped that we will have another chance to work with the various CCAs again. :D

I think a lot of team work is required in order to do a good job in painting, mural painting is not like drawing or painting on papers were individual could complete easily, it requires everyone in the team to cooperate and help each other as there are many occasions during painting requires team work, like the distribution of jobs or help in getting equipments for each other.
This activity create a great opportunity for different CCAs to build up friendship and team spirit among themselves. In order to do the painting well, everyone have to put in their best effect which is the spirit we should have in whatever things we do. I enjoy this activity a lot especially during the drawing section,we have to be very careful with the proportion when we transfer the drawing on to the wall and it is much more difficult as compare to drawing on papers
Koh Xing Ying (2E1)
Damai is celebrating it's 15th anniversary. Therefore, Art club and other CCA groups has participated in the Mural Painting.
I have participated in this event and find that it is extremely heart-warming. This event has allowed the Damians to get together to work as a team, make our neighborhood a better place to live in and change the image of the Damaians (in a more positive way) in the eyes of the public..
In order to do a good job in painting the Murals, I feel that we should have qualities that are also stated in our school mottos. And it is: FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY.
The qualities that I have mentioned above is applicable in my life and studies.
For example, Team work. It is a must to have them. As we must work in teams with our classmates during our PW lessons or when doing our projects.
During my participation in the event, I worked with the Girl Guides. They are a bunch of friendly, hard working and delightful girls. They did their job with responsiblity,and we were able to finish off our mural in just 2 sessions with no complications! I am honored to work with them.
This mural painting experience allowed me to gain more friends and allowed me to work better as a team.
This event is a extremely delightful and unforgettable experience for me and it has proved to be a successful way of gathering the spirits of the Damaians and
allowing us to work better together as a team.
I feel that the school should organize more of such events that benefits both our school and the others.
I truly enjoy this whole experience!
Priscilla Shih (2E2)
Its the 15th Anniversary Mural Painting. I participated in the Mural Painting with other CCA groups we are allocated to. As such, I am partnering with Mavis to work with the Drama Club to complete the mural painting of swimming at blk 717.The first day of the mural painting was quite fun as we had to work together, even if we did not knew each other. We started by decided who shall do which colour. After that Mavis and I would have to do the touch-ups. Even though we had no teachers to supervise us, we completed the task with the given paint in a few hours time. The second day was truly a tiring day. We had to paint the mural under the direct sunlight and it was really tough. Despite the heat, we also tried to finish the task. However, till about 4 plus pm, the teacher-in-charge told us to stop work and pack up even though the time is not up, as it is really very hot out there. The teacher-in-charge is afraid that we might get heatstroke, therefore we are able to pack up early. Through these two days, I really enjoyed working with the drama club. I also learnt that, anywhere we go, teamwork is very important. Without teamwork, we will not be able to accomplish the task. Therefore, we must learnt to work with others no matter where we are.

Today, I had been tasked to assist a respective CCA in their mural painting. It is enjoyable as I can have the chance to work with other students and to be able to participate in Damai Secondary's 15th Anniversary activities. I feel that having these kind of activities are important as it makes me understand the meaning of celebrating an anniversary, and at the same time, we can interact with students from the same school in order to complete the mural painting beautifully. From this project, Teamwork and cooperation is very important. If everyone cooperates, the team would be able to work faster and completes things more quickly. If one member does not cooperate, then the whole process would be affected. A team doing mural painting is not fully dependant on one's skills and techniques. Rather, it is more focused on the team's cooperation.
Nur Aisha Bte Nordin (2e4)
As this is my first year in art club, mural painting is new to me. I was tasked to help the choir members to do their painting with yu yen. I felt excited as this is the first time that I will be doing mural painting. I expected mural painting to be quite relaxed but if we do not match the painted picture and sample picture it would be tedious as we may end up doing a lot of errors so that may result in bad quality work.:( most of the painting was done by the choir members as they were mostly in charge of it. Overall, the mural looked quite okay.. I felt a bit lazy because I was feeling so hot due to the temperature. After most of the work was done, I went to the NCC mural as I was being pleaded by my friend, Raudah as she was the only girl there.. in overall, a person must know how to paint properly so that the mural would not look like a mess and endurance is also important especially if we are tasked to do on a hot day like today.
YueMin (2A2)
It was warm and boring at the painting.I did not get to paint much as i am from art and we only get to do the nonimportant stuff.There was no much fun for me . But i can see others work n have fun painting. I can also see others artistic talent too. But it was fulflling to see others talent .
Thats all .More CIP pls ! But not under the sun !

Damai 15 Anniversary Mural Painting Reflection (1)
Mural painting reflection[1]
Jasmine See (3E1)
I feel that art techniques and full concentration are necessary in order to do a good job in the painting. If a person’s art techniques are not grasped fully, the end product would not be as nice as compared to a person whose art techniques are very good. Even although good art techniques can only be used for those students who takes art, full concentration applies to everyone in their daily lives. Being fully focused in everything we do often leads to successful attempts in the things we do. Participating in the mural painting activity lets me have a sense of belonging to the CCA, as I seldom interact with the other CCA members, and lets me understand the importance of teamwork and friendship. Having a cooperative team allows us to work things out faster and more effectively. Therefore, this mural painting experience allows me to have the chance to make more friends. I enjoyed helping in the painting of the mural as I love to paint and I would not be so bored if I had something to do besides assisting the CCA group. Overall, the mural painting activity is very meaningful as it portrays the various activities in the upcoming 2010 Youth Olympic Games and allows the students to be more actively involved.
Cheng Kailin (3E1)
Today experience was a first for me. I was allocated to help NCC in the mural painting however I thought mural painting might be difficult but turned out to be quite quickly done as the NCC members done their own job well thus it was completed before the time limit which was 5pm. At the end of the day it was pretty well done as we coated the colours more than once. I think we did a good job on it. Though some people who are suppose to attend did not come we managed to complete it anyway. I think all of us think we did well for the wall and it is a good experience for me to be able to work with new people and one who I met once in the sec 3 camp.

Darrell and I was tasked to collaborate with the Choir members on painting the rowing themed mural. We went over to paint with the netballers and band members shortly after as the choir members were doing a great job without our presence. So Dajing called Darrell to tell us that we could help out at painting with the band members...
What i found out most importantly from this project is that it takes a group to coordinate well. Everyone takes their own position, the spot which they were suppose to paint. We don't cross over to other people's spot, so as to ensure we won't bumped onto others which in turn create a mess on that particular spot. I was amazed... I found something which amazes me a lot... Yesterday, i came to realize that in each and every person, (or almost all) there's a hidden artistic ability in them... the band members, netballers were all very careful in making sure that they paint properly and ensure no mistakes were made... Like dripping paint onto other parts, or like paint out of the region and etc... and some can really ''mask'' well! I was truly impressed by it...
Yesterday was a great moment to catch up with one of my junior from student leader who also went with me for the China Twinning Trip as well as with one of my teachers who were overlooking the students on this. I believe all CCA group involved in this project would establish a great rapport among them.

I feel that art techniques and full concentration are necessary in order to do a good job in the painting. If a person’s art techniques are not grasped fully, the end product would not be as nice as compared to a person whose art techniques are very good. Even although good art techniques can only be used for those students who takes art, full concentration applies to everyone in their daily lives. Being fully focused in everything we do often leads to successful attempts in the things we do. Participating in the mural painting activity lets me have a sense of belonging to the CCA, as I seldom interact with the other CCA members, and lets me understand the importance of teamwork and friendship. Having a cooperative team allows us to work things out faster and more effectively. Therefore, this mural painting experience allows me to have the chance to make more friends. I enjoyed helping in the painting of the mural as I love to paint and I would not be so bored if I had something to do besides assisting the CCA group. Overall, the mural painting activity is very meaningful as it portrays the various activities in the upcoming 2010 Youth Olympic Games and allows the students to be more actively involved.

Mural Drawing - reflection.
On friday, 15 may 09. The committee and some art students headed back down to school even though it was a day off for some of us. We had to draw the murals around Damai in order for the other 15 ccas to paint it for Damai's 15th anni. It was an experience for me since this is my first time doing mural drawing. We had to gather back in damai for a briefing before heading to the given blocks we were suppose to draw. Measuring the length & height for the mural was not easy neither getting everything straight was easy too. My group had to draw on tennis and it wasn't as easy, many residents passed by and stop to appreciate what we were doing. My group worked under the sun non stop for at least 3 hours. Sweat was dripping down from your forehead but thankfully mr saiful bought bottles of water for us just to cool us down from the hot hot weather. In the end we finished the drawing at around 12+ and headed back to school to take a break. Overall i had a great time drawing and luckily the heat didn't kill any of us.
PICTURES TIME!
