This was done by all of Sec 4 GAP in 2007! as our SIA.
It is a giant tree 3m tall and was displayed at Nanyang’s art exhibition 2007 for 90th anniversary. It was also used as coverpage for Nanyang’s ‘07 coffee table book!

))

The theme of the exhibition was ‘the green dot’. And the the concept behind our work was man being the responsible of this earth, holding up all other beings. Out actions have a big impact on all other life on earth. We should save this earth we support.

Title: Tree of life – Media: Acrylic colour – Size: 4m by 3m – Approx. date: August 2007

The way we did this was by firstly drawing out the whole tree on a smaller piece of paper, 2m by 1.5m (actually not very small also haha). Then we divided and cut the tree up and everyone took a piece home to enlarge by 1.75 times and paint our animals individually. The enlarging was done by drawing grids for our pieces, and then grid-ing the bigger cardboard paper 1.75 times then drawing it in. Then we started painting.

But after we all completed our pieces of the puzzle, our pieces did not fit! at all! there were many overlapping parts, so we resorted to cutting each animal out and fitting them together on green paper. It was a very tedious process but we got it done in the end! and it is really worth it
