ART

Dear Students,

As you may recall, at the end of the academic term, the school organized an
exciting trip to Oasis for all of you. I hope you had a wonderful time on the trip
and took this opportunity to create new and meaningful memories. Many of you
still cannot help but talk about it in your everyday conversations. Hence, to capture
and express your excitement in a memorable way, your holiday homework is to
create landscape art portraying the water park, Oasis. I want you to unleash your
creativity and use any art medium you are comfortable with, such as colored
pencils, paints, crayons, or markers. The goal of this assignment is not only to
create a beautiful piece of art but also to allow you to revisit the joyful memories
from the trip whenever you look at your landscape art.

You will require

An A3 size sheet Your preferred art medium (colored pencils, paints, crayons,
markers). Examples are on the next page.
