Download or read book Artivities: Exploring Inner & Outer Worlds through Art written by Shilpa Gupta and published by National Gallery Singapore. This book was released on 2023-10-20 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artivities encourage exploration of both personal experiences and broader world perspectives through the engaging power of art. It is based on the artist Shilpa Gupta’s original “artivity” sheets and her inflatable sculpture Untitled (2023). This new iteration has been developed collaboratively by Shilpa Gupta and therapist Rosie McGowan. The following illustrated pages invite young minds to interact and navigate through complex emotions and reactions to conflict and other challenges. Thoughtfully designed, they engage children, parents, caregivers and teachers in a shared exploration of creativity, empathy and understanding. The artivities align with Untitled (2023), the latest work commissioned for Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Series at National Gallery Singapore, and reflect Gupta’s overall artistic practice.
