Primary and secondary school students gained a special insight into the contemporary art of Asia when Singaporean visual artist, Lim Poh Teck, took up a three-week residency with the Artists and Environment Designers In Schools (AEDIS) program.
During his stay, Lim Poh Teck was Artist-in-Residence for a week at Hawkesdale College, near Warrnambool, and managed to take in 11 Melbourne metropolitan primary and secondary schools. A major part of Mr Lim's busy schedule was a series of workshops and artist's talks at the National Gallery of Victoria's Education Services.
Mr Lim studied at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore and completed a Master of Arts at the University of New South Wales. His two and three dimensional works reflect his Asian traditions and his experiences of living and travelling in the West. This combination of East and West in his art has inspired him to further explore and interact with other cultures, "to experience each one with more depth".
These visits provided students with a lifetime opportunity to interact with a highly respected international artist, to gain an understanding of his influences, motivations and methods of working.
The AEDIS program is funded by the Department of Education, Employment and Training, and managed by Arts Victoria. Lim Poh Teck's visit was supported under the Memorandum of Understanding between Arts Victoria and the National Arts Council of Singapore.
