Tidbits of Juxtapose
Guided tours for the general public and workshops for children are part of the “Juxtapose” exhibition’s extended programme offerings. Positive feedbacks from the public echo the Foundation’s wish to raise awareness of the importance to conserve Macao's rich history and heritages.

Snapshots of the extended programme
In September, two tailor-made workshops with the new themes “History Re-told” and “Stop, Look and Think!” were being offered to children between the ages of 5-8, and 9-12.
Each workshop has its own characteristics. “History Re-told” takes children on an interactive journey through the exhibition to learn about the history and heritage of Macao. Meanwhile, “Stop, Look and Think!” allows children to enlighten their interest in art, with a docent-led tour leading them to explore the exhibition from a different perspective and in a creative way.
Let’s take a look at some of the workshops that were held in September!

Learning is not limited in school!
Without textbooks, “art-integrated learning” is pivotal to the development of creativity. Not only that, when art becomes the medium of teaching and learning, learning through arts helps students to understand concepts with “any” subject of the curriculum and discover connections between ideas.
Our current exhibition is a rare learning journey. For this exhibition, a set of engaging and participative guided tours has been designed for school students, using diversified learning models to provide access to creative ways to increase self-awareness (such as developing likes or dislikes) within our young learners that will help them to establish unique points of view as they mature. While watching works of art, they will also develop important visual skills that will help with reading, observation and concentration. They will also engage in imaginative activities during the tour that will lead to better skills in social interactions and emotional regulation.
In September, GalaxyArt has invited local schools to visit the exhibition "Juxtapose", including Millennium Secondary School, Sam Yuk Middle School, Escola de Santa Madalena, Escola de S. Jose Ka Ho and Tong Nam School. Students enjoyed the tour and had a great time with our docents.

Kids’ Corner
Children:
Hello, may I know why this cartoon looks three-dimensional?
Docent:
Oh, it is because when the artist Mr. Tang Mun Kian created this sketch, he applied three levels of visual plane: the foreground, middle ground, and background to build a sense of space.
Children:
Ah~ I got it! I will use this multi-layer technique to create three-dimensional paintings when I draw. I may even try doing the same when I compose my shot when I next take a photo!
