IMPORTANT NOTE:

This Sketchwalk is organized in partnership with National Arts Council (NAC) and Filmat36, in conjunction with the launch of《忆记新加坡河》(Memories of Singapore River), an hour-long, heartfelt, documentary that takes viewers back in time to the Singapore River of yesteryears, through the artworks of three local second-generation artists.

In the afternoon, there will be 3 hourly screenings of the above-mentioned documentary, at 2:00PM, 3:00PM, and 4:00PM respectively. The screening is free, but admission is BY TICKETS ONLY.

The hosts have generously provided USKSG members with 90 tickets across 3 screenings (30 tix per screening). Tickets are available for collection during the start and end of the Sketchwalk, first come first served. Collect them from the sketch leaders of the day.

Don’t miss the opportunity to take a nostalgic trip down memory lane or learn of Singapore River’s colorful (literally) history!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Watercolour is not allowed in the museum, only pencils/pen. I added some quick shades to record the lighting before our show and tell and went back to the museum to add more lines. Darker watercolour shades were then added at home. I also added the stories on the artifacts in the sketch plus the entry sticker which read "Treasures of the Aga Khan Museum, Architecture in the Islamic Arts". With that, I wish all my Muslim friends Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!
