Trip to Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts

In today's post, I am going to talk about something different. Something unrelated to board games and card games. I will be talking to you about my trip to the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts with my art class yesterday. Why should I tell you about this? Well, I wanna show you my personal life too through this blog. I wanna show other things too other than board games. So, here I go!


Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, otherwise known as NAFA, is a post-secondary education institute that specialises in the Arts. The institute has different courses for different people here. You can get diplomas such as Video Production, Jewellery Design, 3D Design, Dance, Animation and more. Since this school specialises more in the Arts sector, you won't find any courses specialising in things like Engineering or Business Studies. For that, you have polytechnics. The institution has 3 campuses. The one I went to was Campus 1. All three campuses are located in the Bencoolen area. Campus 2 and 3 are separated and they are not together unlike polytechnics.


Upon entering the building, you will see a group of the students handing out the NAFA goodie bags. The goodie bag is the one featured on the cover photo. Once we have entered the building, we went inside this particular theatre and one of the lecturers introduced us to the institution. He told us about all the different courses NAFA has to offer and all the awards the students won. After that, we went to check out the hallway which consists of artworks inside display cases much like a museum.


Other places includes the Video Production lab which showed us films Video Production students have made, Jewellery Design workshop for the Jewellery Design students, there's even a nude painting workshop there but there weren't any nude models at the time we went there. Who in the right mind would wanna see a nude model posing in front of the Open House patrons? Other than that, there's a studio, in which Art teachers have been trained. So, some Art teachers have been trained in this particular course at NAFA. What else? Oh, there's an art gallery too! It showcases traditional Chinese paintings and calligraphy.


All in all, the Open House was fun and it was totally worth it. If you wanna visit the place, you can go to the any of the three campuses at 151 Bencoolen Street. Although the Open House will only operate for two days, the art gallery at Campus 1 will constantly change and it will feature new artworks. If you wanna take up courses there, you can at the NAFA Admissions Centre, also located at NAFA Campus 1. Below are some photos of the goodie bag contents and some of the artworks featured.
