MIS Creative Arts in Spring
On Friday 17th March, MIS was proud to host a wonderful concert featuring MIS students and staff. The standard of performance was excellent, and the repertoire included works from Mozart, Brahms, Chopin, Chen Gang, Beethoven, Baker, culminating in outstanding rendition of the Flute and voice.
Message from Fred Zhang
Head of Creative Arts
I am very proud of all the performers from the Seniors School who have demonstrated perseverance, courage, and commitment to their musical instrument. Since the beginning of term, our performers have been undertaking weekly instrumental lessons, and performance opportunities inside the school: such as Buskers Corner, the MIS Chinese New Year Concert and at the weekly Seniors Assembly. Outside of the school, students have performed at the Shahe Golf Club and will be performing on the 14th April at the Nanshan Cultural and Sports Center Theatre, one of Shenzhen’s premier concert venues. Lastly, next term, we look forward to staging the epic, Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Putting Spring in the Picture
Over the past number of week, MIS students have been busy expressing the theme of ‘Spring’ in their artwork. They can use any material or style including watercolour, sketching, sculpture, digital art or graphic art to convey this organic concept. The entire MIS student community have been encouraged to take part, from Early Years to Year 13. Ten Winners will be presented with their awards at our MIS Concert on 14th April 2023. As ever, it has been wonderful to see the children engaged in producing age appropriate thoughtful, insightful and engaging pieces of artwork.
The Poetry Writing Challenge:
Spring Emerges
Not to be outdone, our young writers have been writing perceptive and emotive poems about the meaning of Spring. Organized by our thriving English and EAL Department, it is encouraging to see the academic rigour of our students conveyed through the medium of the written verse. There will be 3 placed Winners and 7 Excellence Prizes will be awarded at our forthcoming MIS concert. In many ways, our young poets are artists with ‘words’ and their verses are a continuation of the opening lines which read:
The world awakens from its wintry slumber.
As the first blooms of spring emerges.
"Close to Poetry in Spring"
Poetry Activities
“Poetry, also called verse, a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language− such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre − to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of,a prosaic ostensible meaning."
Let's get close to poetry in spring and create it together! There are various prizes!
Rules:
1F Library: Feel the Poetry
Children only need to read aloud and feel the poems on the display board.
2F Library: Poetry Collage
Cut out sentences or words from newspaper and paste them on a piece of paper to form a poem.
3F Library: Poetry Connection
Write down the corresponding vocabulary according to the requirements on the display board and con-nect them into a poem.
An authentic British Education places a great emphasis on the importance of the Creative Arts and we thank Mr. Fred Zhang (Head of Creative Arts) and his gifted team for giving MIS students an array of ‘creative’ opportunities in which they can discover and develop their many talents.
