iLight Marina Bay 2018

Lights, Stingray, Action! Seven Year 5 Visual Arts students, Mark Sng, Melody Sim, Megan Tay, Lee Yu Xin, Jedaeus Low, Merkayla Wong and Tan Meng Teck, worked hard for months under the guidance of Visual Arts teacher, Mr Zainudin, on their iLight Marina Bay installation - Himantura. Their work was featured at the lower board walk as part of iLight Marina Bay, which ran from 9 March to 1 April 2018.

Himantura is a kinetic sculpture and an abstract representation of a stingray and its movements. The students had to think of every detail from the name, to the mechanics and lighting up of their artwork! Fun fact: The pulsing lighting is inspired by the bioluminescence of sea creatures, in order to give it a more natural feel.
