306 of Project 365: 45-65: Liberation, Unrest... a New Nation

I can't help but take a picture of this printed silk screen which is part of the "45-65: Liberation, Unrest ... A New Nation" exhibition at the National Museum of Singapore. 

Frankly, I quite enjoyed this exhibition which is both nostalgia & unfamiliar at the same time. Nostalgia because there are some artefacts on display which I can recognized but unfamiliar because some it was an era which I wasn't born yet.

 Besides the numerous printed silk screens and artefacts, there is also a black & white film screening of early Singapore. I noticed that there are numerous headphones around which I believe provide oral narration of Singapore's history. There are many seats provided, so you can really take your time to sit down & enjoy the exhibition. The best thing is admission is FREE. Can't beat that!

My Masterpiece

My sis & I were so inspired after visiting the exhibition "Dreams and Reality: Masterpieces of Painting, Drawing and Photography from the Musee d'Orsay, Paris" at the National Museum that we each chose a masterpiece and started drawing :) 

Here's my impression of Emile Bernard's The Harvest (Breton Landscape).

You can check out the details for the original masterpiece here.

This is how the back of the paper looks like. The museum provided all the drawing materials and reference books to make this possible.
