The Talented Handiccapers

Monday (08/06/2009)

a) The Handicapped People
· Today, Jin Shan shared a poster with us on handicapped people.
· Kids said that they could see many of them at night market. They shared their experience. Some would donate, some parents would not as they could be only disguising themselves.
· Some are natural borned handicapped while some because of accidents.
· To continue living, they have to be determined and think wisely of what to do. After all, the main boss of our body is the brain.

b) Various Handicappers
· The poster showed how some of them painted using their mouths, some using their legs wile some only using a hand.
· The kids were lost for words to see these.
· I showed them some video clips of their beautiful pictures. One man actually lost his 2 legs but he could draw and paint the picture of Mona Lisa fantastically; on a Hong Kong Street. Another girl used her mouth to draw a beautiful tiger.

c) Drawing Differently.
The kids disguised themselves as Handicappers and they could either use their mouth or legs to draw.
· Initially, they thought it was easy but then just hardly 5 minutes, they already started commenting.
· Jen Ning used her legs to sketch but used her hand to colour. Jin Nan used her left hand to draw as she is a right handed.
· Max, Eugene, Ze yan were rather determined not to give up and yes, the pictures were not that nice compared to their usual work. Now, they could understand better how talented those Handicapped artists were.
