College's contribution to SG60 is a touch-up of the 50 SG50 community wall murals we put up 10 years ago, plus putting up an additional 10 new murals to make it 60. My CT got to paint one of the new ones, lucky us!
It was nice to see everyone engaged and focused on a singular task. Lacking experience didn't stop anybody. The paint-by-numbers task was simple enough, yet provided immediate feedback on how well (and how quickly) we were progressing. Various residents stopped to admire the new splash of colour, and commented appreciatively of the artwork, adding objective user experience feedback while we were painting.
Our mural was split between two load-bearing walls. The design was a triptych depicting 3 familiar local myths. The bottom photo represents Sang Nila Utama spotting his apocryphal lion, which gave our tiny island its current name. The above photo depicts a somewhat obscured legend of Kusu Island on the left, and the legend of Redhill on the right. Yes, somehow Redhill (Bukit Merah) is connected to a tale involving the defeat of a school of marauding swordfish that made a habit of skewering beachgoers, and some court intrigue.
Not often we get such high-profile opportunities to bond as a CT. Today's event was well-received by all involved.
