On a hot Monday afternoon, and instead of sitting in the cool (abet still rather warm) classroom, the entire batch of AEP students were rounded up to go on a trip to view statues.

.........

While it might seem rather unnecessary waste of time to all those people out there who do not appreciate art, it is important to us art students. (Exam material!)

Our group made slow but steady progress throughout our intended route and received an informative description about each statue from our teacher. Even with my supposed superior art appreciation skills, I did find the occasional statue boring and plain, but thankfully most of them were interesting and pretty cool in general.

I really think the water is the coolest part of this statue. The reflection in the water is a near perfect copy. Too bad there's a some ripples that cause the image to blur a little.

When first asked to name the body part this sculpture was modeled after, my logical (in my opinion) was a leg, and I still think it looks like a leg. :( Anyway, turns out it is a statue of multiple faces, multiple distorted faces.

Grrr, so much smoke! This place feels like a smoking heaven for those smokers just outside the picture. I couldn't enjoy viewing the statue in peace with them there!

One of my favorites. I really like artworks that interact with you.

And at last, the one and only chicken statue! Well, I'm sure there must be more chicken statues out there but it certainly is the first one I have seen in Singapore. It is made of bronze and really soaks out that afternoon sunlight...I think I could have fried and egg on it.
