Guest at the International Conference
Environment/ Nature-inspired expression
The purpose of this workshop aims to get participants to re-connected with nature or the environment and with each other through the art-making process.
Learning Objectives:
1) Re-connect with senses of seeing, hearing, touch, and feeling.
As professionals, our hectic lifestyle often made us task-focus and in the process, we often lose sight of living a meaningful life. The outdoor activity provides the participants an opportunity where they are given time to reconnect their senses with nature which is often oblivious to them.
2) Inspired resourcefulness and overcoming limitations creatively
In life, we often experience limitations and boundaries brought about by our settings or own circumstances. This workshop can inspire participants to see from alternative perspectives and find creative ways to overcome the limitations or challenges faced during the art-making process. They will also get to learn to utilize resources in their surroundings creatively to make art.
3) Re-connecting with self and others, with an enhanced appreciation for their surroundings
Participants get to be re-connected with self while in meditative and reflective mode. They will also get to experience being connected or re-connected with others through team art-making. Inspirations can occur from exchanges of ideas, sharing of views, and working together.
