reflections

Gar Yim:

This 3-day art workshop is very enriching for me. It not only gives me the opportunity to improve on mine art works, but also allows me to explore mine own creativity. I believe that through this workshop, I also build up mine own confidence. At first, I started out being a person who is unsure of one’s art works. I always think that mine art works are ugly. However, the mentors helped me step by step in improving my art works. They taught me skills to draw a better picture without lesser effort. Thus as the workshop continued, I was better able to come up with y own designs and draw them freely on the fabric and wood provided. This gave me a strong sense of achievement when I see mine completed art works. Thus, at the end of the lesson I will be able to conclude that a good art work is must not only be pretty, but must be creative as well.

For the 3-day art workshop, I enjoyed myself a lot. I also got a chance to draw and paint, as normally I cannot afford the time to do so. At first, all of us dare not draw or paint anything on the materials provided, like pencil case and bookmarks. However, as time pass, we gradually gain confidence and produce more works. Also, the works that we made will be sold to raise funds. I thought this was actually a good idea. Making something means it is unique and that can be a point to attract buyers. Moreover, it is handmade, so in a way we are thanking the buyer with our sincerity. In conclusion, the 3 days prove to be fun for me!

This was my first time attending an art workshop and I was really enlightened by the passion for art that is portrayed by my Workshop Instructors. More importantly, I am very thankful for them for being such good volunteers by taking their precious time to guide us along throughout this workshop. I am also more than grateful when the teachers rendered me help when things went wrong while I was painting. I’ve learnt so many new art skills, especially how to paint well, since I am in charge of painting items during the workshop. I tried hands-on on various materials, including wood and fabric. It was something I have not tried on in my life since such opportunity was not given to me before. Although it was hard to paint on fabric cloths, I tried my best to ensure perfection in my artwork. Perseverance and patience was indeed an important mindset that I had used throughout this three day workshop.

Pan Yin:

The three days art workshop was an incredible experience for me. I was in the group that was given the task of designing the collage that was going to be given to the HongKong and Maipo Wetland Reserve. As we were working together designing the collage, I was able to interact with the students from other schools and get to know them better. Although there were a lot of changes made to the design as we progress, the product had still turn out to be quite successful. I had an enjoyable time through the whole process and it had given me the taste of the importance of perseverance and teamwork. I had also tried designing the bookmarks that was going to be on sale. It really gives me a satisfaction upon seeing the products that we have made during the three days of the workshop.
