Programme Synopsis This programme is co:created with Soh Ee Shaun, a local artist and illustrator who is known for his vibrant and colourful artworks. Having recently started incorporating therapeutic practices in his art-making, this programme embodies Ee Shaun’s intentions of practising mindfulness and being present through the act of watercolour painting. Students would be guided through grounding exercises that invite them to notice sensorial elements in their surroundings. By translating these experiences through their use of colours and their motions while they paint, students learn that art-making can be used as a tool to regulate their emotions and create something beautiful and meaningful at the same time. This mindful practice is then continued in a visit to a gallery space (e.g. National Museum of Singapore, National Gallery) where they respond to the sensorial cues in the space and create watercolour paintings.
