Outline

Have you ever felt the desire to express your thoughts and feelings and share them with others? In this workshop, you will create artwork based on several familiar themes, share them with other participants, and engage in dialogue.

In the first session, participants bring something they like and introduce it to the group. Through conversation, they explore and express their own sensibilities and interests. They then take part in a series of creative activities based on several themes, using familiar materials such as paper clay, paints, blocks, and other craft supplies. This process helps them expand their ideas, discover the themes and images they want to express, and prepare for creating their final work in the second session.

In the second session, each participant creates a piece based on their chosen theme, and the completed works are then displayed. Afterwards, participants view one another’s work and engage in dialogue, sharing the thoughts and feelings behind their expressions. Finally, the workshop concludes with a reflection session.
