Virtual Art Therapy Workshop

As part of our continuous efforts to introduce virtual volunteering opportunities and engagement, we organised a virtual art therapy workshop for our partners and volunteers. The workshop was conducted by our in-house art therapist to promote self-care through art, allowing participants the opportunity to express themselves artistically.

Using familiar objects and art materials commonly found at home, participants were led on an imaginative and creative journey through art. Our art therapist introduced fundamentals such as shapes, patterns and colours whilst employing four different art techniques of colouring, patterns, pointillism and collage.

We were excited to know that our participants were able to put together beautiful art pieces even though some of them shared that they had little experience in art.

Susan, a participant, shared, “Art Therapy is new to me. I enjoyed the session and learnt how to relax better. Hopefully, I can volunteer at the centre and share this new knowledge with the elders soon!”
