Team Bonding Workshops @ St Luke's Hospital & NCS

In the past few months that CARTWHEELS was set up, we conducted not one team bonding workshop but TWO in November 2019 and January 2020! We’re so blessed and grateful for the opportunity given to us. It has been so inspiring seeing everyone’s creative processes.

My hope for process art is that not only children who experience process art but also adults. I strongly believe that process art stirs up the creativity that lies dormant in us and promotes mental wellness. It provides a space for adults to explore and express creativity in a safe and restful atmosphere.

Our Team Bonding Workshops are really about allowing members to discover creativity individually and as a group. There is so much involved, from learning creative skills to identifying team values, that brings significance to the whole art making process. Here are what some participants commented about their experience:

Not just terrarium making, it allows you the room for creativity, reflection and thought.

Thanks! It really takes the stress off!

It is an awesome session, keep up the good work!

The Apple Tree Story

I first heard this story about 13 years ago when I was working as a social worker. I attended a course on working with youths and my ex-secondary school principal was the trainer. She told us about “The Apple Tree Story” and even gave us a tiny apple each. This story left a deep impression on my heart. Thereafter, I wanted to tell the story to my youths but I couldn’t find it written as a story book so I made a very make-shift one on powerpoint with some simple graphics. It has always been a wish of mine to illustrate this story into a book no matter how amateurish an artist I am.

The Apple Tree Story is about discovering your uniqueness and knowing that you're special, a masterpiece in the making. I've also created a lesson plan of an apple tree artwork to go along with the story. And then to celebrate with a delicious easy to make apple crumble.

To explore more, you can also enjoy an online education game that I've created based on the story on TinyTap https://www.tinytap.it/activities/g3cyi/play/the-apple-tree-story

Welcome to CARTWHEELS

So I've discovered my love for creating, what's next then? I've been engaging my children in art activities since they were as young as 1 year old, I've been painting and lettering, also involved in a lot of DIY projects, on my own as well. In our tiny apartment of 69 square metres, we have created so much fantastic art and I believe that process art can be accessible to everyone, at any space possible. What do I do with all the ideas and resources I have?

Thus CARTWHEELS, a place to share my ideas and resources to the community. Through CARTWHEELS, I hope to instil rhythms of creating art in everyday life. At CARTWHEELS, both children and adults can enjoy process art.

And a big thank you to friends and family who have encouraged me on this endeavour of making process art accessible to everyone, because a day filled with art, is a day filled with joy, hope and peace.
