Finding Joy in the Art Room: A Creative Journey

As an educator, I always look forward to moments when I get to be a learner myself. Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in an art class that truly sparked my curiosity and creativity. The session was centred around three fascinating forms of expression—nature art, embroidery, and texture art—each offering a unique way to connect with the world around us.

The journey began with nature art, where we explored the beauty of natural materials like leaves, twigs, flowers, and stones. It was a refreshing reminder of how art can be created outside traditional tools and mediums, simply by observing and appreciating nature’s own designs. I found it calming and inspiring to arrange natural elements into patterns and compositions, celebrating the Earth’s textures and colours.

Next, we dabbled in embroidery, a craft that taught me patience and attention to detail. Using needle and thread to create patterns on fabric felt meditative and deeply satisfying.

Our exploration ended with texture art, which invited us to experiment with various materials to create tactile, layered artwork. I am truly looking forward to more such sessions where I can continue to explore, create, and learn. Opportunities like these not only nurture our own growth as educators but also inspire us to bring more creativity and joy into our learning environments.
