Key Takeaways
O
ver the 5-day workshop, our group
had opportunities to learn and hear
from the 4 guest speakers- Yoko, Renee
Ting, Pixie Tan and Guo Liang on their
own personal encounters, challenges
and experiences in making or pursuing
art. Through their sharing, we learnt how
art could be used to practise self-care,
develop resilience and passion for their
individual craft. The many conversations
and dialogues enabled us as teachers to
reflect and also to understand the various
challenges that our students might face if
they choose to pursue art as their career
or profession. In this VUCA 21st century,
we have the responsibility to guide our
students to be open and ready for the
challenges that lie ahead.
