Creating Healing Picture Books: A First Experience Workshop

This workshop teaches the basic skills of creating picture book stories and transforming text into story illustrations, using art as a powerful outlet of emotions. The well-acclaimed local artist Nalok.Lok will share his works on mental health, and discuss how he expresses trauma through the art of illustration.

After completion, participants will find it easier to come up with interesting stories and skillfully express their inner thoughts and life experiences through illustration, trying to convey their feelings without words, thereby finding a way out for emotions.
