After a month of adapting the new normal of mixed-mode online learning, a group of students joined a fun and artistic afternoon with Ms. Michelle Leung, Advanced Instructor of Pastel Nagomi Art & Registered Social Worker to taste the serenity out of busy school life.

Pastel Nagomi Art is a form of healing art founded in Japan, which uses powered pastels and fingers to create a transparent, gentle, warm and heart-touching art through simple yet unique ways of painting techniques. The word “Nagomi” carries the meaning of harmony, calm and peace.

Regardless of age and different skill levels, anyone can complete a piece of artwork without much difficulty. There is no right or wrong or any drawing rules. The therapeutic nature of this pastel art is able to sooth emotions, restore confidence, relax your mind, reduce stress and depression.
