In
a world that's increasingly fast-paced and virtual, people are discovering the
meditative calm and visual pleasure offered by the new generation of coloring
books for adults. Adult
colouring books are a great way for people to relax, be creative, and go back
to their childhood.
Coloring
is accessible.
It unleashes the creativity we
all have in a way that is safe.
For these
reasons, SKSS grade 9 & 10 art students decided to create their own sophisticated
colouring book. Illustrating images for
a collective purpose became a way to show individual creativity, share artwork
outside of the classroom, and an opportunity to invite others to be a part of their art making.
Students participated
in multiple colouring parties hosted at the school that were fantastic community events with teachers, counselors, principals, friends, grandparents
and parents in attendance, taking time to connect with art students through the
simple act of colouring.
