The Sweetest Gift @ ION Orchard
Come down to ION Art gallery and attend Peter Draw’s specially conducted art workshops for children. Themed “The Sweetest Gift”, Peter will not only teach the art of drawing, but also impart what he learned from the children he has met during his travels, namely, how to be kind and thoughtful and spread happiness to those around them.
From Saturday June 5 to Wednesday June 9, Peter will hold two workshops a day, each lasting an hour for about 50 children. The children will play games to discover and understand the triggers for happiness. They will also have the opportunity to have their paintings displayed at ION Art gallery for public viewing, alongside the artworks of children from ASEAN countries.
And that’s not all; at the end of each workshop, each child will be given three packs of candy, symbolic of their promise from Peter to pass around the sweetest gift of all – Happiness. On June 6, children from the Children’s Cancer Foundation will participate in the workshop.
