On Friday, 15th of June, School 4 had a fair and our year had to come up with an activity for the kids. However, me, Matanat and Yein decided to do face painting for the kids. Eventhough I'm not so good at art, can't even draw properly on paper, I practiced a lot of time drawing designs on paper. And they were not good at all! At least, that's what I think. I asked a lot of help from Yein, and of course she helped me a lot in preparing. She sent me some basic designs that I could probably use for practice and it actually helped. The night before the fair, I was drawing on my hands and on my brother's hands and on everywhere that I could possibly draw. It was a lot of fun torturing my brother!
During the fair, I struggled a bit because the designs that the school provided us were pretty hard, but I still could draw something good on the kids' faces. Some of the kids asked me to draw a flag, fireworks, butterfly and flowers. Some even asked me to draw a dragon and spiderman, which is totally impossible! I really didn't want to ruin the kids' faces. I was really scared, so I told Yein that she could do the hard ones, and I would do the basic ones. And of course Yein did it perfectly.
I was just hoping that the kids liked my work of art on their face, because I'm not the best artist! At all!
The CAS learning outcomes that I achieved with face painting are:
- Developed new skills, as this is the first ever time I ever ever face painted on people
- Increased my awareness of my own strengths and areas for growth, as I have practiced a lot of time and I know what I have to improve and I actually might do this more often so, I can do this activity again
