A Week of Creative Exploration: Painting Without Paintbrushes

Last Updated: 16 Aug 2025 @ 00:00 AM

This week in our arts and crafts sessions, residents have been embracing creativity in new and exciting ways. Instead of traditional tools, we challenged ourselves to paint using anything but a paintbrush — and the results have been nothing short of inspiring!

One of the highlights was using cotton buds to create beautiful abstract flower designs. This unconventional approach sparked curiosity, encouraged experimentation, and gave everyone a chance to explore different textures and techniques. Residents enjoyed dipping into vibrant paints, dabbing and dotting their way to floral masterpieces that were as unique as the individuals who made them.

Beyond the artwork itself, the activity brought about laughter, conversation, and a wonderful sense of accomplishment. It was a fantastic reminder that creativity has no limits — and that sometimes, the most joyful results come from trying something a little different.
