THE INDEPENDENCE & LIBERTY

Every time when I got to pass by you in downtown,

the natural sunlight that shone into your school often had my gaze turned in …

You were the school with the full front big glass, lots of sunlight shining in and plenty of colourful elements contained within the space.

I would often have to pass by you when I went about my errands in downtown.

Little would I expect that we crossed path both in the first and second campus, before the Wu Han outbreak and after the easing of covid-19 measures, and we even had a couple of “Home-Based Learning” where our classes were conducted from the little art studio. Videos on, and boy were you so relaxed on the couch…

I can’t remember whether it was a Wednesday or some other days.

I would be so excited each time and looking forward to travel to downtown to see you after my mornings at the farm.

We had our art class once a week for less than an hour, and the less actually graciously guided us to so much more.

I got to create lesson plans for us, where it was usually already created.

I got to source and purchase art materials for us, where it was usually already provided.

I got to see you and do art with you at a pretty relaxed pace, where it manifested the space for more creativity and balance.

I enjoyed seeing you in your most natural playful selves, while we planted in some instructions to see us through the art.

Being able to experience a part of your free spirit, originality and spectrum of emotions has created a home ground where we can just be ourselves and grow together through the art.
