When i was child, The Art class or we called it KTK (Kerajinan Tangan dan Kesenian) always be my number 1 subject. We have a free time for exploration our imagination, feeling thru paint & color.

Beside, tech era makes everything instant. AI will be our #1 hero solution for any struggle, include creative block idea. Children slowly forgot about the art of painting. AI control us a standard of beauty without a meaning.

However, does the beauty without meaning is nothing?

November, 2023, Kompas Gramedia took a great action for bring back the canvas alive in tech era.

I joined them as a volunteer to teach them how they can put their imagination thru canvas. It was a please time. Saw them interact with only their canvas. Put all their imagination and bring their own idea of “what should i do to save the earth?”

Indirectly, the art of canvas also teach us to find our identity. Dig their own creativity can lead them to find their self.

“what can i do to make the environment better?”

“does the little thing i do cam impact the world?”

They have a free time to put their creativity and tell people about their action without any words-just a potrait.

So they will slowly aware that each of them is valuable and have their own part of action.

Canvas is one of the best way to cultivate the awareness to children. Teach them to find their truly identity through the creativity. There’s no mouth to speak or ears to hear just eyes to see
