Nagomi Art

Dawn, a volunteer at Warm Heart from Singapore, introduced the children to Nagomi Art, a form of Japanese art healing founded in Japan, using pastels and fingers to create a gentle, transparent, warm and heart-touching art through simple yet unique ways of painting techniques.

The kanji character of “NAGOMI” is ‘和’, which means harmony. The therapeutic nature of this art is able to create sense of harmony and enhance the self esteem of the painter.

This art helps to calm and relax one’s mind as the painters go through the process to choose and blend the colors and complete the beautiful art piece all by themselves. Basically it’s an art for everyone and anyone!

For this project, the kids were making cards to send to their sponsors to thank them for being their sponsor.

Dawn created a short video showing the steps to Nagomi Art. Watch to see how much fun Nagomi Art can be!

Below are the results of our contest.
