🍎🍆🖌️ Explore the Harmony of Xing Shen in Session 3 of Our Chinese Art Painting Class

Hello friends of ICS! 🎨🤗

We are thrilled to share the highlights from our 3rd session of our Chinese art painting class, where we discovered the concept of Xing Shen - the balance of body and mind - through the vibrant world of fruits and vegetables. 🧘‍♂️🍓

In Chinese philosophy, Xing Shen emphasizes the importance of harmony within ourselves, reflecting the unity of our physical and mental well-being. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Chew, we delved into the intricate details of painting various fruits and vegetables in the Chinese style. 🍅🎨

The results were nothing short of spectacular! 🌽🍇 Each stroke on the canvas was a mindful reflection of the harmony we were seeking to achieve within ourselves.
