DISCOVER Flora Pastel Enrichment Program By TASA

DISCOVER Flora Pastel
By TASA | Drawing Nature with Soft Pastels

Take a closer look at the delicate beauty of nature through DISCOVER Flora Pastel by TASA—a hands-on art workshop where participants learn to observe, draw, and colour botanical forms using soft pastels.

Guided by TASA’s artist-facilitators, participants will be introduced to floral structures and natural forms, then taught how to bring them to life on paper using soft pastels. Through gentle layering, blending, and colour mixing, students will learn how to create soft gradients, vibrant highlights, and rich textures that capture the essence of flowers and leaves.

This session focuses on artistic expression through close observation, offering a calming and engaging space for creativity and appreciation of nature. No prior drawing experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

What the Workshop Covers:
– Introduction to basic floral forms and composition
– Understanding colour families and pastel layering
– Techniques for blending, shading, and creating depth
– Step-by-step demonstration and individual guidance
– Completion of a botanical pastel artwork on quality paper

Educational Value:
The workshop encourages mindfulness, observational skills, and creative confidence. It also supports visual art curriculum goals, including exploration of materials, development of hand-eye coordination, and personal expression through colour and form.

Suitable For:
Upper primary to secondary students, or any group interested in nature-inspired art experiences.

By the end of the workshop, each participant will have completed a vibrant soft pastel botanical drawing—a personal and expressive interpretation of flora in full colour.
