Fluid Art Workshop with Autism Kids by CKYC

蔡繼有書院辦“關愛自閉症”流體畫工作坊

 

蔡繼有書院學生志願者與澳門自閉症協會為自閉症小朋友及其家團舉辦了 “關愛自閉症- 流體畫工作坊”。

志願者們早早的來到了書院教室，做好了一系列房間設置、材料分發的準備，懷著熱情與期待準備迎接家團。在活動期間，小朋友們都顯得對流體畫和流體熊充滿了許多好奇，不停興奮地詢問著相關細節，心情十分雀躍。在流體畫導師和志願者的耐心協助下，小朋友們將顔料倒在畫和小熊上進行創作，充分給予孩子們自行創作的空間，讓小朋友們獨特的藝術能力得到充分的發揮。

在活動的過程中，我們發現家長們也十分興奮，他們在照顧小朋友的同時，也在享受著屬於自己的創作時光。一位家長朋友在活動過程中與我們聊天道：“參加這一類的活動我們也很開心，這種休閑類活動也讓我們釋放了一定的壓力。”作爲自閉症小朋友們的家長，他們也在照顧小朋友方面承受了一定的壓力。也許是不被他人理解，也許是過於辛苦，家長們也非常需要一個方式來釋放自己的壓力。許多第一次參加自閉症關愛活動的書院志願者們都表示，自己其實對自閉症群體有一定的誤解。大家可能都認爲自閉症小孩子們可能不太愛說話，比較內向。但實際上，通過這一次活動，我們發現許多小孩子們其實很活潑，在藝術上也很有自己的想法。志願者們都很開心能够在活動中接觸到自閉症小朋友們並給予他們幫助，照顧他們。

在這個活動中，院生增加了對自閉症的這個群體的瞭解，也從實踐上學會了一些如何關愛自閉症兒童的知識。愛與童心在活動中碰撞，共同繪製了一幅充滿溫情的畫。

Children with autism and their families were invited to join a fluid painting workshop that was arranged by CKYC and Macau Autism Association. During the activity, the children seemed to be very curious about the fluid painting, and we surprisingly found that the parents were also full of excitement. One parent chatted with us during the event and said, “We had a lot of fun participating in this kind of activity, and this kind of activity also allows us to release some stress, our kids had a lot of fun, and we enjoyed the creative process at the same time.”

Some of the volunteers said that they had some misconceptions about the autistic community before they got to know them better. Some may think that autistic children are less talkative and more introverted. But in fact, through this activity, we found that many of the little kids are actually very lively and have their own ideas and talents in art. The volunteers were in great delight at being able to reach out, help, and take care of the autistic children.

There is no doubt that we learned more about autistic children and the practical ways of caring for them. We sincerely hope to see more individuals engaging in this kind of volunteer activity in order to increase mutual understanding between different groups.
