On June 10, art facilitator Arlene Javier conducted a Modern Calligraphy Workshop.

The workshop offered a renewed appreciation of the art of calligraphy and the kind of discipline required to execute this art form.
On June 11, a Floral Painting Workshop designed for art enthusiasts of all ages was facilitated by Carla Chua. A step-by-step process was demonstrated on how to apply colors to a flower using the Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils.
