A special group of children broke from their routine this week to take part in an engaging art project at Citywalk mall in Tsuen Wan.
The project, called 'Take a Break with ART', is an extension of the Sino Group's award-winning effort 'Art in Hong Kong', a programme that brings art to Hongkongers inside various Sino properties.
The latest project is housed in a Citywalk shop on the upper ground floor, numbered UG 45a and b. Artists from the Hong Kong Society of Illustrators have painted the shop's walls, and created objects, around the theme 'Take a break'.
There are depictions of take a break to shop, take a break for coffee time, take a break to be a sloth, take a break to feel the world. There's even take a break to fly over the city.
The exhibit - which lasts until early February - is not just focused on individual work or the illustrators' impressive joint mural. From time to time, the Sino Group invites the public to join the artists for art jam sessions, interactive art demonstrations for the curious and the creative.
An art jam session 'is a community art activity', said Nikki Ng, group general manager of the Sino Group. 'It is an art process that involves professional artists and community members in a collaborative creative process resulting in collective experience and public expression.'
