In an inspiring artistic atmosphere, children participated in the 'Bonsai Trees' workshop as part of the Sharjah International Book Fair. They were introduced to an ancient Japanese art that embodies patience and harmony between humans and nature. The workshop's idea was inspired by the movie 'Kung Fu Panda'. Children used simple tools to create their miniature tree models, turning tables into vibrant, living artworks. The supervisor, Cheryl Angelis, explained that the goal is to teach children that beauty can be made from humble tools and that art is a means to instill patience and self-confidence. The workshop also addressed the importance of trees in protecting the environment, giving participants both aesthetic and environmental awareness. At the end, the children proudly carried their small trees, a scene that embodies the spirit of the fair and Sharjah's mission to instill a love for creativity in new generations.
