The workshop " Thematic Relaxing Acrylic Painting" was held at Campus B, from painting tools to sound and light are arranged into a unique art space creating a cosy atmosphere, stimulating participants’ creativity.

With open space, participants can interact and chat, share connections with each other, exchange experiences and admire beautiful paintings. This not only creates an art space but also builds a more friendly and connected UEH community.

Throughout the Workshop, with the dedicated guidance of highly qualified instructors, members not only learn about drawing techniques but are also guided to unleash their creativity in their paintings. People are allowed to relax, think about the subject more deeply and draw their work without any stereotypes. Each completed painting bears the artist's personal stamp.

Yen Vy, a UEH student shared: "After a stressful week of studying, we are very happy that the school also has such a colorful relaxing space. I will definitely invite more friends to join in the following sessions.”

The success of the workshop "Thematic Relaxing Acrylic Painting" is not only through the quality of the painting but also in the joy and relaxation it brings to participants. This will definitely be the motivation for the Workshop "Thematic Relaxing Acrylic Painting" to continuously bring meaningful art activities in the future at UEH in particular and in Ho Chi Minh City in general.
