The fruit paintings.
Experience from previous workshops had shown that many participants found it difficult to recall information which was abstract in nature. The facilitators decided to introduce something which was familiar to the participants and used fruit. Some of the fruit was familiar to all and some was not widely know like a mango or a Chinese pear. The atmosphere in the workshop was relaxed, calm and productive. For participants this was an opportunity to express themselves through creating paintings bringing with it a calmer state of mind which resonated through the group.
