In order to gain experience for my CAS activity, I offered to operate a face painting (and hand painting, as well) for the Swappers Stop event on August 2, 2022.

For this, I stepped outside of my comfort zone. Additionally, I had to be patient with the visitors. It takes patience to complete this face painting because mistakes can happen and you may need to start over. L1

In particular, I have never run a stall at a event of any type. I have never done anything like this. I had to overcome difficulties on my own because I had no prior expertise. I also improved my social, communication, and self-management abilities. It is beneficial for my future and for my academic success. L2

I didn’t get many details; all I knew was that we had to face-paint using “earthy” colors. Additionally, the artworks had to promote conservation of nature. We developed the concepts on our own. Choosing a color scheme and the types of designs we could or should do comes first. Afterward, purchase those colors and get brushes and tumblers. determining the cost depending on the customer’s pricing range and the cost of the resources. Then we created a poster that we could display for the public to view. then practicing the painting a few times prior to the occasion. L3

We had to be patient with each person that came to our stall because there was a large crowd there. A few times it became hectic, but we still managed to handle them , and achieved breaking even. L4

This being a group event, we worked as a team. Since the team consisted of our BM classmates, the engagement was smooth and we ended up developing several skills. L5

The theme of this event was “sustainable,” and the face painting artworks reflected that concern. Therefore, we ended up broadly propagating the concept. L6
