Adult coloring books

This is a past time of mine. I do not have any name for it.

I use adult coloring books as a de-stressor. I color the pages and find some relevant detail about the subject I have colored. I then try to do a photo-text (a challenging job, though I have not been really successful).

This I consider is a beautiful and mindful practice—where I combine art, stress relief, and learning into one activity.

My process is:

  1. Color a page from my adult coloring book.
  2. Research some meaningful or relevant detail about the subject I have just colored.

This is not just for fun. I have attempted to convey a subtle message. Social media can be used as an effective platform for learning. Knowing and knowledge is really fun when it is shared.

I treat this as a personal project with a deeper philosophy. I intend to show, through my posts, that social media can be a space for meaningful learning, not just scrolling. I strongly believe that knowledge can be joyful when paired with creativity, beauty, and sharing.

For people who view my post, this is micro learning experience. Each little post is a knowledge card. Knowledge card = mindfulness + art + knowledge + social good.
