Restorative Art Classes

All Skill Levels - ages 12+

A two-hour restorative art class focused on stress reduction, self-awareness, emotional intelligence skill building, and reducing self-limiting beliefs, perfectionism, and releasing fear-based control. The class begins with a centering and soothing meditation or deep breathing exercise, followed by the start of a blind painting. While blindfolded, you will use your senses to create a painting based on the emotions that you feel while listening to a series of musical pieces. After the music ends, your canvas will be traded for a fresh one and your blindfold will be removed. With a fresh canvas, the same music will begin for you to create a painting based on your emotional response to the music. Finally, your initial painting will be revealed to you to admire and compare.

A two-hour exploratory class in mixed media focused on stress reduction, collaboration/team building, communication skills development, increasing problem solving skills and releasing domineering behaviors. The class will begin with minimal instruction to begin and will be provided with time to start gathering items for the canvas. Once everyone in the class is ready with initial materials, the time will begin, and each person will have an allotted amount of time to add materials to the canvas. When the time is up, each person will rotate to the next canvas and begin to add materials to it. Each person will rotate through all of the canvases in the group and end back at their canvas to add finishing touches. *Time for the course and time spent on each canvas is dependent on the class size.
