Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this more art class:

In this class, we explore short guided meditations, art exercises, reflections, and discussions to establish authentic connections to our creative selves. Using simple materials, we approach art making as a process-based contemplative practice – building and experiencing an awareness of our natural curiosity and creativity. We will also explore how our minds and perceptions operate, how to move through creative blocks, and how to use creativity as a mode for stress reduction.

Open inquiry, playfulness, and discovery are at the heart of this approach. Guided experiences are emphasized over technical instruction and innate skill, as we seek the deep understanding that comes through doing.

No experience with art making or meditation is required.

Adventurers at all levels are welcome.

Stay curious.

Stay compassionate.

Find the treasures.


NEXT CLASS:

This week we will be using drawing, color, line, shape, and pattern to explore intentional aimlessness as we reflect on multi-layered levels of awareness.

Suggested materials:

  • Paper

  • Pencil

  • Something to add color with (colored pencils, crayons, markers, etc.)

  • Art as a Contemplative

    Reviewed by Sheri L. on 6/30/2020
    I really enjoyed the class, which coming from someone with zoom fatigue says a lot. I would only suggest a bit more of an overview in the beginning explaining how the class would possibly go. That was more for my comfort level as this was the first time I've done this type of class. Other wise, great way to spend a Sunday afternoon
