Event Overview

Enrich and deepen your pre-teen and teen's individual, personal, and artistic voice by allowing them to participate alongside a community of artists who want to venture beyond where their school’s art classes go. 

This time period for this age group can be tough. It can be hard to still want to play but also start to take more accountability and explore identity and individuation from their families. This is an intentionally created space for your pre-teen to make art and be themselves. 

It is important to disclose that this an Art as Healing studio and not a therapeutic group. It is however held and supported by Art Therapists and the studio will involve a variety of materials (painting, fiber arts, collage, 3-D Junk Art and more) Guided by artists and art therapists, they will learn to think creatively about what inspires them while following their passion. They will learn to consider the influence different media and music have on their creative process. Drawing on these and other sources, they will learn how to communicate and express their ideas visually in community. Each week we will be supporting them in techniques or mediums to expand and explore their creativity.

Art as Healing Therapeutic Benefits and Skills:
Mindfulness, development of coping strategies, building self-esteem, using voice with confidence, create appropriate boundaries, build relationships and connections beyond school, developing eye-hand coordination, nervous system regulation, color coordination, sequencing, temporal-spatial, attention to detail, measuring, basic sewing, and artistic skills.
