Guided prompts and hands-on experimentation will encourage participants to follow their curiosity, reflect, and develop their own creative process. Designed for both experienced artists and those who may not have made art in years, this class is grounded in the belief that creativity is something everyone is born with. Through regular journaling and creative exploration, participants will discover personal ways to use art as a reflective practice, deepen their relationship with themselves, and cultivate a sense of calm, presence, and renewal.
