​

This  4 week online course aims to provide the opportunity to explore art as a way of creating calm, inner peace and focus, through various, relaxing art practices.

​

Art can be a form of meditation; focusing on one point for an extended period of time, which can help to quieten the mind and calm the nervous system.

​

This is all about self awareness, experimenting with your creativity and finding an alternative way to practice meditation. 

There will be no expectation to create a final piece of art work as this is more about the journey and process, rather than the outcome. 

 

This Course will Include:

Breathing Techniques

Art Exploration, Drawing and Painting Exercises

(There will be a small amount of movement to warm up and shake off any self doubt,

which can be done seated or standing.)

​

You will need:

Art Materials of your choice;

Paints and suitable paper (eg Watercolour paper for watercolour paints)

Cartridge Paper (suitable for a variety of mediums)

Pencils

Pastels / Crayons / Felt tips

Brushes & Water pots (if you're using paints)

​

A quiet space, at a desk or table.

​

You may be asked to bring certain materials to explore colour, texture and shape but these

will be everyday household objects and don't have to be exact.
