Classes

Join one of my art therapy classes at Evergreen State College:

 NO ART MAKING EXPERIENCE OR "TALENT" NECESSARY!!! 

Spring Quarter:

"Discover the Artist Within"  Mondays April 27th - May 18th

The course will consist of four, two-hour sessions with the intent to silence the "art critic" residing in your head, thereby freeing you to explore individual self-expression through art medium. The focus of this course will be on freedom of self-expression, not technique.  It is my belief that artistic expression lies in all of us and requires only a sense of trust and the freedom to allow the flowing for magic to happen.  The magic is the process by which a person explores their world using art medium to foster self-awareness.  Each session will have a unique experiential but they will weave together the tapestry of your life.  Various art materials will be provided. Bring to class a sense of fun and adventure.

"Create Mandalas for Personal Expression & Awareness"  Tuesdays, April 28th - May 19th

Carl Jung, Psychologist, introduced mandalas to the Wester World, and concluded from his experience creating mandalas that the Self, the wholeness of the personality, is reflected in the mandala, or circular drawing.  Jung felt that the mlandala that a person spontaneously drew in any given moment was a gentle reminder, or urge to live out that person's potential, something he called the person's total personality.  Jung felt that attention to the symbols the unconscious gave in response to queries for deeper meaning could enhance and speed personal growth and understanding.  Come prepared to express your Self by creating mandalas guilded by a Registered Art Therapist.   The course will consist of four, two-hour sessions to explore individual self-expression through art medium as you create mandalas. The focus is freedom of artistic self-expression and not technique.  The instructor will provide art materials and the environment to assist students to unleash creativity.  Time will be given to share the art and the process by which it was created providing opportunity for reflection.
