A new beginning is when you let the fear and the negative thoughts and stories go, don't let anything hold you back, create space to allow the positive thought of creativity to flow and connect back with your true self. Within everyone is an Artist trying to escape. My goal is to encourage others to use art as a means of expressionism and freedom.
Art is a form of therapy where artistic expression has the power to help us in healing, in self-esteem or simply in chilling out. It is unique in that most other forms of therapy rely on language as the foremost mode of communication, whereas art requires something different, something harder to define.
Colour has the ability to affect our moods. Sometimes, however, instead of using colour to transform our current state of mind, it is helpful to take a moment to delve deep into the colour you are currently experiencing. Working within your current emotional state can help you make sense of why you are feeling the way you are feeling and realise that, perhaps, it is not such a bad place to be. Even on a dull day there is colour in your life, you just need to look for it.
We are not art therapists just two people who have experience of lives struggles, debt, stress and survivors of emotional abuse. For those hungry for a creative outlet to relieve the tension that is building inside you we can help. Expressive art requires few materials and no artistic background -- in fact, the less about art you know the better, this allows you to be free with your mind and let your emotions go. The course is less about the final product, and more about the transformation that occurs along the way.
Our workshops are about showing you the basic of colour mixing, shading, and blending so you can open your mind and be free. You will be provided with canvas, brushes, paints, and the freedom to create. We will also use other forms of art to open your mind, such has music, mediation and nature. (These are weather dependant) Once your mind is open we can work on helping you to let go and move forward with a positive life.
