Therapeutic Art allows those on a weight loss journey to gain insight about themselves, their body, eating habits and their mindset around food.
Through seemingly simple mediums like paint or pencils, people can enhance emotional intelligence by using colours, shapes, and textures to give life to their inner narratives about their bodies and minds.
Express Yourself Continues!
After we exploded into action with Expressive Art earlier this term with landscapes, figures, and portraits, we are now continuing with abstract compositions, narratives and still life – learning new techniques, different materials and focusing on a wide variety of artists who make art full of expression, emotion, and atmosphere. At the end of this term you will plan and develop your own expressive artwork in the medium of your choice.
All workshops are suitable for any new and emerging artists who wish to push their techniques and imagery further and also for those who have more creative experience.
It’s never too late to become an artist!
Whether you’re eight years old or eighty, it’s never too late to start making art. Why not start now?
Give in to your passion, find inspiration and dive in. In Foundry Artists workshops, I will lead you through a wide range of methods and mediums to find your own creative voice.
