Expressive Arts
This course is for everybody! No
drawing/painting skills required.
The method is to concentrate on the
present moment, on the process,
listen to yourself, to your body, relax
and enjoy! No rules in the Expressive
Arts. The process of creation
is emphasized rather than the
final product. Nevertheless, we create
finished pictures along with
many various exercises using different
medium and surfaces.
