This course is for everyone! No
drawing/painting skills required.
The method is to concentrate on

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.
