how clients FEEL during the PROCESS of art and the healing that it brings. Our biggest success is when the room gets quiet, and we see the stress erase from their faces and their smiles when they see the beauty they've created! The art is the bonus! We also realize the variety of skill levels and mental capacities that our clients bring into each session, and consistently stress our beliefs: • There is no right or wrong way to create art • Everyone is born with the gift of creativity • We learn about ourselves and life through the process of art • Art can make us feel GOOD! It's FUN! Our Proposed Program for The Link: We would like to provide some of our favorite art sessions as a 6-month program, focused around 3 themes that are each 2 months in length: Theme 1• Mindfulness Drawing (creating a moment of peace and intention) Collaborative ARTwork: INNER PIECE Intro Session: Intro to Mindfulness Drawing (Ink patterns on small pieces of paper using the Zentangle Method and various abstract patterns) Advanced Projects: Individual Projects (drawing, advanced designs, lettering and quotes) Theme 2: Urban Art with Acrylics (celebrating the art inside us all) Collaborative ARTwork: The Art Inside Me (Hand -painted Handprints collaged onto one large canvas) Intro Session: Abstract Painting with Acrylics Advanced Projects: Individual Projects: canvas wall hangings & paintings Theme 3: Fiber Arts (telling our stories in texture color, movement and sound) Collaborative ARTwork: Sharing Our Stories Under the Community Tree (A collaborative exhibit of yarn -wrapped sticks hung from a community tree, along with other story telling visual and performance -based art) Intro Session: Fiber -wrapped sticks (telling our story with color and texture) Advanced Projects: Storytelling, creative writing, poetry, movement, drumming, weaving, clay Deliverables: Focused on Retention and Confidence -Building: • Workshops appropriate for all ages, offered separately to families/children. • Intro workshops leading to a piece of art that can be combined into a larger, collaborative piece of artwork that can be displayed (in addition to creating more advanced pieces of art in subsequent workshops). • Intro workshops repeated each week for all to attend, no matter when they come into the program. (Although repeated, these workshops will be fun enough to take again and again, creating more and more pieces for the collaborative exhibit.) • Advanced workshops, offered to those who attend the Intro, which will help to keep clients coming back to create more intricate pieces of artwork, as well as creating a sense of accomplishment. • Six (6) presentations of artworks created by the residents during the workshops, delivered at the end of each month in a format of an exhibition, performance, online publication or combination of formats.
