STUCK NOT BROKEN 

Need just a little encouragement to work though something in-particular?

 This is by far the most popular session run by Kerry. It's a time to check in with yourself through art. It's about you through the process of art. No skills or pressure to produce 'art'. 

Use art with various themes to,

• Know how to use creativity for self discovery, gratitude & goal setting
• Recognise your strength & capabilities
• Discover mindful drawing & nature mandalas to create your calm.
• Understand your emotions through art
• Use art strategies to work through 'stuff' -  general anxiety, loss, negative thinking ...

Happy to do some art with you to work through something specific or teach you about the benefits of a creative practice for your wellbeing. 

Cost $60 for a 1hr session

or, three individual sessions  $180 total.

All materials included.

Flexible hours for individual sessions made available. Happy to take a  10 minute call to see

if this is right for you.

Use water as inspiration. 

This theme is about connecting your mind and hand to experience the process of flow. We will also refer to phosphorescence: what makes you glow from within. Explore the dark and light of both surface and underwater worlds as both literal and metaphorical approaches to the theme.

so no prior art skills required.

Never fear the blank page again. 

Here I will give you a string of ideas to learn  explorative and expressive drawing techniques to be more emotive, intuitive and all together mindful artist.

 You will use paper collage,  gel printmaking and drawing materials to create tens of drawings to move out of the fear state and into curiosity to create.

Begin with Neurographic drawing addressing the subconscious then busy the hands with drawing.

No drawing skills necessary - this is process art only.

Make a winning hand and gain insights into aspects of the self through art and collage.

 Easy to make mini artworks, so make as many as you feel.

Do you know any history of the card deck?  

 Played for pleasure or competition (or both), cards are individually identifiable from one side only, so that each player knows only the cards he holds, and hides from others. Use this as inspiration to create personal narratives,  and visual responses to your personal strengths & capabilities.

Unpack what you already do well through creativity.

Less homework and more play and creation - it's what the research's says teens need anyway! 

Your teen will work through various arts media to experience art processes whilst reflecting on their world.
