Therapeutic and Expressive Art sessions offered to children ages 5 to 12.
One to one sessions are built around the child's interests and comfort level with materials. Children are given the time and space to settle into the environment and explore a few invitations in the room such as sand or light tables and water painting. A balancing or calming experiential art activity such as bilateral drawing (using both hands and sides of the brain) or exploring ooblek (cornstarch and water) is explored before moving onto the main art activity. This is then presented being open ended and with lots of creative freedom for the child to explore as they are drawn to. It is about the process of playing with art and not art instruction. Exploring and playing with art offers our system a break away. It also stimulates different areas of the brain, relieves stress and improves confidence and self esteem.
One to one session rates are $50 per hour
Available mornings and afternoons.
