Collage Your Feelings: Staying Strong Amidst Chaos and Doubt
Collage Your Feelings is a series of classes where you can cut and paste pictures together to create a picture that is a visual tool for self-expression. Creating your picture can help you build self-awareness and engage in self-reflection, discover coping mechanisms, and problem-solve. Engaging in these classes may help with improving your mood, feeling physically better, and building your self-confidence. Enjoy meeting new people, relax and unwind, and leave with renewed energy. Most of all, have fun! Age 14+.
Each class will begin with a brief meditation and then give directives to get started. There is no right or wrong way to collage and you may feel free to take liberties with your work and create what feels right in the moment. Take home your art as a visual reminder of what you learned. All materials are provided and you may bring any images that feel relevant in case you would like to include them in your picture.
