Art for Mindfullness and Balance Summer Camp

During each meeting learners will create a unique art piece that inspires emotional well-being and a positive mindset.   We will discuss what mindfulness means and then learners will have mindful art time. This class is a space for being mindfully creative and therefore feeling a positive emotion in response to the creativity.  Scientific evidence has shown that participating in art lowers stress and helps us increase feel-good emotions as referenced in sources.

Please note:
We will not be talking about emotions during this class. The purpose of this class is to have mindful creative time.

Each class will look like this:
- 3 minutes of introductions
- 3 minutes of art activity and mindfulness explanation
- 20 minutes of creating their art piece
- 5 minutes, in the end, to share their creations if they choose.  
Each meeting they will need art paper, pencils, and/or markers.
The art activity for each day will be prompted, but they will make it in their own individual style.
