What's included
1 live meeting
20 mins in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. Students will be encouraged to continue "creating" through various artist expression they prefer whether it is drawing, color, music, dance, song, etc. (thereby using and developing their right-brain skills). Students will learn by nurturing this side of themselves they can interact more freely with others because through their "art" they are expressing such as is used during "art therapy" sessions.Class Experience
Picture what a dark black stormy sky with rushing fast winds and rain would make you like feel especially if there was a wolf howling in the background while you were on your porch! Or how sunny yellow like a happy face on a sun while on the beach makes you feel instead. Can you picture how a soft blue is like dipping your toes in the warm waters of a pool or lake, or does green make you think of lazy-swaying treetops while laying on the grass while watching the soft white clouds go by? See how colors can change your mood? We'll explore this and more together in this class! Students will go through relaxation techniques then be led on a short guided meditation where through visualization techniques using colors of the rainbow during the meditation. This technique is designed to strengthen the right brain synapses where creativity takes place. A quiet place where your child can sit or lie and be undisturbed by noise is best which includes no radio, television, affectionate pets, phones, computers, iPad to distract. Parents are welcome to sit in to learn the techniques I'll share so children can be encouraged to use these techniques and parents can fill in the gaps of what a child might forget. This class will be offered on a regular basis. Feel free to request "best times" for your child.
Learning Goals
Students can learn they can "choose" to color the world around them. If they feel scared they can now choose happy colors. If they are nervous, they can choose soft, soothing, relaxing colors to wear, or as a blankie, robe, shirts and more; even help to choose colors of their bedroom!
