The purpose of this course is to create mindfulness art. Students do not need to have any artistic background.  Students will be creating art that will help them express gratitude, create positive thoughts, and plan for the near future.  

The lessons will be taught through the class discussion form, videos, and external links to other helpful resources.  Each week students will be able to share their work and thoughts with others. 

We will meet on three days a week for 50 Minute sessions. During this time, students will be provided with instruction, guidance, and inspiration while they learn about and make the activity assigned for the day. Students will use the other days of the week to finish up their projects, watch external videos, and engage in external discussion.

This class is perfect for students who want to step away from negative thoughts and spend time throughout the next week engaging in crafts that can promote positivity.
