Art and drawing are known to be great methods to help reduce stress.
Adults don’t often allow themselves the time to practice art or drawing to relieve anxiety and stress, but it can do wonders for many people.
On this course, you’ll use a variety of materials and techniques to create art and help you to relax in a friendly and supportive setting. You’ll learn how (and where) to make room for art in your everyday life, and how this can have an positive effect on your general health and wellbeing, helping you to focus, feel calm and take more notice of the world around you.
So whether you already enjoy creating art or have run out of new ideas, or you want to be creative but don’t know how to start, this course will help you to create something that’s just for you and your personal wellbeing.
What will I learn?
We will look at drip, dot and water colour painting; you will also experiment with pastels, water colour crayons and acrylic paints. You will practice ‘being in the moment’.
