Details on Senior Class:​

(For context, the classes are self expressive art classes, not fine art focused, so they won't necessarily have a stunning outcome, but folks will likely feel positively stimulated.)

 

One Class Example: 

The class will be geared towards activating as many senses as possible: sight, touch, smell, sound, activating memory by encouraging story-telling & playing topic related sounds (bird chirping, etc.) that they will be encouraged to identify.

 

Class would include the option of coloring the outlines of various types of birds (or drawing the birds themselves using a picture reference). Then they can cut out and paste the pictures onto colored paper.

​This usually takes about an hour.

​

Another option is to post everyone's work onto a large shared collage, using poster board, that could be hung on a wall.

Adding the collage element can be stretched into 1.5 hours if you prefer.
