Each session is different but typically incorporates: - a creative activity which may include one or more of painting, drawing, clay, textiles, drawing and more - an emotional well-being under tone, is incorporated into each class, helping to build resilience and self-esteem. Some past activities have included: colour mixing with paints (learning about primary colours and how to mix them to make a range of colours), graffiti style affirmations using our new colour mixing skills, design (drawing) masks and then creating wearable masks with a range of materials, mixed media collaborative drawing with the whole class. Kids learn a range of arts and crafts skills and vary from class to class. We have explored air-dry clay, painting, drawing, pasting and more. Teaching children to use the creative arts to give "voice" to thoughts they cannot verbally express, in a fun and safe environment. Each session will start with a warm up, include activities which promote the processing of self-esteem, trauma, stress or anxiety and include opportunities to reflect. Children will be encouraged to: use problem solving, imagination and self-expression to build self-awareness; communicate thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgmental environment. ​Materials and equipment is provided. It is recommended to wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little messy. It is important to stay hydrated so please bring your own water bottle. Kids like to have something to eat before we start so please back an extra snack in their lunch box for after school.
