Creating Through Uncertainty

About the Event

Our studio focuses on the use of creative arts during times of uncertainty, namely, how individuals can harness the uplifting power of creation when dealing with life’s challenges. In this way, the creative arts may work in conjunction with the promotion of mental, emotional, and overall personal well being. The creative arts of choice for our three studios will include: playwriting, fine arts/visual arts, and auditory expression.

Our objective during this studio is to immerse ourselves in the world of artistic expression by learning about how artists use both artistic tools (i.e. pen, paper, colored pencils) and digital art platforms (such as Canva, Krita, or another digital art platform of choice) to give form to fears, hopes, and experiences. During our workshop, we will look at, contemplate, and discuss a few art pieces that relate to uncertainty. Following this, participants will engage in a meditative artistic activity of their own.
