Location: UFM Back to Top Protecting The Creative Spirit of Our Children CF-60
How do we protect the creative spirit of our children? What tools can we give them so they become protectors of their talent and creativity? First, we will reawaken our own creativity and imagination. Using improvisation and movement we will explore story and myth; we will continue our exploration in paint. It's fun! Second, we will learn to recognize that shapeshifter, Creativity and what it needs to live; we will learn to recognize talent in our children and how to develop it in an organic way; we will understand the role of failure and respect in the creative process; and we will learn how to radiate belief in support of our children's ability to create. This class is appropriate for parents, grandparents, day care providers, teachers, students, (age 16 and older), nurses and counselors and anyone involved in the care of children. Handouts and all art supplies will be provided by the instructor; wear loose comfortable clothing that allows for free movement and possible paint drips. (At the beginning of class, we will determine the length of the lunch break.)
