Introduction and Welcome

Setting Intentions

Welcome. I’m so glad you are here. We will start our arts’ medicine journey with a mixed media lesson to create a piece to set our intentions for our art practice.

I find expectations can get us in trouble in life and in art making. Instead, I like to set an intentions which focuses more on the process than the outcome. What are your intentions for creating art?

  • to learn

  • to relax

  • to play

  • to experience serenity

  • to connect with yourself

  • to share a message…
