Arts and Crafts for Mental Wellbeing - Children Age 7-12

In this ongoing Art & Wellbeing For Kids course, students will engage in exercises in drawing, painting, collage, and more. These art projects will develop their artistic abilities, while helping them develop tools to maintain mental wellbeing. Your student will create art that they're proud of, and along the way learn tools to express their emotions, reflect on their feelings, and build their confidence. All abilities and skills are welcome! This class should leave your student feeling accomplished and relaxed each week.

The art projects I lead are specifically designed to develop self esteem, self reflection, a diverse emotions vocabulary, and resilience. My teaching methodology is a unique blend of teaching technical art skills with a focus on reflective processes. The creative process helps children express themselves in a non-verbal medium that reflects their emotional state. Engagement with the arts has also been proven to increase confidence and self esteem. I cultivate a safe and supportive learning environment in which students feel comfortable asking questions and sharing with the group.

In each live class meeting, I will go step-by-step through the art project. Students will have the chance to ask me questions if needed and also have the chance to share their artwork with the class once it is complete. Students are encouraged to work within a dedicated sketchbook to create a portfolio of artwork.

Students can join this on-going class at any time and will begin working in their sketchbook during their first class with me. Students will have the opportunity to interact with me during class for support as needed, as well as talk and share with other students.

Extra information

About Me

Hi,

I teach art and wellbeing, and I am currently training to be a licensed art therapist. I also have a degree in illustration and a background in mental health services. I teach art classes for children that focus on using the creative process as a tool for emotional wellbeing. I have experience working in elementary schools with children, specializing in supporting students with autism, ADHD, and other learning disabilities. As well as leading art workshops for children, I have also lead art workshops for adults with disabilities. I believe art is a powerful communication device and therapeutic tool, for people of all ages and abilities. I recently completed an 8 hour training on Art Based Telehealth, focused on using art as a tool for wellbeing with clients based virtually over Zoom.
A little more on me... I'm from California but I currently live in London, where I study! I love to travel and explore the world. London is a wonderful place to do that, so I count my lucky stars. I have a big family, so I do spend a lot of time on Zoom and FaceTime! In my free time I love going to art museums, reading, and being outdoors as much as possible. I'm also a vegan and BIG animal lover.

The most important thing you can learn about me though is that I love to learn and love to teach! I hope to see you in class!

Autodesk 3DSMax, logiciel de création tridimensionnelle
3DSMax est l'outil le plus employé dans l''industrie du jeu et de la réalité virtuelle. Il sert à concevoir des images fixes ou animées en mettant en scène des objets 3D dans des univers tridimensionnels. Ceux-ci peuvent aussi être exportés pour des logiciels de réalité virtuelle comme Unity ou Unreal. De fait, tout peut être réalisé graphiquement avec un tel logiciel : Du simple objet manufacturé, en passant par le design, l'architecture, l'urbanisme, jusqu'à la création de personnages de dessin animés ou hyper-réalistes immergés dans des mondes imaginaires ou existants, du compositing vidéo jusqu'à la réalité mixte. C'est donc un outil complet qui comblera l'artiste comme l'amateur de technologie. Aussi de manière évolutive, vous apprendrez à maitriser son interface et produire de manière progressive des objets et des scènes 3D de plus en plus complexes et de plus en plus réalistes.

We will work on the human figure, and the head, the expression in portrait drawing, drawing basic shapes and their relationship with texture and volume.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen. I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist. I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns. In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on. You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns. Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

IT's time to learn some Art through Drawing and Painting
Though lots of artists would like to believe their work defies categorisation, in reality we tend to discuss art based on the medium used. Well-known categories of artwork include drawing, painting, sculpture and photography, but today all kinds of novel forms can be found both inside and outside of galleries. Drawing and painting are the oldest of the visual arts, so they have lots of specific vocabulary of their own. The art world is a strange place, but the surest way to fit in – apart from wearing all-black outfits and rings as big as your hands – is to practice speaking like the arty types hanging around galleries. You are the tomorrow’s opening! Come let's learn the new form of art in a new way.
