ART WORKSHOP ”THE ART TO LIVE”

What is the art workshop about?

It gives the opportunity to spontaneous creations. Sometimes the creation comes out after feeling inner urge to express oneself in a visual form. By using drawing, handmade pieces of art, sculptures etc. , the person can express his/hers vision of himself/herself, his/hers feeling of the world.

That kind of creative work gives the opportunity to uncover the revelations, which leads to seeing the life situation in a different light. The task and its resolution becomes clearer.

Is it necessary to be artistic or have other skills, to participate in the art workshop?

 

It does not matter whether you have drawing skills or are able to make models in clay or not. Each of us has inner art routs, which will come to life when the certain circumstances will appear.  (The group leader will take care of it).

What kind of exercise is carried out in the art workshop?

Trusting our intuition we let our hand to act spontaneously using inner urge, direction.

We allow our hand to pick desirable colours, materials, combinations.

And then, we recognize, what made us to make this unpredictable choice, and we try to interpret that for ourselves and others.

By revealing his/hers own creation the participant makes major step into life and in future he/she could use it as internal power.
