Art Therapy
How do you communicate?
Art teaches communication by providing another way of portraying feelings, ideas, and arguments to an audience besides words. Self expression can happen through creative means like drawing, painting, music and many more!
During the life class I was able to express myself through various means of art including paper mache, lippan art, fabric painting, pottery, not only this but also cooking and baking.
I enjoyed the creative process that helped me explore self-expression and, in doing so, find new ways to gain personal insight.
Art is truly therapeutic!
Wisdom in simplicity
Reflecting on my art classes has been a transformative journey. Exploring various forms like Lipan art, Van Gogh’s tissue art, pottery, painting, wall paintings, and fabric painting has not only honed my skills but also deepened my appreciation for diverse artistic expressions. The intricate techniques learned, especially from the works of Lipan and Van Gogh, have left an indelible mark on my creative process. Engaging in pottery allowed me to sculpt my ideas into tangible forms, while wall paintings and fabric art broadened my understanding of space and texture.
Each activity became a brushstroke in the canvas of my artistic growth. The classes provided a sanctuary for self-discovery, akin to a meditative experience. Through this artistic exploration, I found my voice, my style evolving with every stroke and shape. The supportive environment and the guidance received have been instrumental in fostering my confidence as an artist.
In essence, these art classes have been more than just skill-building exercises; they have been a journey of self-expression, unlocking the boundless potential within me. I look forward to continuing this artistic odyssey, armed with newfound techniques and a deeper connection to the world of art.
The Canvas of Self-Exploration- A journey through art and skill!
This year, I embarked on an exciting journey of self-discovery through an art and skill workshop as part of my life classes. Filled with eagerness to explore my creativity, I looked forward to the upcoming days with anticipation. As the workshop unfolded, time seemed to slip away, leaving me amazed at how quickly it passed. Through moments of introspection, I discovered a newfound appreciation for my patience and ability to enjoy moments of solitude, especially when immersed in the vibrant world of colors. Each session brought forth opportunities to delve into various forms of artistic expression, allowing me to broaden my horizons and push the limits of my creativity.
Reflecting on this experience, I feel compelled to encourage others to embark on their own artistic journey. We all possess the potential to create beauty in our own unique way, and through art, we can tap into that innate ability. The workshop wasn’t just about refining artistic skills; it was also about embracing the artist within each of us. It served as a reminder that art is not only about the final product but also about the process of self-discovery and expression.
As I look back on the workshop, I am grateful for the lessons learned and the memories created. It was a time of growth, exploration, and inspiration. Moving forward, I carry with me a newfound sense of confidence in my creative abilities and a deeper understanding of the importance of embracing creativity in all aspects of life.

Among them, lippan art stood out as my favorite, particularly because it was my first time attempting it and demanded a great deal of patience but the result was incredibly rewarding. Exploring pottery was an exciting addition to my creative journey! It had been a fascinating new experience getting my hands into the clay and shaping it up. Finishing off with culinary arts is a delightful way to round out our exploration of creativity! Thank you!!

Art:Therapeutic and Self expression.
In the art and skills class, I learned many new art forms, some of which I already knew and others I tried for the first time. For years, I hesitated to draw human forms, thinking I wasn’t good at it. However, when I tried a few folk art forms such as Gond art, Madhubani art, and Phad art, I realized that I am good at it. All the art forms I tried were therapeutic, calming, and healing. I am passionate about art, and it brings me immense happiness while doing it. When engaged in any art form, I become completely engrossed and lose track of time.
A journey of exploring creativity
Engaging in the art and skills life class provided me with a diverse and enriching experience. Exploring various forms of artistic expression, from lippan and tissue art to canvas and wall painting, allowed me to tap into my creativity in unique ways. The fusion of traditional techniques like anemone art with modern elements like plastic canvas bags showcased the versatility of artistic endeavors. Additionally, the inclusion of cooking as a skill added a practical dimension to the course. Overall, the class broadened my perspective on creativity.
Exploring Creativity: A Journey Through Art and Craft
Reflecting on my learning experience in art and craft, I find myself profoundly enriched by the diverse range of activities I’ve engaged in. Pottery provided a tactile experience, allowing me to mold and shape clay into unique forms, teaching me patience and precision. Lipan art introduced me to the intricate world of indigenous designs, fostering an appreciation for cultural diversity and storytelling through art. Tissue art challenged me to think creatively, transforming simple materials into vibrant and dynamic compositions, igniting my imagination.
Wall painting allowed me to explore the intersection of art and space, teaching me how to utilize color, shape, and perspective to evoke emotions and create atmospheres. Making bags provided me with practical skills in sewing and design, while also encouraging sustainability and resourcefulness through upcycling materials. Finally, cooking became a sensory journey, blending flavors and textures to create culinary delights, teaching me the importance of experimentation and attention to detail.
Overall, my journey in art and craft has been a holistic one, not only honing my technical skills but also nurturing my creativity, cultural awareness, and practical abilities.
