Are you interested in art for well-being, for processing emotions, developing a sense of calm or for helping students transition to new activities and spaces? I will share some short “brain break” type activities, therapeutic exercises, and well-being strategies that you can use for the most part with minimal time and basic resources. These will include viewing and interacting with art and imagery, strategies for focusing on particular areas of social-emotional development through art-making, as well as thinking strategies, drawing and painting exercises, tactile experiences and clay manipulations. No art experience or skills are necessary, this presentation will be process-focused and well-being-centred, to offer you something you can take back to share with your students and colleagues… and also for your own well-being.
