“Creating Calm” is a Mindful Art Workshop Series taught by Artist and Instructor, Jessica Snowden. Each is a stand-alone class yet can be taken as an ongoing practice to refocus your mind to find more peace using different art activities.
About this Workshop:
“Choose Your Word” is a workshop suitable for ages 14+, revolving around the practice of integrating a specific word into a focused art piece. Using a journal prompt question, the student will choose a word that best describes where they want to focus. Integrating the word into the piece of art using different writing and coloring materials, they will develop the word into something that can be displayed and looked at as a reminder of what they are working on.
About the Instructor
Jessica Snowden has been an active producing artist since 2006 but creating all sorts of items and projects from a very young age. She became interested in the healing nature of the creative process while going through a series of challenging life events that left her unable to completely communicate what I was dealing with. Though she loves the process of journaling, there are some thoughts she did not want written down and realized she could still process her ideas without them being available for others to read.
She has taught art classes to all age groups from preschool up to adult ages for over 20 years in various types of mediums, materials, themes, and class sizes.
