Expressive Arts Self-Exploration Workshop
May 7, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm EDT
The Baton Foundation will host a virtual expressive arts workshop designed to help attendees explore their inner self. This program is free to the public, but registration is required.
About the Workshop
The expressive arts combine a variety of practices including writing, music, visual arts, drama, and dance to support self-expression, personal growth and healing. In each session, and as one participates, s/he explores working with a variety of materials and activities. And, as one completes a session, s/he reflects on what was expressed, discovered, and/or experienced. The expressive arts have been defined as supporting a process of self-discovery and self-expression–as a way to connect with one’s creative self. Expressive arts also can help one find a path to tranquility and/or achieve emotional release.
For this introductory virtual session, please wear comfortable clothes and bring plain white paper, chalk, crayons, colored pencils, play dough or paints—any material with which you would like to work. If preferred, each participant will be able to work with her/his camera turned off. Should you have any questions in advance of the workshop, please feel free to call Dr. Phillips at 404-798-1061.
