Self-Exploration Through Creative Play: Sculpture and Self-Regulation (NEW!) with Robyn Varpins
Get to know yourself a little better in this new one day workshop designed and led by Robyn Varpins. This art therapy workshop is designed to help you create four sculptural artworks that explore the central theme of the session, The Regulatory Systems of Your Brain, while you have a lot of fun and relax exploring the technique of collage.
In this hands-on making workshop you will create a series of sculptural artworks using a wide variety of mixed media. Browse through a range of paper and materials provided (or bring your own!). You will have fun cutting, tearing, and gluing images, colourful papers, and other exciting materials, creating truly unique masterpieces!
At the beginning of the session we will discuss the central theme for the workshop, which will help guide your creativity. The theme explored in this workshop will be 'The Regulatory Systems of Your Brain'. Topics explored will include the threat, drive, and soothing systems, as well as strategies to regulate yourself.
Perfect for beginners through to advanced students. No experience necessary, you will develop skills in a relaxed, non-judgmental environment. Any advanced students will be encouraged to explore composition, texture, and colour in new ways!
