Let's Play!

Our home school group got an excellent lesson this past Friday on Art Journaling with Laurie Ritchie. Laurie is an expressive artist that has been creating all her life/ she has a degree in occupational therapy and is certified in Expressive Arts Facilitation. She is the owner of Whole Arts Connections (wholeartconnections.com)

Laurie's classes and instruction help participants step into the vibrancy of their lives, reawakening their own creativity, and establishing a deeper connection to the self. True to her own story, she believes we're all innate artists in our own way and don't need fixing!

The kids were engaged the whole time- and I could not believe how focused they were about the whole process- from a brief breathing technique to jumping into the journalinig process- the kids all really tuned into to Laurie's energy and instruction! 

The Concept for this lesson was "The Journey" the kids took time to interpret this idea and how they could bring it life in their journals!
