School Workshops (Visual Arts)
Employee Therapeutic Arts Workshops
School workshops are available in the Toronto area to introduce children to visual arts as a form of fun and creative expression, and as a lifelong therapeutic tool that can be used to help address, manage, and overcome many conditions, including anxiety, low self confidence, grief and loss, loneliness, fear, uncertainty, and stress. Through workshop participation, reflection, discussion, and understanding of their artwork, students of all ages gain insight into their feelings and discover art as a tool for creativity, coping, communication, increased happiness, improved self confidence, relaxation, fun, and joy.
