Go With The FLOW - Expressive Arts Class
Open Studio Process - Art Classes
The "Expressive Arts" classroom at The Open Studio was official christened with artistic painting and drawing activities during the week
 of November 21st, 2016! The "activity" room where the ART action happens is open and bright, contributing to the essence of creativity. This newly obtained classroom/art studio is witnessing artist's happily indulging in the creative process. The artist's, under the guidance of
Dee Calzavara, Expressive Arts Practitioner, apply colors of expression to papers taped to the walls. The wall "easels" allow for larger, freer movements in the ART making process. This keeps the artist's energy flowing, making for a fresher, more alive ART creation. Plus it's FUN! During Dee's "Go with the FLOW" classes, involving numerous art expressions, laughter often spills out the windows..... making passer-by's smile and wonder, "What's going on in there?" Her classes are an enjoyable way to be inspired, to encounter your own creativity, and to explore many different art modalities.
It's not all giggles and grins in that new building. There is some serious ART happening too. Like when the artists are absorbed in the Open Studio Process, following their pleasure as they create. Their quest is to give the creative force it's stage on which to emerge. In silence, the artists witness the images they created and endeavour to obtain the creations wisdom. They do this through stream of consciousness writing. Open Studio Process is an insightful practice.
SO.....we invite you come on down and join a class with Dee on Mondays or Fridays and be inspired by this new piece/peace of The Open Studio. (check the "Ongoing" section of this newsletter for Dee's weekly classes and contact her to find out what ART form will be happening that week,
