Increase your Creativity and Unlock your Hidden Talents
Welcome to Arts and Wellness Café. As the week comes to a close we look at the word Discernment and how it using it impacts not only on your life but your creative pursuits as well.
Come and join me for the Arts and Wellness Episode with the theme Joyous. Where does your joy come from and how does it flow into your creativity?
Thank you for joining me today in the Arts and Wellness Café, in todays video we revisit the topic stillness and have a chat, I will also be sharing some of the fabric experimenting that I have been doing, alongside a meditation.
Creating in Faith - Belief
Here is a short video in which I share with you painting on fabric. It is one of 3 short videos to get you inspired to creatively play with your supplies.
I think it is important to get a view of how things start their journey, usually at this stage as a piece of fabric that gets painted, then it is built upon.
Join me in the studio for Arts and Wellness Café where we look at more ways in which 'Hopeful' impacts on you health and well-being.
I also share with you two short process videos so that you can look at playing with backgrounds, just using Inktense pencils, collage paper in a journal, you can apply colour to the page and use it when you only have a short time to play.
I also catch up with some of the Life Book taster sessions, it is great to be able to see what the other teachers did for their sessions and here is one that I was able to do Inspired by Eulalia Mejia creating the backgrounds, using gesso and going in a mark making on figures, the one below is what we did in the classroom.
Come and join me in the most recent Arts and Wellness Cafe where you are encouraged to unleash your creativity. Start trying new things, revive some of those art supplies that are just sitting down doing nothing. If you are not familiar with the way they work then ask, take a course - you can even connect with me and I will show you how - you can take a look through my YouTube videos and you may find the answers there, above all, just don't give up.
Another thing that you need to be mindful of is 'self nurture' - it is alright not to have everything planned out all the time. Sometimes you need to take stock, take a break, really look at where it is that you are going creatively and in other areas of your life.
Looking after yourself using creative activities have an amazing effect, and you have to also look after your supplies and where your creative practice takes place.
I also mention Life Book Taster Sessions, I hope that you have signed up and making the most of the art activities and free gifts and who knows you may be one of the ones who win one of the 40 places that are being given away. My session is going live on Tuesday 6th October and I hope you can join me and let me know how you get on. You can sign up HERE if you haven't already.
