Welcome to a world where our quirks and worries transform into something wild, wonderful, and a little bit goofy! This workshop is a fun and creative space for kids to explore their inner feelings and discover just how awesome their unique qualities are. We believe that when we can laugh at our "flaws," we take away their power and find our own strength.
What We'll Do
In this hands-on workshop, each child will become a "Goofy Monster-Maker." Using a variety of paints, fabrics and other materials, they'll create a friendly monster portrait. The twist? They'll turn their least favourite attributes or a small insecurity into a fun, goofy monster feature!
What They'll Gain
More than just a cool piece of art to take home, children will leave this workshop feeling:
- Empowered: They will learn to turn a negative feeling into a positive and funny creative idea.
- Confident: By laughing at their "monster," they'll build self-acceptance and a stronger sense of self-worth.
- Creative: They'll express themselves freely and discover new ways to use art as a tool for self-discovery.
- Connected: They'll share stories and laughter with other kids who are doing the same thing, building a sense of community.
- Mindfulness: art is a way to stay present and enjoy oneself away from devices
- Motor skills reinforcement: as data shows, due to the amount of time spent on devices, we are losing manual abilities like handwriting or drawing. When we write a thought it is reinforced in our brain, the same way happens with art, the more we do it, the more the brain registers these movements and abilities.
Who It's For
This workshop is designed for children ages 6 to 11 who are ready to get creative, be a little silly, and discover their inner monster!
