“Mindfulness Art, within everyone's reach” Workshop

As an exploration proposal, this workshop is aligned with the idea of mindfulness art, through the exploration of concepts such as experimental art, spontaneous art or intuitive art.  The foundation of this expression is the search for well-being and pleasure through the experience of very simple artistic techniques, in a relaxed atmosphere of full trust and shared experience, which aims to develop self-esteem and the personal search for new areas of knowledge and self-discovery.

The aim is to reach out to non-artists whose relationship with artistic expression has long been put on hold and reconnect them with the creativity and imagination they thought were lost, always with fun, uncomplicated and intuitive dynamics.

In fact, you don't need to have any artistic skills, but you do need to be open to the experience.

Get to know the panorama of contemporary art, in a brief introduction.

Explore plastic expression materials such as paper, cardboard and other supports, traditional working media such as brushes, paintbrushes and acrylic paints, combined with other less conventional materials that are not in line with artistic practice, such as brushes and other materials associated with activities such as cleaning, for example.

Exploring techniques associated with pure, spontaneous abstract art (without any meaning or formal object) which are based on artists such as Jackson Pollock with his dripping (a technique which consists of projecting paint randomly onto a surface, developing spontaneous, unexpected and purely abstract shapes) or Mark Rothko, with his chromatic, expressionist and contrasting stains.

Carry out guided exercises that enable a discovery that can lead to personal exploration and reconnection with creativity and imagination.

All materials are included.
