The value of art in expressing feelings is well recognised. Art helps us to contemplate and understand our internal realities. It also helps to build a connection to the surrounding world, adding meaning to life. Participants in these classes not only express themselves, but also develop the necessary artistic skills to refine their self-expression.
"Art has played and essential role in my healing journey. Drawing and painting allows me to explore the deepest reaches of my being. Through drawing I can tell the untellable story for which there are NO words."
