DISCOVER WAYS ART AND WRITING AND SHARING A PIECE OF OURSELVES CAN CONNECT US TO OTHERS IN A SPECIAL WAY
Every child or teen struggling with a health challenge has a story. Journaling is a way to discover one’s story as we write about our thoughts and feelings about what is going on in our life. This workshop introduces us to fun ways to both look inside and share a part of us with others. Sometimes our story is something we want to keep private. Other times it is something to be celebrated and shared. Expressing who we are can be fun and help us connect to others too.
The holidays are approaching and we all need a little holiday cheer. You will be creating art, with attached notes, to drop into the community to spread love and happiness. This workshop is open for all ages, including parents. Come and create with artist Lidsay DeAlbaand writter Sheri Sobrato of Digging Deep Journal.
Here are couple interviews on the artist and Project Happiness:
Organized by
Kids & Art Foundation provides free, ongoing art experiences to support families with children and youth in treatment for cancer and other critical medical conditions. Our understanding that participation in art making helps ease the stress, anxiety, and trauma children treatment endure — while also allowing for joy, creativity, and self-expression — is at the core of all we do.
The Amaeyzing ArtKits projects collection is designed to offer independent art experiences, accessible whenever it best serves your child and family as a creative arts support. Every project is designed by our lead artist to inspire relaxation, self-expression, and fun. Each ArtKit contains all instructions and supplies needed to engage in the art project experience, as well as access to a pre-recorded video artist guide.
Why “Amaeyzing?” Kids & Art Foundation is inspired by the experience of our founder’s son, Amaey, called Amazing Amaey by his friends. That is how we coined the term “Amaeyzing” for many of the Kids & Art programs. Amaeyzing ArtKits are a cornerstone of Kids & Art.
