One fee of $10 covers cost of all three days of class.Oct, 15, 22, &amp; 2910:00am-1:00pmAges 11-14At this age of adolescence many children are seeking to discover their identities. In this process they are constantly developing and changing their perceptions. Located at the Chrysler Museum of Art, Framing Mindfulness is a three day art class that allows middle school youth to self reflect and become intune with who they are through art making. Inspired by the current exhibition on view at the Chrysler Museum of Art, To See a World in a Grain of Sand, by artists Nadine Sterk and Lonny Van Ryswyck, Framing Mindfulness will encourage youth to cherish moments of self-awareness, appreciating and connecting to their individual experiences and feelings. Middle school participants will explore fantastic sand works by artists Nadine Sterk and Lonny van Ryswyck to inspire their own mindful creation. Students will also investigate additional works from the Chrysler Museum of Art collection to examine how art is displayed and preserved. In our class, middle school youth will create therapeutic art through the use of natural and recycled materials, and practice personalized attachment techniques to frame their work. In this part of the class, students will enhance their fine art making abilities by creating a unique sculptural work. By allowing youth the opportunity to build and mount their sand creation, Framing Mindfulness will challenge students to explore how we preserve the things that are valuable to us. Come join us to create works of art that will continually bring you a moment of mindfulness!Framing Mindfulness is presented by ODU preservice teachers, Amber Pierce and Aubrey RediferBy registering for this, you agree to your commitment for all three classes.
