Worried that your audience is not ‘artistic’? Yes, they are! All art activities included in the workshops are beginner-level and accessible, and the artistic medium can be tailored based on your audience (e.g. collage, drawing, painting, etc.). The focus is on developing the specific interpersonal or team development skills presented in the workshop. There is no ‘bad art’ here. The process of creation is the meaningful learning experience.
