Connection, Creativity and Comfort
We have lots of warmth and creativity to share. See below for some of the types of expressive arts activities we offer in our videos.
Art is for all of us
This is an example of “collage”. You and your loved one can try this at home. Here’s how:
Collect old magazines, wrapping paper, greeting cards, yarn, ribbon, flat paper (or cardboard) to workon.
Tear (or safely use scissors) to cut out shapes, colours and words that attract your attention.
Move the images you collect around on your flat sheet of paper or cardboard into an arrangement that feels right for you - no right or wrong way. Use a glue stick to adhere your images.
Dollar stores: A source of inspiration
Here is another example of “collage” using easy and affordable arty materials picked up at a dollar store. Markers, glue sticks, tape, scissors (to be used safely), yarn, beading kits, paint, mini wooden boxes, and canvasses are just some of the treasures you can bring to your home art-ing activities.
