What are you grateful for?

The theme this week was based on recognizing the things we are grateful for and recognizing the emotions that we all have. In our opening circle everyone made a gratitude list that included one aspect we were grateful for physically, one aspect we were grateful for as a friend, one aspect about our family relations and one aspect about ourselves in the world.

Our yoga practice focused on tuning into the emotions we have and physically challenging ourselves to do strengthening poses.

Emotion paintings were made during our studio time using a water color resist technique. A short critique of our work was held at the end of the session.

Body Politics

In our yoga practice we focused on listening to each part of our body. Andy Warhol was our inspiration for our art making practice this week. We talked about Pop art and viewed several examples of Warhol’s screen prints. This lead as inspiration for our intaglio print making project where each girl drew a line drawing of herself that was transferred to a foam printing plate and then printed onto several sheets of paper.
