Intro to Art & Spirituality
August 22, 2020 at 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
This informal class is intended as an experimental journey of creating art as a spiritual practice. Building your creative spiritual awareness and conquering your fears are more important than having a “perfect” end product of art. I, Eric, am your guide or art coach in building your awareness. My goal is that you become more observant using your innate creativity. We’re on this creative spiritual journey together.The whole class will help each other in an accepting group effort on this journey. Join us, please!
Our first class will be held at the North Olmsted Community Park by the Community Council Pavilion. A Mask and Social Distancing are required for class. Bring a chair, a mat, or a blanket to sit on. A sketch book and a pen or other drawing materials are required for this class. Parking is close by. Bring water or favorite non alcoholic beverages.
The classes are free, but donations to the Olmsted Unitarian Universalist Congregation at 5050 Porter Road, North Olmsted, OH 44070 care of the Treasurer at OUUC are encouraged and appreciate
