Mask Making WorkshopArt Expression Workshop Through Mask Making Facilitated by Fran Eldridge, MA,ATR,LPC July 25, 2009 9AM - 3pm contact Fran: In life we wear many masks, each appropriate to the situation in which we find ourselves. Over time we get in the habit of using only a few "faces" out of the extensive repertoire we possess. Self-expression has the power to communicate one's unique perspective. Art expression through mask making unveils the hidden wonders of both the varying nuances of the self as well as the concealed realms and becomes a vehicle for growth. Mask making holds the potential for exploring inner imagery and creative resources which we cannot access in an ordinary way. It is working without a preconceived notion of the end result that opens us to discover "something else" about ourselves. The first stage in the process of recognizing one's self is how all our capabilities and intricacies are made apparent to us. This workshop will focus on the exploration of the participants ' identity and self-awareness using art materials in an open studio environment in the context of Mask Making. A variety of responses to materials and processes will be investigated through experiential learning CEU's pending |
