MindArt Session 7: Realign

Welcome to Session 7. We begin with the graceful Samoan Hand Dance for relaxation - guided movements by Alice-Ann Levitoa that gently echo flowers opening, accompanied by music generously gifted by her family.

This flows into the next activity: the nature table, where participants consider how we instinctively classify and organise vegetation. It is a wonderful group activity, and you may be surprised at just how different the two groups arrangements are.

This in turn leads into the stencil leaf rotational drawing , which is the longest drawing we undertake in the entire MindArt programme, and for good reason. Everyone loves it! But, not everyone enjoys the effect of wetting the watercolour pencil lines, so demonstrate this first and let participants choose whether they would like to do this or not.

Everything you need is listed below. Take the time to refer to your training notes and listen to the materials and tips film for this session — they are genuinely helpful. And as always, we’re here if you have any questions.
