Session Format and Activities
As before, each session will consist of two parts:
Part I is facilitated by Midwest ARIES and uses group discussion to help participants to develop a wider understanding of what creativity is and how it benefits personal wellbeing. Facilitators will help participants to find simple ways to weave creativity into their everyday lives.
Venue for Part I is the Hunt Museum, Captains’ Room, on Floor 1. The content of Part 1 is repeated every time a session is delivered.
Break – 12.40pm to 1pm (light refreshments will be served but please feel free to bring a snack)
Part II is facilitated by Hunt Museum staff, often in collaboration with local artists. It provides participants with opportunities to experience the wellbeing benefits of hands-on creativity. Art activities are always inspired by objects and artworks in the Hunt Museum Collection. A new art activity is developed for every session. Participants are encouraged to experiment and enjoy the process of making art rather than focusing on the final outcome.
Important Information to know:
