ABQ Secular Homeschool Collaborative
SELF DIRECTED ART
with Magen Hansen
AGES 7+
This is a great hour for all ages (6-18) to find your creative flow! We will provide tons of diverse art materials, and you can decide how you’d like to create. Each week, we plan to offer a new medium or material along with a range of other regular materials. We will also do our best to provide any materials you request. Some may choose to work solo and others to work on group creations. We plan to be in a large space where individuals and groups can spread out. If a child/teen needs this to be a rest period, they can also use this period for quiet solo rest time. We create agreements collaboratively of how to treat each other and the space in order to foster a creative, supportive environment.
Examples of some of the supplies we might have: collage supplies, sewing supplies, jewelry making supplies, air-dry clay, pastels, charcoal, markers, paper, craft supplies, paint, fabric, felt, ribbon, sticks, yarn, polymer clay, beads, paint markers, fabric paint, wood, found junk/loose parts, embroidery floss and hoops, low-temp glue guns, etc.
