All of our students want to enhance their artistic abilities. This may be in visual arts, singing, dancing, acting, writing, or instrumentally. The students have one of the longest school days for high school students as it runs from 8 am to 5 pm, not including any extra rehearsals they may have. This project is so needed for the students. Donations will help to calm the mind and build the self-esteem that they need to be a successful artist. Allowing the students the freedom to express themselves on a canvas, on paper, or on the mat will give them the mental fortitude do be their best through out the day. The yoga mats and blocks, origami paper, canvas' and paints, and snacks WILL help the student find zen in their mind and balance in the classroom. The first and foremost is to give all students a chance to play with with different materials and express themselves however they are feeling in the moment. I am a certified yoga instructor and I would welcome the opportunity to curate yoga classes based on what my students need and want to learn. Yoga practice allows for insight into what your body and mind needs and the younger a person can listen to their body the sooner they stand tall and walk with confidence. The origami paper will allow the students to use geometry to create figures out of paper. The canvas' with allow all students the opportunity to create anything they can imagine. The goal with my group of students is to give them the space where they know they will be able to relax their mind, learn strategies to reduce stress, and find their zen. Let's enhance the environment not only in the classroom, but on the stage or gallery as well.
