HMS Art & Education Workshops:
Hart Mind Soul Art & Education workshops work with communities to provide art programs, supplies and instructors to the youth who need them the most.
Our program introduces youth to a healthy alternative to drugs, alcohol and vandalism through a disciplined focus on artistic talents and skills. By focusing on leadership, decision making skills, creative problem solving and accountability we encourage healthy, self expression through the arts while helping others within the community. Multiple outlets for expression are covered including an intense focus on advanced mural application, skills and style. Basic and advanced tools and techniques are covered in most programs.
What:
Hart Mind Soul Professional speaking and hands on workshops based on topics such as leadership, team building, communication and integrity.
All Hart Mind Soul Workshop materials will be provided. The workshops can be presented in a variety of durations and settings. There can be both indoor and outdoor sessions. Suggested dates for the workshop are flexible, however we propose that you work with the needs and curriculum of local administration. Participants will receive handouts describing techniques, worksheets for designing their own mural projects, personal and peer evaluations and be asked to participate in painting a mural of their own.
