Workshop
It All Begins Here
Is a community program offering a thematic curriculum for all ages. The activities combine the concepts of folk art, re-use materials, foraging, place-based art, & transformative art. Taking inspiration from the flora & history of Los Angeles.
To encourage to explore creativity, self-expression, and experimentation through open-ended process art activities, fostering confidence and imagination. This program is guided by John Dewey’s philosophy of learning by doing, emphasizing that people learn best through active, hands-on experiences.
By encouraging self discovery, originality, and individualism we avoid the competitive atmosphere and expect each participant to proceed at their own pace without the pressure of creating a final product. The process of making is where the learning happens.
“A workshop of activities such as these can be a contagious place for idea seeding and spreading; a laboratory for the development of natural curiosity and experiment. We hope to excite new ways of seeing, feeling and being in order to perceive the innate creative potential in every one of us.” Ann Wiseman
