ALL SKILL LEVELS

SUPPLIES INCLUDED

Class Description:

Do you want to reduce your stress and recharge after summer break? The Art for Wellbeing workshop is perfect for you to learn how to use art to boost your wellbeing, while connecting with others in a fun, interactive environment. You will experience an immersive, low-pressure studio setting designed to empower you to explore your inner voice, discover strategies to lower your stress level through art, and make new connections with others.

Whether you are feeling burnt out, or looking to try something new, this class is your opportunity to experiment with acrylics to create your original piece of art. During this three-hour workshop, we will prioritize experimentation with acrylics over the final product; using your art generation process as a bridge to mindfulness, visualization, and enhanced wellbeing.

You will leave the workshop with your original piece of art on canvas, and actionable strategies to boost your quality of life through your own unique art practice.

Join us with an open mind and creative energy. All supplies are included (e.g., paints, brushes, and canvas).

- "I encourage you to give it a try. You simply can't go wrong. The class will give you excellent grounding."
- "Relax! Let the surprises guide you. Have fun!”


MEET THE ARTIST:

Felicia Kaloydis is an acrylic and watercolor artist with over fifteen years of experience in art-making, who brings an eclectic depth to the teaching of acrylic painting to various age groups. She combines the mastery of acrylics in her art practice with a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Psychology, which creates a learning environment that goes beyond brush strokes; it focuses on the link between the artist’s core intentions and the canvas. Felicia’s artwork on the human connection to nature has been featured at the Virginia Beach Art Center, and the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art. She is a member of the Virginia Watercolor Society, as well as the National Oil and Acrylic Painters’ Society.

As an instructor, Felicia specializes in simplifying the process of painting with acrylics. She utilizes her psychological expertise to guide students in overcoming creative blocks and honing their observational skills to create original artwork.
