Course Description:
This is an in-depth workshop based on the principles of neurocognitive art therapy, where participants will practice neurographic art, following the leadership of a trained art therapist (Please note: this workshop is *not* group art therapy).
Each piece starts with a meditative self-inquiry that proceeds into a structured, abstract creation that allows you to "see" how your thoughts are organized. This fun and mindful creative practice can be implemented with drawing, paint, or mixed media collage - your choice!
You will leave with a finished piece of abstract art and, hopefully, additional insight into your original question.
Level: All levels welcome

About the Artist:
Hannah Schaler is a local artist and art therapist with a dual background in the arts and fitness/wellness. For her entire life, she has walked the line between arts and sciences, always wondering how it all fits together and what the heck it all means?! Hannah completed her AA in Studio Art at Florida State University, BA in Art History from the University of Florida, and MA in Art Therapy from Loyola Marymount University. She is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and has taught yoga and mindfulness for more than 14 years. Her personal art practice mixes mediums such as on fibers, paint, drawing to create large-scale images that confront systems of oppression in our society. She has a private art therapy practice in Santa Monica, and she spends her down time singing along to Broadway, sewing garments, or playing tennis.
