SUMMARY:Aspirational Shoes: Teen Art Camp with Joalida Smit
DESCRIPTION:This camp runs Monday\, July 10 – 14\, 9:00am – 12:00pm\nBring your own or choose from our collection of crazy interesting images of shoes and construct your own art work using mixed media. \nThis class will teach teens to think about art as a way to communicate something about themselves.

Through these fun workshops she brings together her two passions: art and psychology\, assisting teens to think about their full creative selves. This course is open to all teens. LGBTQ friendly. This is not art therapy but using art to tell stories of psychological significance.   www.joalidasmit.com
