Exploring New Beginnings: The Kroc Center's Transformative Visual Arts Program
Nestled in the heart of our community lies a hidden gem, offering not just art lessons but a journey of self-discovery and growth. The "Create New Beginnings" program at the Kroc Center is more than just a visual arts course; it's a 10-week transformative experience designed to enrich the mind, spirit, and artistic skill of each participant.
A Holistic Approach to Learning
Imagine a space where creativity meets introspection, where artistic expression intertwines with deep personal reflection. Each week, participants of the Create New Beginnings program gather for a unique session that blends thematic discussions, flower symbolism, art techniques, and spiritual insights.
Thematic Discussions: The program delves into profound topics such as Vulnerability, Forgiveness, Reconciliation, Emotions, Empathy, and Courage. Through guided discussions, participants explore these themes from various perspectives, encouraging empathy and understanding.
Flower Symbolism: Symbolism plays a crucial role in the program, with each session beginning with the presentation of flowers. The choice of flowers aligns with the theme of the week, offering a tangible representation of the lessons to be learned.
Art Techniques: Led by experienced instructors, participants learn a variety of visual art techniques including color mixing, watercolor and acrylic painting methods, design variations, and mixed media approaches. Each technique is carefully selected to complement the theme of the week, fostering creativity and skill development.
Spiritual Component: Rooted in spiritual enrichment, the program incorporates relevant Bible verses and guided prayers that correspond with the weekly themes. This aspect provides a deeper layer of reflection and connection for those seeking spiritual growth.
Nurturing Growth and Community
Beyond the strokes of paint and the blend of colors, Create New Beginnings cultivates an environment where personal insights are shared and friendships are formed. Each class session concludes with participants sharing their artistic creations and reflecting on the insights gained—be they artistic breakthroughs, spiritual awakenings, or personal growth milestones.
