For Older Adults
Explore creativity and mindfulness through art in this relaxed, beginner‑friendly program inspired by the work of Henri Matisse. Using colourful shapes and simple materials, you’ll create an abstract portrait while learning a gentle, step‑by‑step approach to observing and representing your subject.
This guided process encourages you to slow down, look closely, and create with intention, resulting in a meaningful and expressive piece of art.
All skill levels are welcome, and all materials are provided.
