The Landscape painting workshop was an opportunity for families living with autism to feel, explore and enjoy the serenity of nature. CWAs and their family members showed enthusiasm for learning color, composition, abstraction, value and other art basics by observing their surroundings. Art therapy is a valuable tool in nurturing creativity, reconciling emotional conflicts, fostering self-awareness, and spurring personal growth -- whether you are on the spectrum or neuro-typical.
This event would not have been possible had it not been for the kind help of Ms. Tess Caraig, who sponsored the refreshments and the venue. Salamat po!
