GO Create - Art Group
At Grampian Opportunities, we believe in the power of creativity to enrich lives and foster personal growth. Our "Go Create Art Group" is designed to provide a nurturing and inclusive space where individuals with learning disabilities, long-term conditions, mental health problems, and autism can explore their artistic potential and express themselves freely.
Program Overview
Grampian Opportunities Art and Craft Group
The Art and Craft Group runs on Wednesday afternoons from 1.30 to 3.30 pm. It is an inclusive and exciting but above all safe space, where adults can learn to develop their creative side freely and securely through undertaking a broad range of creative activities. Our open and friendly approach helps encourage the creativity that is innately present in all of us. Some examples of the activities include painting from still life and the observing of nature, collage, jewellery making (using air dried clay), paper folding and paper flower making, home decorations and card making. The class is very sociable (we like chatting!) where art is the focal point but where conversations between each other run freely and are of central importance too; self-confidence and development is learned through creating and having have fun.
