Bodyart

• We use the shape of our body. Somebody helps to draw around us and then we can fill this shape as we like, using our imagination. This is very good task for children because they always enjoy filling their own picture with their dreams.

Weaving

While we are weaving on the loom and change the different coloured yarns, we are paying attention to our breathing. We try to synchronize out and in breathing while changing the yams. This way we can observe our mind and be in "flow". This experience of "flow" can organize and reline the inner thinking structure. And we can see and touch our work, our thoughts. 

Camps

In summers, I organize a special art camp where we, children, adults, parents, artist and amateur artists could work together with art techniques, art therapy techniques and weaving techniques in a special way. In this project we worked outside in the nature and create with watercolours, oil paint and pastels, marble paint, silk paint, wool, clay, felt and others

The aim was to be happy. Furthermore we tried to get experience of the energy and pleasure of joint creating. In its end, we organized an exhibition of their work.

Therapy and art

We move our two hands the same way for music synchronously. We draw a special painting for a long time. This creation can reborn continuously.When touching, painting and music are together the result is the perfect state of mind, the state of pleasure of creation by recreation.

Goals: sublimation of our traumas, stress and to experience the sense of achievement without frustration. We can exchange the sense of addict to the experience of sense of the "flow".

Painting with body

We use our body to paint. We paint with our nose, face, hands, fingers and feet.

Results: These exercises improve the coordination to understand the differences between right and left and we use our other hemisphere in these cases. So we can understand some artists who are not able to use their hands to create. 

Visualizations

We travel inside our mind for special experience. The travellers are the kindergartens teachers in this case. The goals of this project are improving of the creative fantasy by visualization while we are relaxed and we have a strong concentration by paying attention to our breathing. Firstly, we visualize breathing the air in and out then we paint it.

In one of our visualization we travel inside to our mind. In this case, we tried to imagine one of our desires as a stone. I lead on the visualization with lots of pictures, later we paint a real stone similar to the one in our mind.

There was a big art project in 2016. I organized a big event for deaf children at The International Day of Deaf at school. We (some deaf students and teachers) moved and drew with our all bodies for music in a hall covered with 100 m2 paper. After that everybody from the school could colours this drawing. It has a strong community-building effect.

These projects have lots of results, firstly improve the body awareness, concentration, coordination, creativity, fantasy, and consciousness.
