This month, our focus on creative expression continues with
a focus on art. Art, as with beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. It is
understandable that some have great artistic ability and others do not. But, at
Juniper we know that everyone has a passion for creative expression, regardless
of ability or age. Pablo Picasso once said, “All children are artists. The
problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” He is speaking about becoming
inhibited as adults. With our various art programs we encourage uninhibited
creativity as a form of therapy. Creating art affords the opportunity of
self-exploration and self-expression leading to both physical and mental
benefits. Creating art in any of its various forms, is also about sharing a bit
of ourselves with each other. Art is one way to express ourselves, and the
creations are honest and true representations of our experiences. In sharing
our stories through art with others we invite communication and create lasting
bonds.
Art typically encompasses painting, sculpting, and drawing.
But, the act of creating art can be as simple as doodling. Art is simply the
creation of something outside one’s self that often mirrors what is going on
within their mind, soul, and body. We use creative arts as a way to nurture the
spirit of life. Join us throughout February as we focus on great varieties of
art such as photography, needlework, handicrafts, painting, sculpture and more.
Please join us as we share a bit of ourselves with our weekly craft classes,
experience art on an outing to an art museum, and embrace our celebratory
spirit with Mardi Gras and St. Patrick’s Day parties. We look forward to
helping you Awaken Your Passion this month!
