Monotype Print Sample... Title EMPOWERMENT

Part of a series of work from a series of past behavioral health workshops conducted on site.

SRA connects with adults and children through learning fun and unique art techniques with printmaking and paper-making.

SRA workshops were created to educate and offer a variety of experiences in the arts. Everyone should believe that they too can be an artist! No prior experience or skill is needed for success. As participants quickly find out...the magical qualities of printmaking produce wonderful artwork! All skill levels are welcome, all participants facing challenges are encouraged.

We foster a positive environment where every adult or child is comfortable, open to learn, explore, and creatively express themselves. The art processes offer easy success, resulting in surprising prints or paper each artist creates! We sadly have heard too often from attendees, I 'can't draw, or "I am not an artist"...we as facilitators, work extremely hard at the beginning of each workshop to demonstrate how easy the process is...

Once the participants begin...the giggles, and "awe" with their creations unfold...the trepidation turns quickly into excitement!
Each participant is anxious to make the next print, experimenting with ideas and materials, happenstance and whimsy abound while creating fabulous and unusual prints!

Our reward, of course, is seeing how they beam with excitement after every "pulled" print!
