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!
