Item Special Note

Creative Expressions is a holistic program addressing the physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs of the people supported by Ontario ARC. It teaches skills and techniques that give individuals with disabilities and other challenges tools they can use to interact and engage with others in the community. By fostering creative development through the visual arts, music, and horticulture, individuals are encouraged to expand upon traditional methods of communication and explore alternate avenues of expression and interaction. Program participants are given the opportunity to create, build upon skills, express opinions, set goals, explore new media and engage in collaborative team building.

 

ART PROGRAM

The Art Studio encourages participants to bring their creative selves to the surface. Guided by our art specialist, each group or individual session is uniquely tailored to meet individual needs, abilities, and goals. Artists have access to a variety of mediums including drawing, painting, sculpture, book arts, printmaking, and digital animation. Through the sharing of ideas in a positive and supportive environment, artists can begin to explore the unique mark they make, influencing paper and the world around them.

PHILOSOPHY

Through group and individual sessions, participants in the Creative Expressions program are encouraged to express themselves in a variety of creative ways. Offering a therapeutic experience in an educational environment, each session is an avenue for personal enrichment and exploration through which skill development can occur.
