Neurographic Drawing for Tweens and Teens
Tuesday, July 21, 3-5 PM, Fuller Creative Learning Center
Neurographic drawing, or neurographica, is a therapeutic art technique developed in 2014. It involves creating freeform lines and shapes on paper to promote relaxation, stress reduction, and self-discovery. The process is often described as meditative and can be used to explore emotions, process thoughts, and even facilitate problem-solving. All abilities welcome. Optional community service hours are also available during this program.
