Join solo artist Diana Varco (IG @dianavarco) as she leads a daily art therapy exercise to draw your feelings into the language of weather!
No need to stick to just weather. Anything goes in your ‘Weather Report’ – so draw away!
Join Diana daily LIVE at 11am PST on IG @dianavarco to draw your emotions into art.
Here’s Diana’s ‘weather’ for today, April 15th:
Like weather – daily emotions are different and, at times, also somewhat the same. They can change minute by minute or stay for much longer than we’d prefer.
For Diana, the past week of this daily art exercise has seen a journey of frustration and acceptance – as well as the reliance on (and gratitude for) creativity.
Track your journey by joining Diana daily and writing down the description of your picture afterwards – at the end of stay at home orders, we will have a story of our experience!
