Nature Based Expressive Arts
Professional Development
A key aspect of expressive arts is the belief that we are all creative, and art making is for everyone. Tumbleweed promotes this value through experiential workshops for those working within the field, those who wish to bring expressive arts to the world in other fields and anyone who wants to explore expressive arts.
We greatly value the wisdom brought to each group by those with a wide range of experiences and perspectives. We strive to remove barriers to participation in professional development workshops by working with individuals, communities and organizations to understand and address needs that must be met in order for everyone interested in expressive arts to be able to fully participate.
Expressive Arts Workshops for Educators and Children
These workshops will focus on incorporating intermodal expressive arts activities into daily life and work with children. Parents/caregivers who attend the workshop are encouraged to bring the children in your lives along to explore fun art making activities together.
