This module is where play becomes practice. Through intuitive acrylic exploration and mark-making, you learn to meet experimentation without judgement and follow curiosity instead of control.

Emotional Outcome: trust, play, creative freedom
Session Outcomes:
• identify and work with creative barriers such as doubt or hesitation
• practise observation instead of premature critique
• explore abstract techniques through hands-on experiments
• create a set of abstract studies as seeds for future work

Here the work shifts inward. Through collage and guided visualisation, you learn to surface emotion, symbolism and intuitive narrative. Instead of trying to “explain” your experience — you allow it to take form.

Emotional Outcome: self-listening, inspiration, emotional clarity

Session Outcomes:

• • gain confidence in playful, intuitive approaches
• • develop mixed collage techniques using found and created materials
• • use creative visualisation to access inner symbolism
• • compose collages with narrative and emotional presence

With presence, trust and inner imagery now integrated, the journey turns toward personal authorship — your own creative voice taking the lead.

This is where experimentation becomes direction. You begin your personal abstract artwork, drawing from your motif library, inspiration and internal compass. The goal is not the finished piece — but the agency of beginning from within.

Emotional Outcome: agency, direction, inner autonomy
Session Outcomes:
• use awareness practices to transition into focused flow
• develop nature-inspired references for design and composition
• apply colour theory consciously and intentionally
• begin their canvas with flexibility and trust

Once the work has begun, you are supported to stay with it — long enough to experience inner confidence through continuation.

This is the moment the inner shift becomes visible — not because the artwork is “perfect,” but because you have stayed present long enough to deepen into it.

Emotional Outcome: resilience, confidence, momentum
Session Outcomes:
• apply mindfulness to move through doubt, freeze or over-editing
• reflect on how their artwork evolves without self-criticism
• evaluate and adapt their goals using process awareness
• document their journey as part of embodied creative understanding

With your project anchored, the final step is renewal — learning how to continue sustainably beyond the container of the course.

The closing session is about carrying creativity forward in a way that is light, joyful and sustainable. You transform offcuts, remnants and experiments into a series of unique art cards — a symbolic reminder that nothing is wasted in your creative life, or in you.

Emotional Outcome: renewal, continuity, sustainable self-support
Session Outcomes:
• integrate skills from all mediums explored
• learn sustainable creative practices for ongoing use
• create six unique hand-made art cards
• design a personal mindfulness + creativity routine for beyond the series
