Welcome
Welcome to DAY ONE!!!
We're so excited you're here on this artistic journey with us. You're going to have a great time. The more you share and listen to one another the more you will get out of this experience. On this fun and creative adventure, know that it is totally normal to have a lot of feelings come up and that's OK. Responding to and making art is an emotional process. As we progress on this journey together, please know that this class is a safe space to share any thoughts. You may also reach out to the course leader to discuss strong emotions and responses. You might find it helpful to keep a journal to document your experience and growth during this time. Welcome to Consenses. We're so glad you're here.
