What's your story and how does it relate to your community? Sometimes it is difficult to express in words, so why not try painting it? After a brief introduction to the dot painting technique, you will paint your own story using some of the ancient symbols and creating your own! No previous painting experience necessary.
Tap into your intuition and express your experience of your community by using symbols & colors that inspire you.
Your story can incorporate anything from your past experiences in life to how you envision your future. It can be about your neighborhood, your family, love, loss, and anything in between.
