Art & Mindfulness for School Groups. Virtual Program for Creativity and Well-being.

Welcome to Art & Mindfulness for School Groups. Virtual Program for Creativity and Well-being. 

I’m Veronica Huacuja (pronounced wu-a-koo-ha), a professional plastic artist and a seasoned online art teacher who has designed this art program for school parents, specifically for mothers of the school community.

Likewise, I invite you to know about my academic background and professional experience at the following links: EnglishSpanish.

The program aims to be a means of anti-stress relaxation through artistic enjoyment. The teaching I offer is a lifelong learning, as it encourages the participants to practice their emotional intelligence both individually and as a group.

Precedents

Nowadays, school authorities know that parents who cultivate a stress-free lifestyle become invaluable guides for their children’s emotional well-being. Through leading by example, fostering open communication, and teaching emotional regulation, these parents empower their children with the skills to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and serenity.

The program encourages these aims for school parents as it stimulates an artistic journey that provides them with tools that contribute to the enrichment of their personal and family life. Also, to establish an active communication among the group by promoting a learning environment of mutual support.

The program’s goals

1. One primary goal of the program is to encourage participants to incorporate an artistic hobby into their daily lives (drawing, painting, or sculpting). I unfold strategies to achieve this aim.

2. To improve the physical, emotional and spiritual state of the participants–and to create an optimal learning environment–, I’ve included initial Mindfulness exercises (the first 7 minutes of each session). These, with the use of acupressure as the technique. I encourage this practice daily as it promotes mental health, emotional balance, self-regulation, and increases self-esteem, among other benefits.

At the same time I teach painting, drawing, or sculpting, I introduce the group to artistic movements, such as realismimpressionismsurrealismcubism, among others. Also, to the works and lives of great painters, sculptors, photographers, and other artists. This induction seeks to create an aesthetic experience that leads parents to experience the beauty in our art exercises. In this way, we together live a unique artistic adventure.

Other relevant aspects 

I attend to the interests of the group, their level–beginners, intermediate, advanced–personalities, needs and learning rhythms.

I do the teaching in real-time, remotely.  

Educational components 

I provide the following components of the program to the school leader and the students.

User Guide. I provide this comprehensive User Guide to the school leader in charge of the program. This document is a detailed resource that explains the educational method and the specific content covered in the program. It also includes an overview of the objectives and its outcomes, as well as step-by-step instructions for its implementation. I recommend the school leader review this document to gain a full understanding of the program and its potential benefits for its community. Here’s an excerpt of the User’s Guide for your reference.

Session Plans. To ensure that the participants are well-prepared and engaged, I provide them with detailed Session Plans before each session. These easy-reading documents give them a clear understanding of what to expect, and help them to prepare any necessary materials or questions in advance.

Each course includes 6 Session Plan, one for each session. 

THE PROGRAM COURSES. THE EDUCATIVE OFFER.

The program comprises the following courses regarding painting, drawing, and sculpting. With my guidance, the group may choose the activities, techniques, and materials according to their interests.
