New! GROUP SESSION for Conventions and Special Events of 2.5 hours.
I'm Veronica Huacuja (wu-a-koo-ha), a professional plastic artist, an Industrial Designer with a Master’s degree in Education, and a Master’s degree in Social Responsibility. Also, besides being an artist, I founded and direct an educational consulting firm, multimediosintegrales.com, where I’ve developed this Painting, Drawing, Modeling Program with Mindfulness for Business Groups and Individuals, via online. You’re welcome.
BACKGROUND
For business groups. Nowadays, companies seek to promote a favorable organizational environment that improves the worker’s emotional state, and enhances its intra and interpersonal skills (soft skills). This online program promotes these elements. The foregoing, aligning its internal Social Responsibility programs to their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Agenda 2030.
For groups and individuals. The program is taught online–in real time–and, it promotes a proactive communication between the participants.
The practice of Mindfulness. The program includes initial exercises of Mindfulness (the first 7 minutes, using acupressure as the technique), which improve the emotional state, and seek to create a better learning environment. Likewise, I encourage the daily practice of Mindfulness because it promotes mental health, self-regulation, self-knowledge and increases the self-esteem, among other benefits.
An aesthetic experience. At the same time, while teaching the practice of painting, drawing, or modeling (in clay), I introduce the participants to the pictorial movements (realism, impressionism, surrealism, cubism, etc.), to the work and life of great painters, sculptors, photographers, film directors, and other artists. This induction seeks to create an aesthetic experience in them. I do my best to conduce them to experience beauty within our art exercises. Then, we, altogether, live an artistic adventure.
One goal of the program is to make the participants–when they’re not artists–to adopt the drawing hobby in their daily lives (in an informal way). This practice enhances creativity, improves communication skills, increases self-esteem, reduces stress, among other relevant benefits.
I prepare too those people interested in acquiring hard skills for their work, professional field or school area.
THE PROGRAM'S DESCRIPTION
I divided the Program into courses–for groups or individuals–in which I attend their interests, their level–beginner, intermediate, advanced–, personalities and learning rhythms.
