Feeling much better when you doodle or when you draw or even color? Then this class might be the one for you! This coming September 27, Trade School Manila would be offering an Art Therapy class. It doesn't matter if you know art or you're not good at it -- this class would focus on the process rather than the outcome! Besides, art is art, there is no such thing as good and bad, only beautiful art.

The class would be facilitated by Mariel Sandico, a multimedia designer and educator from Quezon City. She's currently managing an artist volunteer collaborative that aims to empower the youth through the arts.

ART THERAPY WORKSHOP September 27, 2014 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM The Midnight Owl, Mapagkawanggawa St. cor. Mabait St., UP Village, Quezon City
