Forest Lawn Arts Programming Week 8: Exploring Mental Health as a Collective

Program Description:

Week 8 will be a prep activity for week 9, where we will be exploring what mental health means to us as a collective in a space of co-creation. This week, all youth will have the opportunity to participate in an art piece where they will take turns creating a drawing that expresses what mental health means on an individual level. The objective of this week is to be able to work as a team to create a cohesive piece while still including personal expression and positionality. How can mental health be expressed through art (positive or negative)? What does "mental health" mean? Why is it important?
