FREE. No need to book, just drop in
Slow down, look and connect in these creative sessions at The Hepworth Wakefield.
Join us in in February and March for a journey through the fantastical terrains of Surrealism over 100 years, looking at how Surreal ideas can turn landscape into a metaphor for the unconscious and fuse the bodily with the botanical. In these sessions we will spend time looking, reflecting and responding to art works taking the time to notice details and consider our own responses to the work. In the learning studios join in relaxed creative activities.
No previous experience or art knowledge required.
Art can help us to feel well and explore our feelings, Artworks often embody an emotion, experience or story that might be difficult to understand or express with words. Art also helps us to understand different experiences and connect to others. Making and looking at art can help develop wellbeing skills such as mindfulness.
