Getting creative with your kids at home and even your teens can be as close as your bathroom drawer. Painting our faces for fun, with creativity or to practice your “look” can all be great places to find connecting and creativity. Let’s talk about creative ideas for projects “the face painting edition”.
Part of finding the right fit among the numerous licensed counselors out there is once you get started you develop a good working relationship with the person you’ve chosen. That does not mean that you turn into best friends who text each other and spend time hanging out outside of the office.
So is your centerpiece or your mantle decorations an altar? Are they considered art? In my opinion, anytime you take something and switch it up a bit, decorate it or manipulate it in some way; you’re making art. So let’s look at an altarpiece as a work of art and see how we can turn seasonal altars or any kind of altarpiece into different dramatic focal points in your house!
Let’s talk about being artistic versus being creative. Have I ever told you about my mom? She was a preschool teacher for as long as I can remember. I think if I’m correct she was a teacher right out of college and then when my brother and I were born she stayed home for a while and once we were old enough to be responsible for wiping our own butts and not burning the house down when making a pot of mac and cheese she went back to work.
Why did I know I wanted to become a licensed counselor? I don’t have an exact day or time but I can definitely tell you that it was somewhere in middle school. For sure there was a GIANT blinking red light over my head by the time I was in high school. I was ALWAYS the one that my friends came to for advice. I was the “momma” to all my friends.
