Time: 4pm-5:15pm
Location: CAPS Group Room (meet at CAPS Front Desk)
Description: Join us for a creative session, whether you think of yourself as an artist or not! Using a simple, eight-page book structure, we will create mini artist's books allowing each person to express facets of who they are. The session will include time to reflect, time to create, and time to share if you would like. (No one will be required to share.) This session will provide space for students to pause during the busyness of the semester, to reflect on the aspects of themselves they draw upon daily as well as the parts of themselves that might not get as much expression, and to create a small book they can take with them as they continue to deepen and develop their sense of self.
