Creative Connections: Adaptive Arts for Adults with Additional Needs

Creative Connections is a course for adults with additional needs who enjoy being creative and would like to explore different art techniques and mediums in a friendly and relaxed environment. At the end of the course, an end of year exhibition will be held at Winsford Library where your art work will be on display for members of the public to come and view.

The purpose of this course is to provide you with the opportunity to engage in creative activities. Participating in creative activities helps to bring a sense of achievement and boost your self-esteem. Additionally, these activities offer opportunities for social interaction and integration, helping you build friendships and feel connected to your community and feel proud of what you have accomplished.

You will learn how to:

• Use mixed media to create artworks
• Learn drawing and painting techniques
• Create personalised artworks and crafts
• Create 2D and 3D artworks
• Capture photographic images

Engaging in creative pursuits can offer a pathway to personal growth, fulfilment and social connections. This course will allow the individuals who take part to embrace their uniqueness, express themselves and contribute to an end goal of a final art exhibition.
