Warm-up exercise:
First, as a group we will sit at the table and create a temporary work with salt on a beautiful large black flannel cloth. We then move the cloth and other shapes are created in the salt (see photo). We can take pictures of this and that is the image you take home; the saltwork itself is a temporary work of art that eventually disappears completely. This invites you to enjoy your creativity in the moment, to let everything happen, and to let go of everything.

Then you will draw with salt on the dark gray floor or another surface and you can make all kinds of patterns and shapes. A kind of soothing modern Zen drawing. You can discover new shapes by moving through it with sticks or brushes.

At the end you can also take a photo of this as a reminder. It is therefore not just about producing a final image, as is often the case in a classical form of drawing, but it is above all a process, an experience in the moment. Transformation.

Accessible to everyone, no experience necessary. 

Docent
Yvette Teeuwen graduated as a (multidisciplinary) Visual Artist from the Royal Art Academy of The Hague. After graduating, she immediately started to develop her visual art as an independent artist and exhibited frequently both at home and abroad (such as in Amsterdam, Dordrecht, Tilburg, Rotterdam and The Hague, and abroad in Finland, Germany, Belgium and Portugal). Her art is inter-multi-disciplinary in nature and in recent years more emphasis has been placed on performative photography, live art performance and video performance art. Many of her video performances have been shown at international festivals in India, Mexico, Chile, Philadelphia/US, Brazil, Argentina and more.

In addition to her art (23 years of experience), she has been teaching for 15 years as a museum teacher at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag and additionally at the Fotomuseum Den Haag, and she has also given various own workshops in, among other things, intuitive drawing and painting, performance art, photographic-interdisciplinary workshops, spoken word, etc., to various ages and at various locations. In her spare time, she has been training privately for 23 years with various teachers in Taoist Chi-kung. She uses a number of basic exercises at the start of each lesson so that everyone can enjoy the lesson openly and relaxed.                                                                                                          
Her strength lies in playfully inviting people to experiment, using your feelings & intuition, and following (innovative) impulses. She knows how to create a nice, safe atmosphere in which you can naturally follow and shape the individuality of your creativity. Due to the unique combination of her experiences in art, meditation and Chi Kung, each course has a light mindfulness content that offers the participant points of departure to soften your inner critic that can sometimes get in the way of a creative process.
