Paint Nights & Fairy Gardens
Campus Well-Being welcomes you to tap into your creative side, connect with new people and take some time for your wellness.
Go Wild, Free Flow Paint Night (NDC, EDC)
When it comes to making art, it’s all about the process! Let your imagination and intuition flow – we supply all the materials and you bring your creativity.
Kisa MacIsaac, paint night instructor extraordinaire, will be on hand to offer guidance, help with techniques, tips and tricks to make your painting come alive.
Materials for this unique paint night experience include: various sizes of paint canvases, sponges, variety of stencils, pencils, acrylic paint, variety of brushes, cardstock, scissors (to create custom stencils), and some different “loose parts” to use to create your unique and wild artwork to take home!
Note: This paint night is NOT a guided step-by-step painting. Instead, you will be shown some ideas on how to use the materials, with some visual ideas of wild kinds of art you could create, and you will be encouraged to be brave, let your stress melt away and just create, following your intuition along the way)
