Where:

Why:
To promote relaxation and stress reduction for students through painting and creating personal art. 

Background:
The “Relax. Revive. Create.” workshop will assist in promoting tension relief with the repetitive painting approach of zentangle patterns or mixed media paintings in the inspiring and relaxing environment of the Contemplation Garden at the Oasis. The garden’s plants and flowers will also provide great inspiration for students in the “Contemplation Painting” workshop while they create paintings inspired by ancient West African Wisdom symbols. Each session has limited space available on a first-come first-served basis. All painting materials will be provided for free. Students can register 24 hours before their desired class date at www.csun.edu/oasis.
