Self Regulating Art Strategies with Just 15 Minutes a Day

Art classes are going strong!

Our art classes at YC Academy continue to make waves this week! Our friends spend the first 15 minutes of class to sketch, color, write, scrapbook and more in their notebooks to ease them into our art sessions. After this time, we have noticed the students transition well into their activities and some are excited to share what they have created.

Our advice this week is to take some time for yourself to sit with a sketch book and just get all of your feelings out! Sit outside and draw the landscape, journal how your week has been going, just find an outlet!!
