Where is a place that is special or significant to you?
What do you see, smell, hear?
Is it crowded?
It is primarily man made? Or is it a spot in nature?
Is it a place you went on vacation? Or is it a place you visit everyday?
Can you create artwork about that place?
My Happy Place
Imagination- the ability to imagine things that are not real : the ability to form a picture in your mind of something that you have not seen or experienced.
Think of a time and place where you felt really happy. Did you feel calm? Cozy? Safe? Quiet? Did you know you can visit this place whenever you like?
You can if you practice engaging your senses to make this place vivid in your mind. You could even create a new daydream place to go when you feel worried or upset. What would it be?
(ex: grandpa's farm, the creek, my room, a place with only cats and bean bag chairs, a place in my imagination with my favorite things)
Wherever and whatever your Happy Place may be, the goal of this activity is to give you the power to bring a smile to your face and peace to your heart, whenever you visit this happy place.
What did you like about it? Remember some of the details. What could you see and hear? What could you smell in this place? When you close your eyes and imagine these things, you can bring that feeling you had of calm from that place.
Create your own happy place you can hold in your heart and visit whenever you want.
Imagine it...
Create it in the drawing, collage, painting or sculpture studio
