#HERSTORY | 40 MENTAL HEALTH ART MEDITATION ArtFusion 19464 is a long-standing SEI Cares partner and a nonprofit community art center located in downtown Pottstown, PA. We have been serving our community for over 16 years. Our mission is to enrich the lives of the residents in the greater Pottstown area through the visual arts, regardless of ethnicity and economic situations. Our goal is to spark creativity, build self-confidence and develop community bonds through education, mentoring and community service. www.artfusion19464.org This project is all about the process, letting go of detail and perfection and just playing with shapes and colors. Consider it a form of art meditation, a way to step back from the issues and stressors of the moment and do something completely different. It can fill whatever time you have available, whether a quick 15-minute break, or a whole hour to yourself. SUPPLIES ■ Watercolor paints The simple eight-color palette made for kids work just fine. If you don't have watercolors, markers or even colored pencils can work too. ■ White paper Thicker is better but any paper will work. I like to cut 8-1/2"x11" paper into smaller pieces. It makes it less intimidating to get started if you have a smaller page to fill. ■ A piece of cardboard, posterboard, mat board, cardstock or foam core Something nice and stiff that stands up without bending or curling. ■ Scissors ■ Paint brush ■ Glue stick ■ Water cup ■ Paper towels ■ Newspaper to protect your work surface
