Enriching Art Classes for Children ages 6-11
It is my passion that children will live in an environment where they
can be their greatest selves, feel unconditionally loved and accepted for who they really
are. Free of judgment, criticism, comparison but educated in love, corrected in a kind and loving way, respected
for who they are; humans in a small body, eager to learn and to enjoy what life offers. It is in this way that children
will become respectful towards their surrounding world. Punishment creates anger and frustration. Rewards
create dependency of others and loss of joy. (Yes, there is quite some research showing that! ).
Fair bounderies are a must. Celebration is an answer. Gratitude and focus on blessings are helpful
tools for a happy, fulfilled live. Aren't we all yearning for a kind, joyful and nicer world?

In
a non-competitive and non-judgmental calm and relaxing environment, children learn to draw crystals, mandala’s, organic shapes, and make forms out of clay.
While listening to soft background music like Mozart or nature sounds, the brainwave
activity slows down, (alpha-waves), and it is at this level of the energy field where we are the most open to create.
The facilitator Carla Van Walsum Ph.D c LSHC
makes use of specific positive affirmations accompanying certain exercises,
which are a helpful tool in changing negative thinking patterns, releasing stress, anxieties, fears, hyperactivity and other issues.
The results develop awareness of
free forms, shapes and color and often improve focus and a relaxed attitude.
Mirror-exercises and working with
both hands contribute to a better balance between the right and left brained parts.
These classes combine European art techniques and organic shapes from
India. They stimulate the integration of the cognitive, social and emotional intelligence.
Research (Shaw, Xiaodan, Rauschner, California) showed 10-34% cognitive improvement after a period of combined, intuitive art.

Testimonials:
“Amazing, when Carla entered the classroom in the Montessorischool for her
drawinglessons, in 5 minutes the class became very quiet, and was deeply involved, peacefully at work. All the children loved
the process and the results.” Diana Noffki, Teacher

became helpful as a means to express his sadness and allowing himself to be more open and in touch with his feelings.” Marcel de Jong, Rotterdam
“My 8 year old son Jerry, diagnosed with ADD has improved so much with his
motoric skills, that his progress was obvious in his school grades. He LOVED to do the variety of exercises, and he is more
