Jewish Deep Dive (Through Art)

NO FORMAL ART EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!

What does being Jewish mean to you? Do you ever wonder if other people feel the same way you do, are struggling with the same questions as you about how you identify as Jewish?

Art is just another way of having conversation - with yourself and others. In our class, we will use unusual art techniques to learn more about how we identify as Jews, and discussions to develop those ideas further. We will not aim for a finished project; instead, we will be doing a "deep dive" into our Jewish identities.

This series can be taken once, or many times. The structure will stay the same but the ideas get deeper and more developed!
 

• Week 1: Learning "scribble" and "word salad" techniques to unlock our creativity and loosen our inhibitions to discussing serious topics.
• Week 2: Work in pairs to discuss the artwork created between class sessions and develop ideas for continued progress.
• Week 3: Discuss our art projects in progress, collaborate and brainstorm future directions for our work, and support each other as we continue to work after the series ends.
