We want to start out our art class fresh and focused. Not stressed from all the troubles that are buzzing abound in our busy little heads. This rug will give us a place to meet as a class at the beginning of each lesson to practice some mindful meditation techniques. A few big belly breaths will help to clear out the gloomy thoughts, the grumpy grumbles, and the sad sighs. So that we can focus on our best selves and our best work. During the lesson if those overwhelming thoughts creep back into our minds, the bean bag chairs can be used as a chill out zone for self paced mindfulness practice.
