We would like to tell you about an art-therapy class that was conducted by Vika Marushenko, Stephanik University student. According to psychologists, working with clay reveals character and emotions, and helps to express thoughts.
 
 
Out of all types of clay, we picked polymer because this type of clay was least known to kids.  It does not dry and we do not need to add water to work with it. it is similar to play dough. After the work of art is ready, it needs to dry in the oven just like baked goods and it is unusual for the children.  Vika has a lot of experience working with this type of clay, and she explained to the children how they need to work with it.
 
We made bows, and they look beautiful. Creating them brought a lot of joy and positive emotions.
