Making Art 4 Resilient Hearts: Learning Emotional Resilience Through Art

In this play-based workshop, kids ages 4-7 will be invited to explore complex emotions like grief through creative movement, poetry, and art-making.  

 With an art-making activity that encourages kids to develop their emotional vocabulary around feeling sad and saying goodbye, and a creative movement experience that uses music and the book Everywhere, Still as a guide for building connection, kids will have the opportunity to develop emotional strength and resilience through imaginative exploration and play. 

 The workshop will take place in Bigelow Chapel at Mount Auburn Cemetery located at 580 Mt. Auburn St. in Cambridge. It will be led by Mount Auburn Cemetery Artists-in-Residence Lonnie Stanton and Fatima Seck.

 Everywhere, Still written by M. H. Clark and illustrated by Claire Sahara Lemp, is a book about loss, grief, and the way love continues. “Following a young girl on her own journey through loss, Everywhere, Still offers children the language to express difficult emotions they may be experiencing. Read the book to a child when a grandparent or loved one has passed, a parent is living or serving abroad, a dear friend has moved away, or a pet is very much missed.”
