We are motivated to bring inspiration and introspection to others by teaching them to honor the process of creating art. We’ve found that creating art can have a healing effect upon the soul and can even lead to startling moments of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment. “Beyond the Box” encompasses taking some of our favorite photos related to a specific event or person and through artistic alteration, collage work, and journaling, creating a piece of interactive art that delves beyond the face value of the images and the work itself. The result is a collage box, which when opened, reveals a string of altered photos, favorite quotes, images and other whimsical pieces attached to the lid. Please see example photos of completed boxes on Hayner’s website - www.troyhayner.org. All supplies will be provided with the exception of three to four copies of students’ favorite photos which should be brought to class. Please make sure they are copies as we will be altering these with paint, glitter, etc.
