Easing first week jitters by creating "calming doodles". We listened to relaxing music and practiced freestyle, curvy lines... then we filled in the shapes with color and pattern. Perfect way to start the year 🌈

While I clearly am a lover of the arts, I have also always had a passion for mathematics & that more structured way of thinking. This style of artmaking brings those two together, & if you’re like me, you’ll find it truly satisfying. #pinevalleyspecials https://t.co/8CvNuTpL4P
