2026 is the year to give back to yourself, and there's no better place to start than this free wellness class, brought to you in partnership with UVA Health!

In this class, students will start by painting loose, abstract blobs of color without overthinking it. You'll focus on color, movement, and feeling rather than trying to make something “look right.”

Once the paint is down, you'll use markers or pens to draw over them, turning the blobs into faces, characters, or anything else they see in the forms. The idea is to let the image reveal itself instead of planning it from the beginning!

This class will help you recognize and express your emotions in a low-pressure way. Sometimes feelings start out messy or hard to define, kind of like random paint on a page. By transforming those blobs into something recognizable, you'll practice making sense of what you're feeling and seeing their emotions with curiosity instead of judgment. It’s a playful way to build self-awareness, creativity, and comfort with imperfection!
