Creativity Matters
May 13 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Imagination
May’s Creativity Matters theme is “Imagination.” Together, we’ll explore how imagination fuels our creativity by helping us dream up new ideas, experiment with artistic expression, and see the world through fresh eyes. Whether through painting, writing, movement, or making something entirely unexpected, we’ll tap into the playful and powerful ways imagination sparks creative expression.
Projects of the Month
We will have supplies for Project Options A and C from the monthly Creativity Matters packet* and for a “What if” collage project:
- Put Your Head in the Clouds: Bring your own cloud pictures or pick from our collection. Use your favorite art materials to trace, add details, and color in the shapes or characters your imagination uncovers.
- The Squiggle Game: Created by Donald Winnicott, this exercise invites you to draw a random squiggle and use your imagination and your favorite art supplies to turn it into something meaningful.
- What If Collage: Choose or create a “What if…” prompt to spark your imagination, such as “What if the sky were made of dreams?” Next, explore our materials to craft a collage, adding your own details or drawings to bring your “What if” to life.

What is Creativity Matters?
Our Creativity Matters group helps community members engage in monthly themes and explore spiritual growth through creative expression.
It’s all about allowing our intuition and imagination to guide us, not just our logic and reflective minds. Think of it as making room for your right brain to dance with your left brain.
Creativity Matters is a high school and adult group designed for everyone — no experience or artistic skill is required! Just bring a playful spirit and adventurous attitude.
