Minimum Students: 5 / Maximum Students: 12

Let go of perfection and dive into the joyful, expressive world of abstract and non-objective art making. This four-week creative exploration invites adults of all experience levels to play, experiment, and rediscover the magic of making art without expectations.

Each week introduces a fresh medium and process designed to spark curiosity and creative freedom. You’ll explore:

  • Expressive collage using layered textures and intuitive composition
  • Abstract chalk and oil pastels for bold marks and vibrant color play
  • Experimental printmaking techniques that encourage surprise and spontaneity
  • Sculptural paper mâché to create dimensional, imperfectly perfect forms

This class is about exploration over perfection, process over product, and self-expression over rules. Whether you’re completely new to art or returning after years away, you’ll find a supportive space to create, loosen up, and embrace the beauty of imperfection.

Join us for a fun, freeing, and invigorating artistic experience that’s all about discovery.

    Meagan Andersen

    Meagan Andersen is born and raised in Colorado and is so proud to call Evergreen her home! When she was younger, she always loved two things: making art and working with children. She began her higher education on a path to teaching and was on her way to becoming an art teacher when she discovered art therapy. After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from Metropolitan State University of Denver, she went on to receive her Master of Arts Art Therapy from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in Indiana. Meagan is an art therapist as her primary career, co-founding the non-profit Mountain HeArt Therapy, operating out of Evergreen and Denver. But she absolutely loves her art classes here at the center! Having worked with kids for almost three decades, Meagan understands the importance of providing alternative outlets for kids besides athletics and technology and always encourages her students to tap into their imaginations and let their creativity soar! She thoroughly enjoys watching children’s art flourish from an idea to a finished product. Art has the amazing power to release the areas of the mind that have been locked up due to any number of experiences. She truly believes in the inherent healing nature that art provides, and she is thrilled to be able to bring that power to her students outside of a therapeutic setting. Meagan runs many art classes throughout the year for kids and adolescents as well as several summer camps throughout the summer. She resides in Evergreen with her partner, Rodney, and their three incredible children.
