The First Painting Workshop by Halyna Sernivka

The first workshop took place on March 17, 2023, in Kyiv under the attentive guidance of Halyna, who is not only the director of our Foundation and a veteran but also a talented artist.

The project aims to facilitate participants' cultural-social reintegration and psychological rehabilitation through art, creating a creative environment for veterans, their families, and volunteers. It helps uncover new abilities or improve existing skills, instilling a sense of self-belief, surprising oneself and others, spending quality time, and expanding interests and connections.

The project also aims to promote a positive image of veterans as creative and well-rounded individuals.

Duration: 2 - 2.5 hours.

Location: Kyiv.

Number of participants: up to 10 people.

Target audience: veterans and their family members, volunteers.

Artist: Halyna Sernivka - a painter who will share her painting techniques under a teacher's guidance.

As a result of the workshop, each participant will create their painting on canvas using oil paints under the clear guidance of the artist. Participants will be provided with all the necessary materials and will receive feedback from the expert.

During the workshop, we will discuss oil paints and art in general, the mistakes and fears in initial attempts, and the nuances of perceiving works of art through personal experience. And during the coffee breaks, we will talk about life and experiences and share news and concerns...

At the end of the workshop, we will hold an exhibition of the works and take photographs. After that, the artworks will remain in the office for drying and display to visitors for a month. Afterward, the art pieces will be sent to each participant by mail, or they can personally collect them.
