PRJHS Visual Art learners were introduced to the inspiring art form Neurographic Art — a creative practice that engages both aesthetic and emotional intelligence. This unique art style is known to ignite positive changes in reality while promoting clarity, calm, and self-expression.
Neurographic Art has been shown to support individuals experiencing chronic pain, restlessness, and anxiety, helping to foster a sense of peace and emotional balance.
Mrs. McColl chose this powerful art form as an ideal way to engage our new young artists as they begin Visual Arts in Semester 2, setting a thoughtful and creative foundation for their artistic journey.
✨ Creativity meets wellbeing at PRJHS! ✨
