Social Awareness is an important aspect of socio emotional intelligence. Heightened awareness supports in understanding the perspectives and emotions of others\, including those from diverse backgrounds. We will also discuss the ways that creating a character through collage can help us move through the world around us with a heightened sense of awareness. \nCharacters developed in this workshop will incorporate symbolism and body language to highlight traits we intend to embody in the new year. We will then photograph each character and\, through the photography process\, explore elements of stop motion film making together while co-creating an intergenerational space to process ideas around releasing\, receiving\, stop motion\, and collage making. \nThis program is for all ages. Anyone under 16 years of age should be accompanied by an adult who will also be participating in the workshop. Space is limited and prior registration is required. \nPLEASE NOTE: This workshop has sold out. To receive updates about upcoming workshops at NOMA\, please view our events calendar or join our newsletter mailing list.  \n\nAbout the Workshop Facilitators\nLaVonna Varnado Brown\nLaVonna Varnado-Brown is a resident of the 2024-2025 New Orleans Museum of Art Creative Assembly cohort.
