Self-expression is a way
of communicating your unique personality. Art, dance, music, or writing are
ways to practice self-expression that allow individuals to creatively share their voices. Youth and young
adults can improve their social life by expressing themselves through art and
self-reflection.

Wrap-Up: Spring Art Projects
The Baddour Center is a Mississippi community center that assists those with disabilities. They've published a blog post about all-inclusive unique art projects.
The materials are based on everyday home items, or they can be bought at a crafts store for less than $5 at the very most. If you decide to make any of these yourself, let us know in the comments!
What do you think of self-expression? Do you like to make art yourself? For youth and young adults, ages 13-26, join us on
the SPAN Youth Chat on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:00 PM.
