Mr. Yates was one of the participants at our first Get Creative with TAPH on February 22. He has been apart of The Art Project, Houston since October 2013. We invited him to write a reflection about his experience with The Art Project, Houston and Get Creative with TAPH.
Here is his reflection...
Saturday, the 22nd of February 2014, I was fortunate enough to attend 2 classes of The Art Project at St. John's Church Downtown from 10am until 2pm. These workshops were taught by 2 brilliant local creative artist. This experience opened my mind up to the reality that there are numerous things in this life I can attempt to learn. If no more than the principles or theories of how things operate. (How did they do that.)
The participating hands on in the creative work process show me that if, I focused my mental abilities in a structured and controlled environment my potential is unlimited. There is always a different angle to look at what you are going through. I learned that God is healing me and it is a process.
The Art Project has been a stabilizing factor in my life. I am coming out of homelessness. These workshops have allowed me to maintain my sanity through its various creative projects. This was exactly what I needed at this stage in my life.
The Art Project and St. John's Church has exposed my mind to a whole new world out there.
