Art Therapy
Art can be whatever it manifests itself
to be; what is paramount is what we give value to. Engaging in a creative process, using painting,
drawing, and sculpture can be perceived as an immense force of transformative action. "From
its first appearance on the earth the human race has used it creative energies to survive and prosper. The
act of creation has documented the human situation from the cave people to the present - expressing
loss, filling voids, coping with confusion, concretizing abstract religious and mystical beliefs
and providing support for self-awareness and actualization allowing us to rise above any other life
form in existence."
(Jean Winslow)
The arts enable you to work with material
and the creative process to engage in imagination functioning as the :"phenomenon of the
third" which explores creative and healing transformation. The arts will take you
on a journey to explore love, sadness, joy, fear, despair, confusion, rage, isolation, elation,
and creativity.
The process will provide a means for
you to discover both the self and the world, and how you relate, the two. Art therapy uses
various art materials, such as pint, clay, crayons, oil sticks, fabric, magazines, and paper
to create and explore imagery using visual form.
