Course Description:
Do you want to incorporate more art making into your clinical practice but can’t figure out how to structure the art making so that it stays on-task and doesn’t devolve into “coloring”? Learning how to assign verbal and non-verbal directives to clinical art making can provide the structure and containment necessary to inspire creativity, allow your client (or group) to go “deep”, while also remaining connected to your clinical goals. This course will provide an opportunity to thoughtfully plan out the types of art materials to offer, the instructions that you give along with them and the time you allow for art making with ample clinical material offered to illustrate successful and less than successful art directives. Students will learn to contemplate the following when designing a directive to meet the clinical needs of a client or group: openness versus structure, 2D versus 3D, small versus large, processed versus unprocessed and containment versus expression. Participants will also learn basic assessment of their clients artistic needs based on the Expressive Therapies Continuum.
Learning Objectives Include:
Identify five (5) art making categories on which to develop art directives (structure, space, size, meaning and openness) and identify how they align with various clinical goals.
Identify the four (4) levels of artistic expression on the Expressive Therapies Continuum and the types of directives that complement each level of functioning.
