This course will focus on using art materials and the creative process to help people explore emotions, build self-esteem, reduce anxiety, develop coping skills, and connect with themselves. By using creative techniques such as painting, drawing, sculpture and writing with your participants, they can better express themselves to foster healing and mental well-being. When creating art, people are able to focus on their own perceptions and imagination to gain personal insight and develop new ways of coping with life’s stressors. No special talent or artistic ability is required, and the creative process is beneficial for people of all ages. 

Course Objectives:

  • Understand the goals of using art and writing to express oneself
  • Experience the creative process to promote healing, creativity, and wellness
  • Discuss evidence-based research showing the arts promote mental health
  • Choose art directives to guide participants through multiple activities for self-expression
  • Explain the importance of reflection after making art
  • Plan applicable prompts for reflection to guide participants as they share their art 

Note: Please have a few pieces of paper on hand as well as a pencil and something to color with in order to fully participate in this workshop
