Download or read book Art Therapy Activities for All Ages written by Joan Stewart and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-04-18 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of Art Therapy is to create an oasis of time to allow the brain and body to relax, recharge, and rejuvenate itself, while exploring the creative process of manipulating design elements such as line, shape, form, space, texture, tone, and color. Art Therapy can help people express themselves more freely, improve their mental health, and improve interpersonal relationships. The basis of Art Therapy is established on the idea that people can recover and feel better via artistic expression. There is increasing evidence in rehabilitation medicine and the field of neuroscience that art enhances brain function by impacting brain wave patterns, emotions and the nervous system. Art can also raise serotonin levels. These benefits don’t just come from making art, they also occur by experiencing art. As an Art Facilitator, I have thoroughly tested all the activities in this book over many years and with a variety of people. Many activities are structured to encourage team work, problem solving and communication as well as individual creativity in a relaxed, social environment. I was always surprised and impressed at the results. While each activity focuses on one of the main categories (brain, senses, memory, teamwork and loss) all of them involve a number of skills. The results can be different with each new group and even when presented to the same group again.

Download or read book Art Therapy Activities written by Pamela J. Stack and published by Charles C. Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This elementary school art education workbook presents activities and lesson plans that encourage, stimulate and facilitate creative expression. The author shows how to use art in a more meaningful way than usual in the elementary school setting. Rejecting the product-oriented approach, she details instead a method that helps the child explore who he or she really is, to accept that person, and to change and grow. While the book is light-hearted - not at all the ponderous tome its purpose may suggest - it does indeed show how to promote therapeutic expression and how to use art to deal with problems and meet psychological needs. The activities are geared toward these ends. Divided into three sections, they focus on awareness of self, others and the environment; acceptance; and experimentation and exploration. The lesson plans provided within these sections have been tested and proven successful. They provide information on materials and tools, procedures, directions, goals, target populations, evaluation, resources and notes. A final section contains miscellaneous materials valuable in conducting group art therapy sessions.
