PSYC-3218: Creative Arts Healing

People have been using expressive arts as tools for expression and healing for centuries. Today, expressive arts are used in therapeutic, rehabilitative, educational, and community settings to foster holistic health, communication, and positive social and cultural healing & change. We will investigate and reflect upon art therapy and expressive arts mediums and directives, and explore how creativity can impact a person’s level of functioning and sense of possibility by allowing emotions to be creatively channeled into the expressive arts for release and transformation. Previous artistic training is not necessary. The focus is on the process of making art and exploring what the art means to the individual, not on the aesthetic outcome.
