Below is a workshop lead by my supervisor who is an Expressive Art Therapist. If you'd like to go and get a glimpse into Expressive Arts-Multi Modalities, shes reduced the price for NYU students to $22.50.. a steal
Take Care everyone,

The expressive arts foster a deep creative exploration in all the arts modalities, paying special attention to developing heightened sensitivity in an artistic process. In a deeply respectful space, this work focuses on imaginative play, allowing for freedom to explore your curiosity without judgment.

NYC EXPRESSIVE ARTS STUDIO
LIVING LINES:
A WORKSHOP IN THE EXPRESSIVE ARTS If we look at the world around us, we see lines everywhere -- in architecture, in nature and in our bodies. It seems the world is structured through line. How can we work with the theme of lines to help create bridges from the world around to the world within? Can we create lines that express grief, confusion, tenderness and celebration, and then bring them into relationship with another? Working with the theme of creating lines, we will delve into the visual arts, creating layers upon layers of expressive line on the page. Then we bring lines into 3 dimensional space as dances emerge from the artwork. In closing, poetic lines bring the experience into yet another form, expressive words. Please join us!

Saturday, March 31 2-6pm
Workshop Fee: --$22.50 for NYU students or $45 for non students--

nycEAS is located in Redhook, Brooklyn, NY

If you have ever been put on the spot to explain art therapy you probably sounded something like this...

Even the pros trip over "their words."

Congratulations!

Congratulations to all the 2nd years who turned in the first draft (final draft?) of their thesis!

Three Cheers...

All Things Male

The most recent American Art Therapy Association Journal (Vol 24) features special topics for men in art therapy. Articles included in the journal are written from the male art therapist perspective - rare in this field. With four male students in our class though the tides might be slowly changing.
Heather has an extra copy of the journal if anyone would like to borrow.
