Term 4 Art Therapy Groups are underway!

When I asked the students what they thought Art Therapy was, a wonderful year 2 student stated "Creating art that can help you." What a perfect description!

We discussed how these art therapy groups provide students with a chance to express how they are feeling through their artwork.

Last week we did 'emotional landscapes' where students chose an emotion and painted/drew what it would look like to them. Students then popped their artwork into a 'gallery' (see the pictures) and each student chose a peer's artwork to talk about. Here they expressed what they could SEE in the picture including what colours were used and what was painted. They then guessed what the emotion was. 

All of the students did an amazing job! I am looking forward to our next session together.
