Art Making
Many Art Therapists end up disconnected from their personal art process: this may be the first part of the problem that has led to the field losing its commitment to the Art in Art Therapy. We need to be creative! Feeling like an artist is a primary part of identifying as an art therapist.
Let's get back on our creative tracks! Below are ideas I have been acting on to keep my art making a regular part of my life:
Invite friends over for an art party.
Make/rent an art studio.
Commit to showing your art at your local coffee shop -then make art to fill the walls.
Keep an art journal you art in most mornings or evenings.
If you are doing one of the above things or have your own ways to engage in artmaking, please share with Occupy AT! Leave a comment. Email artyein@gmail.com an image of art you've made recently and Occupy will post it.
