Art History Meets Art Therapy: Lecture & Open Studio Art Experience
Artist Intent & Process

Futurism: June 6th  (Image: by Umberto Boccioni)
Leader: Beth Ann Short MA, ATR-BC
 
    
Did you ever look at a classic piece of art and wonder what was behind the art and it’s composition?  Art making is a complex process that involves technique/use of materials as well as telling a story with the media.  In art therapy, art therapists use assessment techniques in supporting individuals through the therapeutic process.  These assessment techniques take into consideration many formal points in the art process as well as clinical theory and the individual’s life experiences.
      In the first portion of these interactive lectures participants will journey through multiple periods of art history examining the art and artist’s experience of life, politics/economy of the time, science & technology and also these points of assessment.   Participants will learn about the featured artist’s life, process in creativity and see visual proof of the therapeutic use of art-making in the creator’s life.  In the second half of the workshop, participants will explore the genre making art inspired by those discussed.  Expect rich discussions in this interactive series. This inspiring workshop is designed for adults over the age of 18. 
Cost: $70 per person
Pre-register before May 15th and pay $60
