presented by Bea Brogi and Laura Cave

• Similarities and differences between

• art therapy and art activities

• “Art therapy” and “arts activities”

• there may be cause confusion

• on what they are

• and how they differ

• from each other

• What they have in common

• is that the child

• works towards

• the creation of artwork and

• it is not intended

• as a product in itself

• Understanding Art Therapy as a creative therapeutic tool within Place. presented by Bea Brogi and Laura Cave

• Art therapy

• Drawing an ‘ugly’ picture

• or destroying a picture

• is in art therapy

• an important

• and valuable expression

• Therefore the artwork

• does not have to be aesthetically pleasing

• or finished to be valuable

• Understanding Art Therapy as a creative therapeutic tool within Place. presented by Bea Brogi and Laura Cave

• Art therapy

• In art therapy

• the therapist acts as a facilitator

• a guide and a witness

• to help the child

• to understand feelings and needs

• Art in this context is the means to self-discovery

• and the link between

• the child and the therapist

• The art materials chosen

• and the way feelings are expressed

• are important aspects

• of the creative process

• Understanding Art Therapy as a creative therapeutic tool within Place.presented by Bea Brogi and Laura Cave

• Art therapy

• Artwork in art therapy provides

• the focus of the communication

• and acts as a vehicle for understanding growth

• and change in the child

• There is an interaction between

• the child and the therapist

• in which they work together

• to understand the art process

• and product of the session

• This is the so-called “triangular relationship”

• between the therapist

• the child and the artwork

• Understanding Art Therapy as a creative therapeutic tool within Place.presented by Bea Brogi and Laura Cave

• The creative process

• The reason why I have chosen

• to train and work

• as an art therapist

• is that I highly value

• the creative process

• I personally believe that

• creativity is something that

• everyone has within themselves

• yet the process

• and results

• are different

• for different people

• Understanding Art Therapy as a creative therapeutic tool within Place2Be presented by Bea Brogi and Laura Cave

• The creative process

• Anyone

• can potentially embark

• on a creative process

• and a creative process

• does not have to

• result in an aesthetic or finished product

• One can’t “teach” creativity

• in the sense of “teaching”

• maths, science or humanities classes,

• but one can assist and guide people

• to get in touch

• with their inherent creativity

• Understanding Art Therapy as a creative therapeutic tool within Place.presented by Bea Brogi and Laura Cave

• The creative process

• As an art therapist

• I have faith in the arts

• as having an important healing role

• to play within therapy

• However for art making

• to be a form of therapy

• it needs to be contextually located

• within a witnessed and supportive environment

• like the one provided

• by Place2be

• Understanding Art Therapy as a creative therapeutic tool within Place2Be

• presented by Bea Brogi and Laura Cave
