I just have a few questions.
Ok so the main point of being a Art/Writing Therapist is ...... when you talk to teenagers, children or adults about their problems in their life and you help them by writing and create art
like for example when a regular teenage girl name Carly's life is not going so well
- her boyfriend dump her
- making bad mistakes in her life (like smoking, or getting suspended from school, etc.)
and she's very upset
her parents makes a appointment for art/writing therapy
then pretend I was the art/writing therapist
so when she comes in she explains to me about her problems in her life and then I assign her to draw pictures that come to her mind when she's upset and create journal entries about her life everyday
then I give her advice blah blah
then she comes back about a week or so and then says thanks blah blah .... i moved on from my boyfriend and try to make good decides next time blah blah blah
is it something like that?
also
when being an art therapist does it involved writing, dance, music, and other fines arts
Yes, it's something like that.
Art therapists may use some or all of these arts.
wow .... thanks ms. sue
i think that will be a better career for me
i love helping people tho and giving people's advice
and i love art and writing
im going to study art, writing, pyscology, and socialogy in college
also while they are sad i can also recommed them to read a book that i read or an activity that will get their mind off of something
You're welcome. :-)
Yes, you have captured the main essence of being an art/writing therapist. As an art/writing therapist, your main role is to help individuals, including teenagers, children, and adults, explore and express their emotions, thoughts, and experiences through creative means such as art and writing.
In the example you provided, when Carly seeks art/writing therapy, you would encourage her to draw pictures that reflect her emotions and experiences when she is feeling upset. Additionally, you would assign her to create journal entries to document her thoughts and reflections on her life.
These creative processes can help Carly gain a deeper understanding of her emotions and experiences, as well as serve as a form of therapeutic release. Through the art and writing exercises, you can then facilitate discussions with Carly, offering guidance, advice, and support based on your observations and her reflections.
It's important to note that art therapy can go beyond visual art and writing. It can involve different forms of creative expression, including dance, music, and other fine arts. The choice of creative modality depends on the individual's preferences and therapeutic goals.
Overall, being an art/writing therapist involves creating a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their emotions, express themselves creatively, and work towards personal growth and healing.
