Creative expression in process



A CREATIVE EXPRESSION IN PROCESS
The following process is a demonstration of how the use of creative expression is incorporated in the field of Art Therapy for health and well being. Using pastels as the medium and taking the word "Fluid'' (*Illustration Friday) and allowing the space and freedom to explore an image that comes up. Being in the moment to allow self to express the feelings and images onto paper, no artisitc requirements or beliefs of a need to draw.
Other ways to explore this would be after this event of putting an image together is to explore the words that come up and write them down in a journal. Put the words to a poem, or a sentence. Explore a part of the image that stands out.
Give it a try, explore your own awareness through images, take the word "fluid". *Illustration Friday is a website that every week creates a new word from its followers suggestions and images are posted in response. I like to take the word of the week and respond in the above. If a word or an experience comes to you during the week, take it on a creative process. I would be interested to hear about your journey.

Leaves growing from rubbish

kind permission from client - A process using art therapy. First session. Reflects impending grief, losing a loved one to cancer. The image is very personal to the client and holds understanding and awareness only for that person. I do not interpret visual images, I as the counsellor facilitate the process with the participant. If interested in the process of using art therapy in counselling do not hesitate to contact about your situation.
