#creative mediums

Hi blog,

I have been very busy and returned to Uni and started my second part time year studying for my Ma in Art therapy. I have a new placement too. Lots off writing to do but also it is time to be creative :-)

The first part of the module is an Experiential Art Therapy. The module aims are to aid developing relationship with our artistic practice. It helps also to understand the art therapy process. I must also consider some artistic influences. I have to keep as well a journal. I will use my blog for this purpose. My journal will serve to inform my end of the year presentation. 

 My aims are:

1. Further engage with image-making as a method of expression and exploration of feeling and meaning.

2. Increase my experience with a range of approaches to art therapy through experiential learning.

3. Further develop a capacity to reflect on my own and other's images within a visual arts context.

4. Expand my understanding of art practice and its relation to contemporary art therapy.

We were given a directive subject to work with, to make an autobiography.

I will have to think about major events from my past life.This will help me to create images which reflects some emotions from my past. The process of thinking about certain events will stir up and unveiled some emotional unconscious feelings  while creating images. My autobiographic images revealed aspect of my life such as loss, illnesses, betrayal, violence, sexuality, vulnerability and raw emotions. I thought about different artists such as Tracey Emin,  Jenny Savill, Dali and J. Pollock and many more artists.
