Ingredient Overview
In this approach, the facilitated learning process is seen as helping to
develop confidence in the process of art-making as well as in terms
of acquiring techniques that facilitate well-being, for example body
scan and the use of playfulness. Clients may be encouraged to make
marks on paper using pastels/felts, writing words, making sounds
and body movements in warm up/check ins, learning to identity
one’s own feelings non-judgementally and to counterbalance emotional states as well as learning how to engage in creative problem solving that enables personal progression.
Examples – Body scans, mindful movement, use of
particular material in art-making, playing
with words and sounds, working in a group
through creative activities, using creativity and
playfulness, identifying one’s own feelings nonjudgementally, counterbalancing emotional
states, engaging in creative problem-solving,
identifying and working towards goals.
