This week our professor shared with us her clients art work. In the book, Bruce Moon doesn't show many examples and if he does they're very hard to see as black and white copies. I thought looking at these works answered a lot of curiosities. I was curious to see the patients artistic skills as well as learn how these works are evaluated. I think some people would think that a drawing created by a patient would answer the problems but the art is a tool for answering those questions. It was interesting to see work from different types of patients- children/adults/mentally ill. And I like the idea that the art doesn't necessarily have to solve anything. It can just be a positive release for some people.
Next we did an art making activity. We were to trace our hands and create something from those drawings. i overlapped my hand a few times. I colored each section a different colored. I am very annoyed though that I screwed up in the middle with using the wrong color. I would have preferred paint. I am interested to see what further interpretations my teacher can give me.
