For this week Lauren, Gryphon, and I went to Wham and instead of working with Marty, we worked with Connie who is an artists at Wham. Connie had given us a project to do since Marty was preparing for a beginner sculpting class occurring later on in the evening. Our job was to help with a small adaptive art class with only a few children. Lauren, Gryphon, and I cut out different colored hearts from poster boards for the kids to decorate the way they wanted to and to write small thank you messages to the police men and fire fighters. These hearts are going to be given to the police officers and fire fighters the week of Valentines Day. The kids wrote small thank you notes and signed there name so the men and women would know that kids appreciate all that they do.
This is one of the many projects Wham does to give back into the community. By having this project, the kids get to say thank you to the men and women who protect them and get to connect to their local heroes. Not only are the kids connecting to their local heroes, but also to society. Art therapy is used to bring people together and connect to the on going problems and situations occurring in the world. Art therapy helps bring out the people's emotions and interact with society. This project was one of the many ways art therapy is used and how it can create a positive out look.
