FEEDBACK FROM TRAINING PARTICIPANTS
MEET OUR VALUED BUSINESS PARTNER
Meet our business partner, Lindsay Handrickan (Master of Arts in Art Education, Bachelor of Fine Arts). We have been present when Lindsay, an art specialist and educator with counselling experience, has facilitated her Art Wellbeing Program . Check out some of her photos in the video below. The objective of Lindsay's program is not so much the art products themselves but the process of creating them. Using therapeutic art strategies, and without losing focus on how much fun can be had, participants learn to: discuss, explore and compare a range of emotions communicated through artwork; interpret behaviour-related feelings through story; communicate emotional meaning behind artistic projects; utilise tactile tasks for therapeutic purposes; and articulate their understanding of personal emotions.
