Blogging! Spread your message.

Blogs are a great way to share information, news, art work, video, pose questions, start dialogue, and promote events.  Art Therapy is not limited to the confines of the client/therapist session.  Check out a great example of an art therapy blog by watching videos, reading posts and browsing pictures of art interventions here:

"Project Girl is BYBA’s after-school program that combines art and media literacy into a unique educational program aimed at encouraging adolescent girls to become more critical consumers of contemporary media advertising and entertainment.

The program gives girls the tools to look at media with smarter eyes, create awesome artwork, hang out with other girls and put what they lean into action! Girls become literate in all media forms so that they control the interpretation of what they see or hear rather than letting the interpretation control them.

Partnering with art therapy students from Naropa University, college, high school and middle school girls all come together to form a rich and powerful community. By bringing the Project Girl curriculum by Kelly Parks Snider into an Open Studio Model, the program becomes a form of art as social action and the creative process of making art becomes a tool for self-expression and activism." - excerpt from the BYBA website
