Art Therapy Thoughts
I’ve decided to do art therapy sporadically. Art is a way to communicate, and I want to be able to free my mind enough to process whatever it is I need to work through.I honestly think all art is art therapy to some extent. It’s taking what’s internal and making it external. This is something I’ve tried to do my entire life because if I don’t have something in my literal vision, I tend to forget it exists. This includes parts of my personality, memories, things I like and don’t like…so I externalize everything I can. Art allows me to do that, especially now that I feel more capable of drawing what I feel.
When I do my sessions, I grab whatever I want to use and just sit and put marks on paper. I go in with absolutely no expectations and with no idea of what I want to create ahead of time.
Supply Thoughts
I used something besides Shuttle Art Tempura Paint Sticks only once, and that was in Pond Water, and I used Liquitex Acrylic Inks and Bombay India Inks during art therapy session 2.
This third session really solidified that I want to use tempura paint sticks almost exclusively as my art therapy session medium. I even got more brands and colors because I felt the 40 colors I had were lacking. There wasn’t even a neon yellow in the set, even though neon green, pink, and purple are included!
Tempura paint sticks are considered a children’s art supply, which makes sense. They are imprecise, non-toxic, easy to clean up, and dry relatively permanently and quickly and without a huge mess. They are also pretty opaque, which makes them more user-friendly. Makes sense they would help me find a sense of freedom and inspiration.
I also plan to use this medium just in my everyday life. They do a great job of giving me looser, more free marks. I necessarily can’t focus too much on details due to their size and way of application. I think they’ll be beneficial to inspiring more interesting art.
I am also interested in what I could do with other children’s art supplies.
