Overview
Art Therapy: Being Part of Something Bigger
How do you feel about being part of something bigger than yourself? Some people discover this through faith and a connection to God, while others find it in the vast universe, like the skies and the oceans. This can stem from our desires to look outside the borders of self and find well-being, solace, purpose, and inspiration.
Art therapy during Inter-faith Week, aims to bring students with diverse perspectives to use art as a means of self-expression and exploration. Attendees may choose to share their art and discuss what it means to form a personal connection with something greater than themselves, be it through faith, an appreciation of nature, or other pathways.
This one-off therapeutic group session is scheduled for the first day of Inter-faith Week and is for students who are curious about religious belief, faith, the theme, or art therapy in general. All UAL students welcome.
