We are about to host our next set of art therapy sessions at CARAES. Friday is a day for painting!
The morning session will be exploring the use of color to create mood, discovering what certain colors can mean. Participants will learn the simple lesson that "cool" colors recede and "warm" colors come forth.
The afternoon session will be painting to decorate a paper fold-up box, placing a symbol on it to indicate what it could be used to hold.
In practical terms, learning about the use of color in art allows the artist to make a work that can communicate well - which is necessary for producing good graphic designs. Approaching the task of decorating a box with art will also bring the artist closer to the skill of design - for example, how to make sure that the edges of the unfolded box match well when they meet to form the cubic shape.
Pictures will be forthcoming!
