Celebrate World Drawing Day with "Art at the Center"
"Art at the Center" Celebrates World Drawing Day
~ Reposted from the "Art at the Center's" NewsletterWe will have a variety of drawing activities at the studio on June 5 from 1 to 2:30 to celebrate World Drawing Day. Click here to read more about this world wide event and the many forums to post drawings on-line.
If you can't make it to the studio, here are a few ways to celbrate World Drawing Day in your home or community:
Blind Contour Drawing - A great exercies to practice seeing edges, details and lines. This involveds drawing something with a continuous line (a contour) without looking at the paper (it's blind). The idea is for pencil to follow on the paper the path of your eyes looking at what you are drawing. Drawings come out mixed up and comical with portraits looking like characatures.
Scribble Drawing - Scribble on a piece of paper with or without looking, just create random lines. Then go back and turn your paper and look at the lines from many angles looking for images in your drawing. Add lines, colors, details to bring out these images.
Joint Scribble Drawing - Similar to a scribble drawing but work with a partner. One person draws the scribble while the other attempts to follow the lines with a second color. Look together to find and enhance images in your design.
Family Draiwng - Cover your dining room or kitchen table with paper and and draw together - make a plan or just see what emerges as you work together to cover the paper with lines, shapes, and colors.
Draw from the Inside Out - Often we focus on outlines when beginning a drawing, this technique encourages beginning with the detials. Choose an object to draw (things from nature work well, a flower or a pine cone) and begin by drawing a detail in the center; build your drawing out from this beginning.

Green Paper: Art Therapy in the 21st Century
be part of a national conversation on the future of art therapy! Earlier this spring, as part of their 50th anniversary “Green Papers” initiative, Americans for the Arts asked us to write a short paper on the future of art therapy. The paper has been posted on the ArtsUSA blog and our Green Paper ambassador – art therapist and AATA member Michelle Dean – has begun blogging about art therapy, using our paper Art Therapy in the 21st Century as the starting point for an exchange of ideas and thoughts. Michelle will be collecting and synthesizing comments and themes that arise from the online discussions until the end of the year and will then post the new document that emerges, reflecting the changes and ideas that have been shared. So check out the Green Paper and Michelle’s blog and join the conversation.Link to the Green Paper

Project Girl: Media Literacy & Empowerment
Several Naropa art therapy students fulfilled their 2009-2010 practicum experience or civic engagement requirement in the Community Art Studio in conjunction with the Boulder Youth Body Alliance. Boulder Youth Body Alliance (BYBA) empowers youth to reclaim a positive body image. Through a variety of grassroots projects and activities, teens take action, reclaim their voices, and make a positive difference in their communities. BYBA peer educators and activists learn how to stop trying to change their bodies and work to change the world instead.
A variation of a national program called Project Girl was offered to middle school and high school girls in Boulder County. Project Girl (PG) is an 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 purpose of PG is to help girls become literate in all media forms—TV, internet, movies, magazines, newspapers, billboards, books, product labels, and music—so that they control the interpretation of what they see or hear rather than letting the interpretation control them.

iMovie as an Art Therapy Tool with Children
In the fall semester of the second year of the Naropa art therapy program, students take a child and adolescent populations course. Through readings, discussion, practice sessions with children, experiential exercises and assignments, students focus on understanding development, art assessment, approaches to treatment and the practice of art therapy with a variety of child and adolescent populations.
Each student is paired with one child, ages ranging from 4-12, for a practicum art therapy experience. In the Fall of 2009, Donica Snyder (pictured right) created a six session art therapy treatment plan that encouraged her child client to write his own myth, manifest his own characters and setting using art materials, and use photography and iMovie to put it all together in a stop-animation short. Check out the amazing project that was created over the course of six sessions! A great example of technology as a tool in the art studio.

Women in the Arts Documentary
In a predominantly female field, sometimes it is nice to hear the voices of other women. The documentary Who Does She Think She Is? follows the lives of 5 women who are maintaining a relationship between motherhood and art making. Our program is full of mothers-to-be, new mothers, and experienced mothering extraordinaires (we have some great fathers too) who are attempting to juggle their commitment to the field of art therapy, their own artist identities, and their educational and professional goals. This film is a wonderful look at expectations and conflicts that may arise in the lives of women when they attempt to "have it all." For more information about the film, watch the trailer below or visit whodoesshethinksheis.net.Art by Ft. Carson Soldiers on Display
A new exhibit called 'Conflict|Resolution', will run through June 20 at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center (just a car ride away from Boulder). The display features artwork produced by soldiers in an 11 week art therapy Creative Expressions workshop. To read more about the program and the current exhibition visit this article or visit http://www.csfineartscenter.org/

A Chance to Give Back
Through a blog I follow for creative inspiration, Mon Petit Poppet, I discovered a big-hearted sewing activity that began with another blogger, Dance for Cheese. The directive is to sew a reversible pinafore for little girls and/or plain elastic-waist cotton shorts for little boys who live at the Dago Dala Hera Orphanage in Kenya.
Knowing that many of the art therapy students at Naropa sew... I thought this would be a great activity to use our creative talents that will be life enhancing indeed!
The fabric shop that started this activity is located in Melbourne, Australia. A young Melbourne woman spent time volunteering at the orphanage this past Christmas. She was struck that the children there did not have adequate clothing and that the orphanage did not have enough funds to supply any. Her mother works at the fabric shop and she and her co-workers began making the reversible pinafores which the orphanage had requested upon contact. Soon customers noticed the pinafores in the back of the store and they too joined in. Through the wonderful world of blogging... the news has spread. And now I pass it on to you.
Want to be involved? All you need to do is make a girl's reversible pinafore and/or boy's elastic-waist cotton shorts that are ready to be shipped by June 4, 2010. They are collecting these items for children of many ages - so you can make them in the child's size of your choosing! I would be willing to gather the items made and send them off in one package. I will also find out the address of the Melbourne blogger, who has offered to have items shipped to her so that she can drop them off a the store, and I can share that with anyone who contacts me (annicejohnson@gmail.com) to send their pinafores and/or shorts.

Student Testimonial:Taylor
For my practicum I co-facilitated a multi-generational group of women, with classmate Chelsea O'Neil, who strove to empower themselves against the debilitating effects of mass media advertising. This unique peer-based initiative was unique in its use of art to increase positive body image, self- awareness, self-confidence, and relational bonds. Every week about seventeen women met in a community based studio setting to engage in arts-based directives, thoughtful discussion, and deconstruction of truths espoused by the media.
While I knew that looking at magazines often left me feeling badly about myself, it wasn’t until I began co-facilitating this group that I realized I carried a degree of responsibility for allowing media content to decrease my self-esteem. Through leading this group I gained a more expansive awareness, which served to lessen the media’s impact on on my self-sense. I began to notice the subtle tricks used by advertisers to manipulate my self-doubt. I found myself browsing through magazines in check-out lines having “Aha!” moments. I wanted to tell the woman in line next to me why women are held to an impossible ideal of beauty – but of course, it makes us want to buy everything! The time to share these “Aha!” moments was in the studio.
We laughed, cried, got angry, made art, sang, danced, posed, and made fools of ourselves. Slowly we began to reclaim the tools that would strengthen us, the very tools that the media went to great lengths to obscure – our connections to one another and more importantly, our connections to ourselves.

Naropa Students to Present at 2010 AATA Conference
Four Naropa art therapy graduate students have been selected to present two presentations at the 2010 American Art Therapy Association (AATA) Conference in Sacramento, California. Here are a couple of short blurbs about the presentations:
Laptops & Twitter & Blogs, Oh My!
Chelsea O'Neil & Donica Snyder
Can we responsibly integrate technology into the practice of art therapy without jeopardizing the therapeutic alliance? We think so. An overview of both sides of the technology debate will be presented as well as examples of technology being used to build relationship in therapy and within a larger community context.
Art Therapy on the Home Front:
Coping with Military Deployment of a Parent
Beth Fisher, Annice Johnson, & Chelsea O'Neil
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have brought about unprecedented cycles of deployment. The increasing frequency of these cycles has resulted in raised stress levels for military families. This presentation will identify the implications of military deployment on the psychological development and mental health of children within military families.
We'll see you in Sacramento!
Art Therapy's Contribution to the Children's Mental Health Awarness Day
May is Mental Health Month and this year National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day was celebrated on May 6. Communities across the country observed the day with events and social networking campaigns to raise awareness about the importance of mental health to the emotional, physical, and social development of children.
For the first time, the American Art Therapy Association collaborated with the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to celebrate Awareness Day through a nationwide Art Action. Using the theme My Feelings are a Work of Art, communities across the country lead young children in arts activities to initiate conversations between adults and young children about having and expressing feelings.
Deborah Bunkley, PATA President gave one of the speeches at this wonderful event!

PhD Student Posts Interesting Quote
Recently, a PhD student who is very interested in neuroscience and hopes to include the latest findings in their upcoming dissertation sent out this message to art therapists:
"Apologies if this is "old" info but too nice not to pass along,
'Infant research supports the use of nonverbal intersubjective therapies, such as music therapy, movement or dance therapy, drama therapy, pictorial art therapy, and body psychotherapy because these approaches accept that we are all equipped with a sensitivity for movement and qualities in movement, not only in our bodies but in the bodies of others we touch, see, and hear. Moreover, 'art therapies' have the benefit of accepting the assumption that we are story-making creatures, and that our own autobiography, and its main supporting characters, is the story that affects us most deeply'
Trevarthen, C. (2009). The functions of emotion in infancy. In D. Fosha, D. Siegel, M. F. Solomon (Eds.). The Healing Power of Emotion, (pp. 55-85). New York: W. W. Norton."
