Final: Art Session

For my mock therapy session, I wanted to begin how we began in class with a very simple directive asking the client (my friend) to draw a bubble letter of their name and draw inside of it. After 20 minutes of my friend really delving into the creation of their letter we began to discuss what came up in the process. They were anxious at first as to how it should be done. Should the letter be bigger or smaller? What should i be making inside? As he focused for a while he began to create a path of change and growth within his life. He included letters than described his passion for accounting and how that was a huge part of his life right now. As he began to explain the accounting terminology which was very confusing and something I could not comprehend, I saw the passion and chunk of what made him who he is through studying something that he loves. He also wrote Good Vibes at the bottom because without those vibes he could not get through the vast experiences that were going on in his life. He felt very focused on the artwork and it was out of his comfort zone to draw because he hadn't done that since elementary school. He felt good about his drawing and wanted to keep it.

  1. I also felt that this art exercise was the best to use; I did it with my friend for my final art session. I feel that it is a relaxed and easy art exercise for clients especially on the first time. I enjoyed this exercise in class as well.
