Photography as an Art Therapy Workshop

Presented by MetroHealth—Center for Arts in Health & Julia de Burgos Cultural Arts Center

Photography has traditionally been incorporated in art therapy from the perspective of using imagery to stimulate the mind, recall memories, and to tell stories. However, a growing area of photography in art therapy is creating photography to manifest self-expression; to create stories and narratives; to document people, activities, and places in an individuals’ life; and to gain the benefits of the joy one experiences from creating photography and self-expression.

This class will focus on teaching the skills to create photography from the perspective of art therapy and will also touch on the applications and benefits of photography as a form of art therapy.  The objective of the course is to give students enough knowledge to perform--and enjoy--photography beyond the class as that in itself can be therapeutic--and can help tell stories that students want (or need) to express or share.
