Title

Beyond Mad, Sad, Glad: Using Art to Build Emotional Granularity

Format

Workshop

First Presenter's Institution

Crosswalk USA & ARTreach 180

Location

Pre-Conference Workshop (Scarbrough 1)

Brief Program Description

The ability to identify and articulate specific emotions helps us make sense of and respond to emotional experiences, but when all we know is angry, sad, or happy, the result is often an impulsive reaction that does little to process the experience in a healthy way. In this high-energy, interactive session, we will explore how visual art can help adolescents become more emotionally aware so they can “name it to tame it.” Participants will leave with their own artistic creations and some new creative tools for building community in their own programs. Come ready to engage and get creative!
