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!
