Friday, December 17, 2010 | First-Year MAAT Students presented artwork from their Materials & Media in Art Therapy Class.
During the Fall 2010 semester, Catherine Moon, MA, ATR-BC created a learning atmosphere for students to examine "the qualities and properties of art materials, media, and processes, and their applications in the context of art therapy. Socially constructed understandings of the significance of materials and media, as well as the relevance of contemporary art practices to art therapy, (were) investigated through lecture, discussion, and experiential formats."
