The first session of a 10-week art therapy workshop will begin 9-10:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, in 163 Community Arts Building at Wayne State University.
Both children and adults may register for the 90-minute sessions, but new participants must be interviewed individually before beginning the workshop.
Art therapy uses artistic creativity as a healing and life-enhancing process. The workshop's flexibility allows participants to develop personal goals such as self-esteem or personal awareness, as well as social cognitive or other learning skills.
Past participants worked on personal growth, developmental issues, self-expression and stress management.
A reception after the final session April 3 will feature exhibition of art created during the workshop.
Holly Feen of Dearborn, head of the art therapy master's degree program and graduate student adviser, runs the program with other faculty members who are registered art therapists. An art therapist for 19 years, she has directed the program for eight years.
The workshop fee is $25. For more information call Feen at the WSU art education office, (313) 577-1823.
