Art therapy: relieving tension

A meeting of the «Family+» club was held in the State Educational Institution «Glussky district socio-pedagogical center» on 20.04.2022. Within the framework of the club, teacher-psychologist N.L. Morozova conducted a lesson with elements of training on the topic «Art therapy. Relieving the tension».

It is known that sometimes it is quite difficult to formulate a psychological problem that has arisen. A person can feel anxiety, worry, excitement, but it is difficult to understand why it happens. Sometimes emotions are so overwhelmed and it doesn’t make it possible to think clearly. In such cases art therapy comes to the rescue.

Exercises pointed at recovery to mental state, relieving tiredness, as well as discovery of creative potential were conducted with parents. The participants of the meeting plunged into the creative atmosphere with pleasure, decorating geometric compositions and plots with patterns.

To develop the ability of constructive interaction, substitute parents were offered the exercise «Pair drawing», during which, after talking with a partner, using lines, shapes and colors, it was necessary to create a joint picture.

At the end of the lesson, the exercise «Zendoodle» was conducted to get rid of stress and negative emotions. Methodical, unhurried drawing in the style of zendoodle helped to dive deep into yourself and concentrate on the positive.

At the end of the event, substitute parents shared their impressions of the meeting, and also expressed their opinion on the effectiveness of using some elements of art therapy in work with children.
