Art Therapy (3/4) - Volunteering in a High School Art Room
Channel: Felicia Follum
Date: 23/02/2017

This video is the second in a four part series. In the series I discuss my beliefs about art therapy and the healing power of art. I believe that God uses the arts as a therapeutic way to heal us and others we share art with. 

In the first video I introduce myself and give a brief description of my art teaching experience. I have taught art lessons, workshops, classes and informally. I have taught adults and children with disabilities, troubled youth, as well as in Haiti and Brazil. I currently teach ESL and private art lessons.

In the second video I discuss my experience teaching a young man who refused to communicate or work with me. I briefly touch on how our contradicting religious beliefs were overcome through the arts.

The last three videos I share stories of people I have worked with. These stories include private lessons, one where a young man in residential treatment really began to open up and the other with a girl who has Autism. In the other story I talk about my time spent in the art room of a local high school.

All three of these stories share my passion and belief in the arts as a therapy and a way to break down barriers and communicate, even when there is no common language.
