The Psychology of Art

Workshop for grades 10th through Adult

This workshop will focus on the intersection of Art and Psychology. Participants will create their own version of a multi-colored Rorschach Test using drip-painting techniques, and highlight representational or evocative patterns that develop. We will discuss the connection between creativity and mental illness, the history and methods of expression through “Action” or drip-painting, and how these activities correlate to our own sense of creativity. This is an excellent team-building exercise that will encourage innovative thought patterns and problem-solving approaches.
