About the project
On 28 April, the upcoming art-therapy project "Rehabilitation. Art Therapy" for war-affected mothers and children is starting. The program is initiated and implemented with the support of the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, The Aleksandr Savchuk Foundation, and the Art Support Fund.
The "Rehabilitation. Art-therapy" is an innovative program of art-psychotherapeutic rehabilitation for mothers and children affected by Russian aggression and in need of psychological support. Over the course, participants of the program take part in various workshops in different forms of art, including graphics, painting, ceramics, collage, etc.
The first adult masterclass will take place on Friday, April 28th, led by Nikita Vlasov. During the class, participants will have the opportunity to explore the traditional Chinese brush and ink technique, as well as work with craft and watercolor paper.
No prior experience is required and all the necessary materials will be provided.
Approach
● During the first hour of the session, two artists will work simultaneously with a group of children and mothers. Participants of the program can use different media including graphics, painting, ceramics, collage, etc.
● During the second hour the participants will discuss their feelings and thoughts with professional psychologists. Through a discussion with the psychologists and an insight into what the participants have depicted, they should get relief. Moreover, through a joint activity, they would get carried away when involved in the therapy process.
● After the program is completed, psychologists will write conclusions and prepare a report on the work done.Mission
The "Rehabilitation. Art-therapy" aims to apply artistic practices for direct psychological aid to those affected, as well as to obtain important factual and practical material for the development of effective systems for the rehabilitation of mental traumas obtained during war.
Goals
The project aims to use art therapy and art reflection as a means of psychological assistance under the guidance of professional psychologists to those affected and to provide important factual and practical insights for the development of effective systems for the rehabilitation of psychological trauma caused by the war.
