Description
Experimental group: The investigators will instruct the participants in the experimental group to choose one of five art-making activities, read the simple instructions to guide them in the expressive art-making activity, and begin their expressive art making. In addition, a very simple example will provide to aid the subjects in their expressive art making.
The art-making activities and their instructions are as follows:
_ Mandala Design: Choose a pre-designed mandala and use colored pencils, tempera paints, watercolors, crayons, or markers to complete the design.
_ Painting Free Form: Choose one sheet of white paper and use that paper to create an image from your imagination using tempera or watercolor paints. Upon completion of the initial painting, you can add detailed design work with fine-tip permanent markers, crayons, colored pencils, and/or pastels.
_ Collage Making: Take a white piece of paper and choose precut images and text to design a collage. Use the scissors provided to further cut images before gluing them to the paper surface, or to cut additional images from the provided magazines.
_ Clay: Choose a lump of clay and work it with your hands until it becomes warm and pliable. Then mold the clay into a pleasing form. A pinch pot with etched designs, coil pot, and small animal figurine are examples of clay forms.
_ Drawing: Take a large piece of white paper and choose from the variety of still life objects. Arrange the objects you choose into a pleasing assembly and begin drafting the still life in pencil. When done with your drawing, you can use diluted sepia ink to paint in tonal values to help give the subject form and dimension.
