Abstract

This study explores the role creativity plays in personal growth and development and responds to Abraham Maslow's (1963) call for practical techniques that promote health. A literature review and a qualitative survey were conducted to examine possible parallels between creativity, self-actualization, and the three-dimensional art experience. Results of this study revealed a correlation between creating three-dimensional artwork and self-actualizing growth, with the most frequent residual effects being an increased sense of openness and self-acceptance. While the majority of those surveyed felt that this creative realm enhanced their lives, the study revealed that those who were particularly motivated found their life more globally enriched beyond the walls of the art studio.
