Abstract
art communicating the experience. Students used various art forms including drawings of personal grief and loss to written words and letters expressing emotions. A number of art supplies were provided including paint, markers, crayons, ribbons, buttons, glue, glitter, and magazine clippings. Both activities created a nonverbal means for students to understand and deal with their feelings and anxieties. By engaging in art-making activities, students participated in their own healing, using the language of their own mind. Attitudes were guided from within, rather than imposed or influenced by another. Following each activity, students were encouraged to share their feelings about their art in small groups. Faculty created a safe and caring environment; therefore, students were comfortable sharing their work reflecting personal experiences, emotions, and meaning. With the completion of each activity, students were guided through a debriefing session led by faculty and the certified art therapist.
