We worked with the students every Tuesday afternoon for 75 minutes. The students were \"invited\" by the school counselor and school based therapist. We picked these students because we thought they would benefit from using art as a vehicle to express themselves in a group setting. We explored specific therapy strategies to start each group, and then we looped in the art in to apply the skills. \r\n You can see, in the pictures, that we did \"liquid watercolors\" with rock salts to apply our lesson on radical acceptance. The students had to accept things that they could not control (in the lesson) and then apply that to the specific type of painting we incorporated. To wrap things up, we focused on gratitude and what we love about ourselves, our close circle, and our broader community. What you see in some of the pictures is our students handing out hand made cards/ art work/ stickers to our community members. It was the coolest culminating lesson!!!! The students loved it, and every community member that we were able to come into contact with was overjoyed. With the current state of our world, it is easy to overlook the good things, and this project allowed us to spread joy and optimism in a time when many need it.\r\nThank you so much!!!!\r\nMs. Tennant","fullyFundedDate":1763615258698,"projectUrl":"project/art-therapy-for-high-school-students-in/9632634/","projectTitle":"Art Therapy for High School Students in an Alternative Setting","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tennant","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9111591_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694058892369","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9111591"},{"teacherId":9494193,"projectId":9789121,"letterContent":"This year's Shakespeare Festival week was a success!
