The Problem

I want to introduce art therapy as a form of comfort. I really want to inspire the youth to find their inner most talent through Fine Art painting, sculture, poetry, ceramics, drawing. I want to focus on the freedom that writting poetry as well as lyrics can give individuals. Through painting and writting I feel I can introduce new ideas that can lead to a creative energy that can then be applied to multiple areas in life. I myself was previously an at risk youth and when I turned my stuggles into a creative energy numerous doors began opening up in my life that I never would have dreamed of. I have a fine art background as I am currently a senior at Rocky mountain college of art and design. I have volunteered at school and a few other at risk youth programs. I would like to eventually bring my ideas into the juvinile detention centers of our society.

Plan of Action

I first need to get into contact with certain individuals that will give me the ok on some of my ideas. I feel the most difficult part in this process is finding somebody that will give me a chance to speak. I know that once I get a foot in the door the possibilities are endless. I feel like I need a list of places that will allow art therapy into their current setting. I am thinking this idea would be great for juvinile detention centers, school, places of poverty, drug and alcohol rehab centers, suicide clincs, women shelters etc. I would love to hear more ideas from anybody. So if you can get in contact with me I would love to hear more ideas! I know this can have a positive impact on our community as well as the children living in it! Thank you for your time.
