Emotional support and counselling is something not all students have access to in their schools or homes. Students of all ages can have stress and trauma affecting them, with no outlet or safe space to express themselves. As art teachers, we can help give students more emotional support through our art lessons. Has there been a time when you found art therapeutic? What kinds of assignments can we give students in our everyday art classes to act as art therapy, or even create a kind, understanding environment for them to communicate their feelings effectively?
