Art Therapy Activity
Choose a monumental time in your life and chose some colours and use lines to draw a representational or non-representational image to represent the emotions you experienced during that time.

Peter London’s Article
Believes that art education has a flawed foundation.
Suggests new assumptions based on the foundations of art therapy.
Believes, as an art educator, that art is an essential means to a civilized society.
![Page 5: Art Therapy VS. Art Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812e61550346895d94060f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
London’s ArgumentDirect contrast to parallels in art therapyArt should be self-centered before it can be others centered.
Art should be posed as a form of reflection instead of ‘pleasure’.
Civilization is the result of inner balance and not aestheticism.

False Assumptions

Edith Kramer’s Article
Tries to link art therapy and art education by discussing three things:Process VS. Product Oriented theoryUses of praise and rewardsThe role of competition in art
![Page 9: Art Therapy VS. Art Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812e61550346895d94060f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Kramer’s ArgumentThere are many similarities and many differences between art therapy and art education.
As an art therapist, she tends to focus a lot more on the differences, as a result, she had several concerns.
![Page 10: Art Therapy VS. Art Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812e61550346895d94060f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Edith Kramer’s First Concern
If it is assumed that the purpose of art education is to create a product with a specific result in mind, that is demeaning to the profession.
![Page 11: Art Therapy VS. Art Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812e61550346895d94060f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Possible SolutionLook at other ways of applying art to the classroom that focus more on artistic process.

Edith Kramer’s Second Concern
Parents and administration demand easily demonstrable achievements and finished work.
![Page 13: Art Therapy VS. Art Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812e61550346895d94060f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Possible SolutionCompromise with parents and administration.
Educate or explain why a different approach is necessary.

Edith Kramer’s Third Concern
Disturbed children’s preoccupations with inner conflicts frequently make them inaccessible to conventional educative methods.
![Page 15: Art Therapy VS. Art Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812e61550346895d94060f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Possible SolutionMake modified lessons for such students.
Assess process rather than completed works.

Edith Kramer’s Fourth Concern
Art Education does not provide the training necessary for art therapy.
![Page 17: Art Therapy VS. Art Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812e61550346895d94060f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Possible SolutionAttending workshops.Brining in an art therapist to the classroom to do some activities with the students.
![Page 18: Art Therapy VS. Art Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812e61550346895d94060f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Agree or DisagreeWe agree to some extent with both articles; art in the classroom should be process oriented as opposed to product oriented.
![Page 19: Art Therapy VS. Art Education](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812e61550346895d94060f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What’s Missing?London neglects to consider to the fullest extent the differences between art therapy and art education.
The Kramer article lacks a coherent structure; and this detracts greatly from the clarity of her argument.

Practical Implications for
the ClassroomResearch methods and apply them in the classroom
Celebrate any steps in ego-functioning a child makes
Change lesson rationales Change lesson delivery and focus more on process and less on product

Practical Implications of
RewardsIn discussing rewards Kramer says:“It is wise to resort to them mainly as an incentive for performing unpleasant duties or dull routine tasks, but to refrain from using them where it can be reasonably expected that the work itself will be gratifying.”
