The Girl Character: symbols and metaphors in #artmaking can be valuable in understanding yourself better (applicable to therapists and clients).. I have a bunch of recurring #archetypal characters that appear in my drawings and I’ve never thought too hard about who or what they are. Now I’m uncovering that through image dialoguing. This is my #dialogue with my #girl #character #time #brisbaneart #archetypes #meaning #creativeprocess #lovinglife #personalsymbols #metaphor
I have a bunch of recurring #archetypal characters and themes that appear in my drawings repeatedly and I’ve never thought too hard about who or what they are. Now I’m uncovering that.

Today’s visit was to Redeemer OSHC and we did some #surrealselfportraits. We discussed how making an image “surreal” included adding anything unexpected and different. We emphasised the importance of silliness in art and #havingago here’s some of the cool ideas 💡 #brisbaneart #artworkshop #surrealism #nonsensical #silly #art #drawing #fun #lovinglife
For my #masters project I’m looking at the importance of understanding your own #visual language as an art therapist, and also how symbols and metaphors in #artmaking can be valuable in understanding yourself better (applicable to therapists and clients).. I have a bunch of recurring #archetypal characters that appear in my drawings and I’ve never thought too hard about who or what they are. Now I’m uncovering that.

Today at Grand Ave OSHC art workshop I showed students a drawing I’m working on at the moment. We chatted about how what we learn in these visits isn’t just how to make “good” art but how to interact with art and ask questions about it. Comments about the artworks i share are always welcome..We practised with this drawing: imagining what is in the box? One student thought diamonds, another thought maybe unicorns. We asked ourselves: how long has the box been there? Should we open it or leave it? Everyone drew their response art to this and it went in lots of wonderful directions 🌈 📦 💎 #mystery #brisbaneart #artworkshop #kidsart #imagination #interactiveart #learning #brisbaneartist #narrativeart
When was the last time you spent time outside? Nature can be super grounding and it’s always good to take some time out to enjoy the outdoors. Going barefoot on some grass or sitting under a lovely tree can be so refreshing 🌳 🍃 #brisbaneart #watercolour #nature #outdoors #trees #quiet #peace #grounding #shade #barefoot
