Throughout the 2017
Spring Semester SKSS art students have been investigating aspects of Mental
Health, Mental Illness and Mental Wellness.
Beginning with a
meaningful experience in art therapy, over 100 SKSS art students participated
in activities
lead by professional art therapist Wendy Gruneberg.
Student artists then moved to a personal process in artistic research
and dialogues surrounding multiple aspects of Mental Health and Mental Wellness. We are excited to share their personal and
thoughtful visual interpretations as social comments on these important themes.
Please join us in
a celebration of learning as students share the diverse complexities of mental
illness and coping strategies of mental wellness through visual art.
