Hello and welcome to another Words of Wisdom Wednesday post on Orange Spiral Arts.
This year, I have decided that I might try to focus on creativity, the expressive arts, and spirituality.
Most of my books are on these topics because these subjects ignite me, they fill my soul, they make me think, and they get me taking action toward the things that I really want in my life.
About Words of Wisdom Wednesday
My intention with this project is to touch and use the superb printed resources that I have at my fingertips in my personal library. I also wish to share joy, positivity, wisdom, and inspiration. Finally, I love books, and I hope to help spread the word about some wonderful books and the authors who wrote them.
Today's words of wisdom come from Daria Halprin's book The Expressive Body in Life, Art and Therapy: Working with Movement, Metaphor and Meaning.
One of the best ways to engage the creative process, the unconscious, and the imagination is through art making. Looking at the process of making art as we have looked at the creative process, we find psychological principles and messages from the psyche at work. The process of making art and the artifact itself are both the means and the messages through which we encounter ourselves. Daria Halprin (2003) p. 90
For more information about creative movement in relation to art making, watch the video below.
If you are interested in the process of making art, I will be teaching a few live workshops this spring in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. I will have details posted on my blog, Orange Spiral Arts, early next week. I hope you will come back and find out the details for the class offerings.
Many blessings to you,
Briana
