Dates: 3rd & 4th June 2014Time: 10am to 5pmVenue: Penang Performing Arts Centre, Straits Quay, Penang
Children use playful drawing as self-expression and means of communicating to the world around them. The images created bring out their innermost conflicts and emotions more efficiently and effectively than words could hope for.Image-making can communicate and provide critical embedded information such as the developmental level of the child, the child's approach to forming relationships, attachment issues, the child-parent relationship, traumatic experiences and their own distinctive perception of life experiences.
Image-making, through viewing and sharing what has been created provides a way for children to cope with emotional conflicts, increase awareness, and express unspoken and often unconscious concerns about life challenges they
may encounter.
Who should attend:
Appropriate for parents, early years/special needs teachers, experienced as well as creative arts/play therapists, counselors in training, psychology students and just about any individual who works with children and is interested in wanting to develop a more insightful understanding of children.
