This class examines creativity, aesthetics, and audience response (artist, artwork, and viewer) through diverse psychological theories. We proceed chronologically starting with Modernism, in the visual arts and psychoanalysis, which converged to catalyze the profession of Art Therapy. We conclude with Postmodernist discourses on gender, feminism, patriarchy, class, power, race, identity, and LGBTQTIA+ issues. The class is half seminar and half art experientials that are designed to facilitate students' deeper understanding of self-identity as art therapists.
