Cancer and Creativity: A free art workshop for cancer patients and survivors
Program Description
The Premiere Oncology Foundation, partnering with the Beckstrand Art Therapy program, present this exciting workshop.
Cancer and Creativity introduces cancer patients and cancer survivors to varied art materials and creative art techniques used to help create hope, express uncertainties, and elaborate on issues of illness and life changes. Multiple methods of artistic expression will be explored, including collage papers and fabrics, acrylic paints, water colors, oils and drawing materials, and three dimensional materials such as clay and wood will be explored.
Throughout the process participants will be encouraged to use art to express feelings, gain insight, search for new
goals, and explore family dynamics and other pertinent themes. No ability or previous experience is necessary,
only the willingness to use artistic expression as a route to discovery and healing.
Constructive feedback and group discussion about the artwork will follow the art making and foster insight and friendship.
