Medical fields involving some creativity?

April 22nd, 2010 | Category: art therapy activities


Are there any medical jobs out there that involve a mixture of creativity and health? I’ve thought of art therapy, an activities assistant at a nursing home, occupational therapy, etc. Are there more that I am missing?

I have always been a bit of a creative person and I have an interest in the health and medical field. I also have an interest in mental health. Combining health and creativity would be awesome. Any ideas?

pursuing art therapy?

April 16th, 2010 | Category: art therapy courses


I’m a third year college student finishing up for my B.A. in psychology and social behavior. As the time nears for me to decide what exactly I want to do with my degree, I’ve been looking into many different fields of psychology. I am particularily interested in the field of art and music therapy (more so art).

I’ve been searching, maybe not hard enough, but I’m having a hard time finding out recommended courses I can take as an undergrad to succeed at an AATA accredited grad school program for art therapy. I was thinking that I should take up art as a minor, but what field of art? Currently, my school offers degrees in: art history, arts and humanities, fine arts, and studio art.

What I would ultimately like to do is specialize in family, marriage or sex therapy with an additional certification in art therapy. I’d also like to end up teaching. Perhaps part time at a city college or so.

I’d really appreciate any info anybody can provide me with. Thanks in advance!!!

Do I need a degree in Art to become an Art teacher?

April 16th, 2010 | Category: art therapy activities


Hi everyone, I’ve asked questions on here and found people to be so helpful. I’m 32 and have just completed an MA in Creative Arts Therapy(main focus was Drama, but the medium is very broad..used a lot of art activities such as puppetry, pottery, and drawing/imaging and I’ve also taken workshops in Art therapy) in the Uk. I’ve a liberal Arts degree in English, Sociology and Politics. I also have a higher diploma in Drama Education and Tefl. I’ve been in Education for five years, working as a one to one tutor with autistic children, and have also taught Drama and English as a foreign language. My goal is to teach a subject I’m passionate about, which has always been art but I got sidetracked. My query is can I do an MA in Art education or would I need an undergrad in Art or an Art related degree? I intend to return and study in the States in order to do so. I’m sorry that I rambled around the question, and appreciate any advice..
