Oasis Art Creative Pathways:
​
Creative Pathways are designed for children, adolescents and adults. Individual or group sessions are available.
​
What are Artistic Creative Pathways?
Artistic Creative Pathways are an integrative mental health pathway that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making and creative process. Artistic Creative Pathway sessions are used to improve cognitive and sensorimotor functions, foster self-esteem and self-awareness, cultivate emotional resilience, promote insight, enhance social skills, reduce and resolve conflicts and distress, and advance behavioural change.
You don't need to be a flourishing artist to enjoy the benefits of therapeutic art. Rather the value of these
sessions is discovered through the therapeutic nature of the creative process. Hence, no prior art knowledge or experience is required.
​
Through the use of creative processes such as drawing, painting, clay, illustration and printmaking, individuals are encouraged to explore coping strategies, resilience and wellbeing as they use art to evaluate and express feelings, that at times can be too emotionally loaded for verbal communication.
​
Benefits of Artistic Creative Pathways:
​
These sessions help individuals to:
​
-
express feelings that may be difficult to verbalise.
-
explore imagination and creativity.
-
relax and de-stress.
-
develop self-awareness, self-esteem and confidence.
-
increase communication skills.
-
manage behaviours and/or symptoms.
-
improve motor skills and physical coordination.
-
solve problems by looking with a different perspective.
-
restore healthy functioning and provide mastery amidst feelings of helplessness.
-
address issues of hopelessness as individuals are offered an outlet to channel their anxiety and aggression in an art making process.
Artistic Creative Pathway sessions use a range of art materials in two and three-dimensional forms. The art activities promote problem-solving skills and creatively address emotional and social needs of each individual including depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-esteem challenges and behavioural challenges.
