A Creative Guide to Exploring Your Life

Self-Reflection Using Photography, Art, and Writing

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a structured guide to exploring identity and what you want from life using a series of visual and written exercises. The authors demonstrate techniques for self-exploration and self-expression in order to better understand who you are, where you come from, how you think, and how you define your values and goals. Topics for the exercises, which are illustrated with examples of students' work, include turning points and major influences, family traditions, roles you play, core values, alternative views of yourself, goals for your future, and the impact of gender, race, and ethnicity on identity. The final chapter guides the reader through the process of putting together a "self-portrayal" ??? a personal mixed-media journal-inspired work that ties together all of the elements touched on in the exercises. This book will be of interest to arts therapists, counselors, and anyone looking to understand their own identity.
