Description of MATA booth at Target Family Art Park:

The Maryland Art Therapy Association invites children and thier famiies to create art in response to their feelings. "My Feelings Are a Work of Art" will feature a background display of several posters depicting recognized artworks throughout history which employ colors, brushstrokes and images to evoke emotions in the child viewer. In addition graphic posters illustrating feelings with words and faces will guide children through the art-making.

Volunteers will assist children to choose an emotion, and a matching art material from 3 art stations: drawing, painting or found objects to complete 1 piece of artwork.

Children may leave their artworks to be displayed at the booth for pick up on Sunday during the drumming circle at 4pm.

Various handouts for parents prepared by AATA will be available. Art therapists with community practices are invited to bring and display thier services.

get involved with an exciting new Community Arts Journal!!

I am currently working on starting up a journal called Focusing on Community. The purpose of this journal is to draw attention to the importance of bringing art into the public realm. The journal will be broken up into three sections: Art Educators, Community Project Coordinators, and Public Artists. I am currently seeking submissions for the first issue of the journal, which will appear online, and if possible in hard copy in select locations on campus this fall semester. There are many ways in which you can contribute. Submissions may include an article on your beliefs of the benefits of community , a summary of a lesson or community project you have been involved with ( this could be discussing the project itself and the positive benefits that resulted), or even simply an image of a group art project or lesson with a paragraph explaining what it was. I will also be receiving submissions from MAT students and other MICA community members who bring art in to the public. My hope is that by creating this journal and having it readily available to the local community; we can promote the importance of art and influence artists who read it consider the possiblity of sharing their skills and talents with their local community.

If you are interested in making a sumbission please email me with a summary of what it is you would like to write about. If you are unsure or want to know more, you can send me an email with any questions and/or comments. I hope everyone is having a great summer and I look forward to hearing from you soon.


Best Regards,
