My design goals are listed below.
1. Art as a way of knowing: I used visual arts media as a vehicle of academic contemplation and clinical experience as a PhD student in art therapy. I focused on the functioning of art as a way of knowing in order to research Evidence-based art therapy and to improve the philosophical foundation of art therapy.
2. Creative Process: I visualized the effectiveness of arts in achieving personal mental health. The self-care and self-examination which occurs through a creative process requires a professional approach.
3. Reflections on praxis: Art therapist’s art, which is response art to my clients and my therapeutic relationship with them. It is the byproduct of a reflecting process on my tacit knowledge.
I produced ambiguous forms with fluid media, such as ink dots and free-flowing ink streams, in order to enhance my intuitive symbolic formation.
According to Kagin & Lusebrink (1978b), a series of the images (called art journaling) that I was working on seemed to increase the ‘physiognomic thought processes’. “Physiognomic thought is related to the divination of aspects and characteristics of inanimate or abstract entities that occurs when clients imbue an image with personal meaning and project upon it personal or universal qualities” (Hinz, 2009, p.154).
