On March 2009, The Mobile Museum of Art will feature the traveling exhibit Picturing Health - original oil paintings by Norman Rockwell that explore the subjects of the doctor/patient relationships, physical fitness, and health and healing across the generations. Rockwell’s paintings are accompanied by more recent artworks by some of today’s prominent visual commentators exploring similar themes in a contemporary perspective. Art therapy is a mental health profession that uses the creative process of art making (drawing, painting, sculpture, and other art forms) to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight.
In conjunction with this exhibit, the Mobile Museum of Art, in collaboration with The Learning Tree, Inc. will present a two-part program on The second part of the event would involve a tour of the Museum’s Rockwell exhibit. Seminar participants would have an opportunity to work with museum educators in completing the accompanying art activity. Please take a look at the accompanying information about this unique event. Spaces are limited, reservations are required, and Professional Development Hours Certificates will be offered.
