Lecture Series: Art Therapy

I attended the lectures given by, Dr. Harriet Bachner + Melinda Ledlow, Jessica Stallings + Dr. Gaelynn Wold Bordonaro, Dr. Janice Jewett, Josie Mai and last but not least the presentaion given by Maria Lupo. All around this was my favorite lecture series presented so far. The content in each lecture spoke to me on a personal level. Not that long ago I found myself in a stage of an anxiety filled depression. I attemped to create a piece of work a day and instead of storing them away I hung the artwork on my blank walls. The change in scenery brought inspirtation and helped create a more positive outlook on life.

Now I am surrounded by two best friends and a sister in the medical field. There experiences with patients has been a great influence on me. I had looked into the occupation of Art Therapy in the past but after the lecture series, I plan to visit Emporia State University this Spring to check out all they have to offer.

Welcome!

Welcome to Lauren Downing's Art Blog. I am currently a student at Pittsburg State University. My major is Commercial Art and my minor is Graphic Design. Before Pitt State I attended Kansas City, Kansas Community College and took a semester at Kansas University. This is my first semester enrolled in Commercial Art course and I hope to gain a better understanding of which direction I want to go. I have mostly taken drawing classes and feel that that is where I am the strongest. Charcoal is my favorite medium and I enjoy drawing from a realistic point of view. This semester I hope to expand my knowledge and venture into new areas in order to progress as an artist. Lauren A.Downing
