This activity also works well with different types of music. Students get a large piece of white paper.Have students pratice first. Play a heavy metal song and have them draw lines taht represent the sounds they hear. Then the same idea with classical. On the final paper have them assign colors to the sounds. Play 4 very different types of music and have them fill the page with lines.When they are finished they can paint the page or color it in. This activity helps them attach colors and lines to emotions. Pandora radio is great for this. I use instumental hip hop, classical, micheal Jackson(in moderation), and guitar rock. Its an extremely fun activity!

@Taylor, Feedburner is the easiest way to stay up to date with our articles. That allows you to subscribe to the site through a feed reader of your choice. It also allows you to sign up for email updates…and it only sends you an email when there is a new article. This is definitely the simplest way and shouldn’t change any information on your Google account.

Hello,
I tired to “sign up’ to get more information and to stay in touch with Art Therpy Ideas. I thought it would be simple. OMG!!! I was sent to some kind of ‘feed burner’ if I recall correctly, that had so much jargon, I had no idea what it was talking about and it wanted more information (most of which was a duplicate) that I had already given them. I already have a google account and I do not want it changed or reconstructed in a different way. I have never heard of any of these terms and feel very frustrated. This is a very twisted route for what ? I just wanted to stay in touch with updates and find out more specific of Art Therapy.
How can I continue to receive information about Art Therapy ( Mandalas in particular) in the SIMPLEST WAY and most straight forward way ?
Thank you for any help you can give me.

I been reading quite a bit about art therapy and i guess i will try this activity with my students. However i feel that it would be better if instrumental music be used as lyrics may divert the students from expressing their true self.

I’m curious to know what pieces of music people used for this activity?

I just finished reading the blog on “You gotta hear this art therapy activity.” It was really moving to reading the comments highlighted about how the third graders responded to this therapeutic technique, and espcially moving, was reading the teachers reflection… “aren’t third graders suppose to be thinking about rainbows and ponies….” It’s truly so heartbreaking to think that so many of us adults “think” that’s whats going on in their minds, however seldom do we take the time to ask them, let alone really listen to how it is they are currently expriencing the world. Its refreshing to read about how one teacher did. Thank you for sharing this experience.
