I am a patient here at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Ceneter in Cincinati, Ohio. And while I was in the child life in the activity center, one of the parents from my same unit as me suggested a career like job besides me really wanting to be a child life specialist. I was wondering what kind of information I should know about.School and colleges locations that are local or well known colleges, information, what art therapy entitles, education wise,volunteer work, and degrees etc and also your own experience. Thanks again and cant wait to see everyones response to my email. Make sure you say that you are talking about my comment(”Holly Lapper, Cincinnati Childrens, Art Therapy”). Please and Thank you.
Holly Lapper, Cincinnati Childrens, Art Therapy
Hello- Holly! I also live in the Cincinnati area and am interested in art therapy. I am an art teacher and was interested in getting a masters in art therapy. Unfortunately I was not able to find a program within my area. I am unable/ willing to move for school. I did see a program at St Mary’s of the Woods that was part online and part in class. I ended up enrolling in graduate school for special education online. I figured that would allow me to work in a school setting using art in a way that is beneficial to special needs.
As far volunteer work goes, I would look into gaining experience at museums (Cincinnati art museum may need some extra help), community centers, art galleries. Anything that allows you to gain experience in the art world as well as develop relationships with people.
Don’t forget to work on your own artwork as well. Take classes, learn about new artist, read art history, explore different mediums.
Best of luck and best wishes!
I really enjoyed reading both of your comments. I too am very interested in a career in Art Therapy. As a current cosmetologist/ hair stylist I have truly seen how color and inner expressions can truly make breakthroughs in anyone’s life. Thank you for the ideas of volunteer work and reading up on art history. I wish you both the best of luck with any career you choose.
