Collage Art Therapy CAT© a Gestalt Approach

 

Collage Art therapy 

The use of figurative and metaphorical language during the creation using collage techniques, helps to make changes, implement new options within the client's process, without having to work directly with the confrontation of the problem or conflict. Through collage, clients objectify their conflicts to put them in a different perspective and open future channels of communication. 

During this workshop you will:

• Know how to design the collage-work: kind of collages

1. Paper collage – One of the more basic forms of collage. Various pieces of paper gathered and put together to create a unique collage strictly from paper products.
2. Photomontage – whether done by hand or with the help of a computer, a photomontage is a collage of pictures or photos.
3. Painting collage – Gluing pieces to a canvas and then painting over and/or around those pieces on the canvas, thus creating an original and unique painting.
4. Wood collage – Create from pieces of wood, whether it be from scraps, old furniture, crates, barrels, house parts, driftwood, branches, sticks, bark, etc.
5. Digital collage – Using a computer to gather the visual pieces and put them together

• Discover how this tool will support the psychological process, revealing meaningful information about the clients’ inner world.
• Collages are visual artworks that are created by selecting magazine images, textured papers, or ephemera; cutting or altering these elements; and arranging and attaching them to a support such as paper or cardboard”. This kind of creation could be compared with clients' life and patterns.
• Uncovering the power of the creation with symbols, also the act of cutting and ripping images and gluing them together can be cathartic for some clients.
• Offering options to the client to communicate in a new language, collage art therapy work involves unconscious levels related to archetypes and collective unconscious .
• Adapting this tool to the client's age and emotional development
