Since art therapy is only discovered in recent years, we want to combine this new form of art and the traditional chinese calligraphy together to create a new style of art therapy. We chose this topic because all three of our group mates are familiar with chinese calligraphy and we want to integrate the use of generative AI into this magazine production.
The goal we are intending to reach is to integrate traditional art style and art therapy that will help mentally distressed people improve their mental health and express their thoughts and concern through art. The abilities we want to learn is to use generative AI with the production of art therapy images as well as integrating different style of art into our art therapy images.
We planned to do research on art therapy in the first few weeks since it is not a widely known type of psychological therapy. Then, we planned to brainstorm the layout and content of the magazine for around 2 weeks, and we spent the remaining time to actually create the magazine on Canva. During the process, however, due to the cycling trip in 10th grade, our schedules are delayed, so we decided to work on the actual content while brainstorm at the same time.

I feel like the production process of the magazine helped us understand more about art therapy, chinese calligraphy, and generative AI, as well as how different types of artistic expression can assist the mentally depressed with overcoming stress and anxiety.
