The Healing Power of Art

My 9-12 Art students were asked to scroll through works of Art found on the Metropolitan Museum of Art's website, and select two that made them feel relaxed and happy. With the artwork on their screen for at least fifteen minutes they wrote about how the art helped them feel better. The artworks they chose, and some commentaries, are in a power point that I will show on a shared Zoom screen. Workshop participants can also engage in the same process of selecting a work of art that provides comfort during this difficult time and sharing their choices with the group.
