"Precious" Mixed Media on Paper


This piece was created for Clinical Art Therapy class, 2nd semester of the MAAT program at St Mary of the Woods.  
The directive was general- create a piece that reflects your idea of art therapy.
The specific technique is new, one that I am really enjoying, mixed media with chalk pastels.  I created a sketch, then a foundation of values using acrylic paints.  Then I finished the piece using graphite, chalk pastel stick and chalk pastel pencils.  The piece was sealed with matte spray sealant.  
The title of the piece is "Precious".   The piece reflects client  / therapist interaction; large eyes and hands & small mouth symbolize my views of the therapeutic platform.
