The Effects of Mural Making in Art Therapy on Community Cohesion (Not Eligible for CEs)
Posters (Not Eligible for Continuing Education)
Erin Poland
Currently, I am a 2nd-year grad student at Hofstra University. My interest includes working in crisis intervention with adolescents. My media of choice is typically collage, but I have recently been getting into sculpture with recycled material.
This research study will explore the need of community cohesion in society, and the role that art therapy plays in bringing various individuals together. Through mural-making, it is anticipated that feelings of community cohesion will increase, providing a sense of belonging and strengthening one’s identity in a group setting.
