Zain (13yrs) is attending Art Therapy for the first time this term with a keen interest in mask-making. Mask-making in Art Therapy can be a gentle, adaptable, and meaningful tool for helping people to express themselves in a way that is visual, creative, and tailored to meet individual needs. Making ‘Me Masks’ or ‘Mood Masks’ is a powerful way to explore identity and emotions
In session, Zain loosens up with some warm-up activity at the chalk board and a bit of playful, interactive fun with sensory, tactile material at the table before getting down to business and creating unique masks. He makes his own choices around design, colour and symbolism. Zain enjoys trying on his different masks in the Art Therapy space each week, adapting them to suit how he feels. Great work, Zain
