Artmaking and Visual Journaling at a Community Cancer Resource Center
Eva V. Coker
Art Education, v77 n3 p34-41 2024
Cancer is an overwhelming and life-altering diagnosis. Receiving this type of diagnosis typically requires traditional medical therapeutics, but relaxation and healing techniques that reduce stress and calm fears are also beneficial. Artmaking and visual journaling are healing techniques used to improve emotional and psychological health among cancer patients (Barrett, 2011; Collie et al., 2006; Heiney et al., 2015; Predeger, 1996). A community setting can offer individuals creative and transformative visual arts experiences that promote healing and lifelong learning (Lawton & La Porte, 2013).
