In week four of creative skills, the class watched an art ability video. This video is extremely helpful for my future when facilitating art. The video gave me a variety of new ideas and artistic processes that will develop my professional identity. A long with watching the art ability video, the class got the opportunity to observe an art plan.

Week three:

I learned about the role of the facilitator when witnessing clients emerging creativity in week three on creative skills. My feelings towards the lecture were that it showed a great deal of satisfactory images created within the class, the facilitator explained how this is known as the process and is the main component of what art making is about. I am passionate about mental health recovery programmes, which grasped my attention to the article. I enjoyed reading the article as the art facilitators create extra research in the role of art making on mental health recovery. I think this article could have been improved by adding experiences as proof. f I was facilitating a group in the future, especially service users recovering from a mental health issue, I would use the following three step technique; experiment, explore and experience. These three steps were discussed in the video that was played whilst the class were art making. Following these steps allows a service user to follow a procedure, so that they can receive the best outlook of their art making, which will benefit their mental health recovery.

During the lecture on the role of the arts in care, I found the high levels of involvement of creativity to generate more social engagement. I endured a relaxing feeling as the atmosphere in the class was much happier and communication began to arise. I have established that I may need to contribute more to the lesson to reach my full potential for using creative arts in care. The class and lecturer created an energetic atmosphere in the room which helped me feel calm and included. I would feel confident in facilitating an art class like this.

Week one: In the creative skills lecture, I got to create my own art and mark making, which will assist me in my practice as a social care worker, whilst facilitating service users. I produced multiple pieces of art and mark making which I can add to my portfolio. I felt that by facilitating the class through means of art and mark making, that the atmosphere was much more energized yet focused. The music being played in the background helped me to engage more with the work, as it felt like a therapeutic approach to art and mark making.
