Surprise! It’s the 3rd week of our PYPX and we have finalized our 3 line of inquiry, finally! We also had to email our mentor that will be grouped with us in our PYPX. It turned out that our mentor Madame Nadine, actually has a tutor for art therapy so my group and I decided that we will be going to take an art therapy session with our mentor so we can actually get to know what’s happening. We have finalized and finished our research. Moving on, we also decided to make a ppt for our secondary students and primary students just so they can experience some serenity from all that energy being put into such fun but stressful things. Yet again, no fights have happened and we are all on a roll of what we are individually doing as a group. Yet again no fights have approached my group and I and we are hoping and are worried for what’s to come ahead.

Week 4

diab230347 — 2024-05-06 08:26:57 UTC

This week was very…interesting

We have finished a lot of things on our list, which I honestly couldn’t be more relieved about.We even and finally contacted an Art therapy company called Art therapy International centre.The following days were great but the struggle was real. Why did we have struggles? Unfortunately, a big “storm” was going to erupt. Fortunately, our teacher (Mrs Shabana) let us take our math books home so we could finish everything there. Yeah it was a bit boring but at least we got and understood everything! Excited for our journey and where it will come to!

Week 4

diab230204 — 2024-05-06 08:27:30 UTC

Believe it or not this we did a lot of stuff this week and it was not easy. We are having trouble finding Art therapy International Centre. We have still not found it. Not gonna lie we are going on the right track but we still have a lot of things to do. Thursday and Friday there was online school(because of the rain) and I did not like it we can’t see each other visually and in school we are active at home we are lazy in our beds.

How do art therapy sessions differ from other forms of therapy?

diab230204 — 2024-05-06 12:39:33 UTC

Music therapy Music therapy assists people to feel better utilising music, like listening to music, making your own music or singing music.Art therapy Doing art, seeing it, feeling it and talking about how it helps people cope with emotional feelings and self-awareness.Imaginary therapy Imagery is a form of distraction. It involves mental exercises designed to read the mind to influence the health and well-being of the body. Imagining it all.
So art therapy is different as it is putting whatever is in your mind and putting it on paper.

Thinking skill

diab230204 — 2024-05-06 12:43:51 UTC

We have used our thinking skills as we are the one who have thought about all of things, we are standing here with, with some guidance from our home room teacher (Ms. Shabana), our mentor (Madame Nadine),our pyp coordinator (Ms. Sonali).

Research skills

diab230204 — 2024-05-06 12:46:09 UTC

We can prove we have used our researching skills as through this inquiry, we have had to research to find this information and have had to look at trustable websites so that we knew the information was not fake and we also of course did use interviews of professionals in art therapy to gather some information.

Communication skills

diab230204 — 2024-05-06 12:48:54 UTC

We showcased our communication skills throughout this beautiful journey by discussing our ideas with each other and other adults.We also showcased our communication skills while conducting, taking the interview of the professional art therapist and taking our action of spreading awareness of art therapy as we presented and talked to the kids in smaller grades and asked the teachers if we can come in their classroom at Islamic time and if it was a yes (which it was), which time.

Can you describe a typical Art therapy session?

diab230204 — 2024-05-07 07:26:55 UTC

Art therapy sessions are calm. They say the feelings come out more when you draw from your left hand. In an art therapy first we meditate then we choose the colours we want and start drawing after we our done we reflect on what we have drew and what we see in our art.

Self - Management skills

diab230204 — 2024-05-07 10:32:27 UTC

We have applied our self management skills by trying our best to be organized like the box, we kept all our things in, we tried to keep it as organized as possible.We also deployed our self management skills by setting goals for us each week that we use the time wisely.

Social skills

diab230204 — 2024-05-07 10:33:47 UTC

We have applied our social skills by listening to everybody’s opinion and not just ours and also by not going for only one way or one person’s way but trying other’s ways, multiple ways.We have also utilized our social skills by listening to other’s advice and reflecting upon it to make our work even better.Lastly, when we had fights, we resolved them by ourselves and did not make anybody feel bad about it.If they did, we did try to make it up to them

1)Art therapy encourages the vulnerability of humans through the expression of art. This happens because it opens up all of their emotions. Mostly sadness,stress,insanity and more. During art therapy, it also helps people to stop with comparison and self-judgement.Helping them manage their problems without developing a fixed mindset.

2)Using the usage of symbols, Art therapy will help people approach traumatic or obsessive thoughts,relationships and memories. This may facilitate the consolidation of experiences of people through a therapeutic and artistic pathway.

3)Research has shown that a lot of art therapists around the world located in: Africa, The Middle East, Asia and Taiwan with other diverse areas around the globe. Moving on, a lot of patients that have conducted lessons of art therapy have improved and unlocked: A growth mindset, cognitive functions and abilities, self esteem, confidence and more. Reducing the stress and problems, now sprouting into a new solution.

4)Not only do parents and adults struggle with stress, but teenagers and children to. Unfortunately, Adults have more verbal skills then children do. As for children, it is easier for them to communicate with others and to get along, but for adults…not so much. Although, Art therapy is a better and bigger impact for children than adults because of, feelings/emotion, behavior and more. Adults benefit less as although they have those verbal skills that us children might not have.

5)Art therapy can help people notice the mistakes they had and all the traumatic memories they have been through. This will impact in a good way more than it will than in a bad way. (FACT) More than 650 million people have enjoyed art therapy and have learnt well from it. With the help of Therapeutic Psychology, our developing population will commence a new, cleaner, civil life.

Week 5 and 6

diab230347 — 2024-05-13 03:26:17 UTC

So far So good!
During week 5 we have finished 2 of our actions, now is that great or what?! Our first actioned was toured around the whole school giving visits to different classes and grades, along our 2nd action, we had a REAL-LIFE experience with an actual art therapist. Funny enough, the therapist was actually our French teachers (Madame Nadine) friend! No fights whatsoever just mini quarrels that have set place during the following weeks. So far we are focusing on our main thing, the board, the canva, the jobs and more. We are almost done with finalizing our board, finishing our printing! But there is still one thing, and that is our presentation, what if I stutter? What if I forget my part? What if I talk too much!!! Continuing, I am neutral about this whole PYPX project and am hoping for the best, now I will leave, bye!

Week 5 and 6

diab210396 — 2024-05-13 12:09:16 UTC

In week 5 we finished our 2 actions.and We present to Grade 1 grade 2 grade 3 and grade 4. We started our canva. We also did a session of art therapy with a professor art therapist l like it and l like the new express.

Week 6 we finally started our bord and we printed all of the canva and we did not have any fight. but we small fight but we manage to fix it. We did not have a mentor Meeting on week 6.

Week 5 and 6

diab200234 — 2024-05-22 04:48:08 UTC

It’s week 5 and 6 and guess what we did till now, we started with our actions! We started spreading awareness about art therapy, finished it by the end of the week, oh! And don’t forget about the session of art therapy with a professional art therapist, I enjoyed it so much and expressed all my emotions on the paper but we focused more on doing our canva in week 6, it was a lot of hard work and it was tiring but I was really happy how it turned out.Although, we didn’t have any major or minor fights, we did have a bit of arguments but then somehow managed to solve it and agree on one thing.Last things last, we didn’t have our mentor meeting in week 6 as Ms. Sonali came in the time of that but it is fine as we didn’t really need guidance so we just discussed a couple of important points with her.Overall, week 5 and 6 was fun but tiring and we finished a lot of work.

Week 5

diab230204 — 2024-05-22 04:49:13 UTC

In week 5 we finished two of our actions one of them included going around the school and doing class visits personally I loved it specially with smaller kids in each class we took about 20 to 25 minutes I tried to be as active and fun as I could to not make the children feel bored. Our second action was doing a session with and professional art therapist that miss Nadine introduced us to. In which we had to take out all our feeling the paper. It was very calming and relaxing we stared with a meditation then did our painting and then we wrote what we saw in our painting.

Week 6

diab230204 — 2024-05-22 04:51:40 UTC

In week 6 we focused more on our Canva so we can get every thing finished and printed on our Canva and then next week we can get our board started. We did have a mentor meeting this week on Thursday, but we could not attend it as Miss Sonali was coming in our class to give us some tips about the PYP Exhibition. We did have some very minor arguments, but nothing big or major.

Week 7

diab200234 — 2024-05-23 04:28:19 UTC

The second last week of the exhibition and on Thursday it’s the big day which we have been preparing for 7 weeks now and almost 8.We have been finishing our canva, preparing and finishing our board and practicing to present. Oh! And the most frustrating and last thing, calling agencies, they saying they will reply and they don’t so they also say call us like literally! Anyways, that’s what we did for this week!

Week 7

diab230347 — 2024-05-23 10:10:41 UTC

2 Words, fun…boring…
It is the 7th week of our PYPX and time is flying…
So far we have finished off our canva and our board. We still have some things due but I think our teamwork management will help finish them off. We are now practicing presenting and have contacted diverse companies until we came across one (lotus), we have sent an email to them and have called twice, once to the receptionist, and two which is the manager. We are now working onto a fun well-being game known as bingo. Luckily, we are already finishing that off with the help of our teammate (gauri) and are moving onto a new checklist. We are also going on I wouldn't say field trip but a meeting with the art therapists there. I’m excited to see how this PYPX is going to go!

Week 7

diab210396 — 2024-05-23 10:29:56 UTC

Now it is week 7 I can’t believe that so much time has passed by super quick and now you only have four days left for the exhibition. I am kind of excited but mostly nervous we finished our board and our Canva and now the only thing left is our action and practicing presenting We call another company saumaya and Gauri will go to the company on Saturday and book a appointment on Sunday if they’re open But I hope we complete our action.
