FSU ATA is student run organization on the campus of Florida State University, that believes in the intrinsic value of art and its importance as a social good and as a catalyst for the development of the individual. We are dedicated to serving the community of Tallahassee - through creating community public murals and through engaging in the arts with community non-profits. We always welcome new members.
The posts on this blog represent the thoughts of the students and not the Florida State University. We created this blog to raise awareness of art therapy and the FSU ATA organization within the community.
"Art therapy is the therapeutic use of art making, within a professional relationship, by people who experience illness, trauma or challenges in living, and by people who seek personal development. Through creating art and reflecting on the art products and processes, people can increase awareness of self and others cope with symptoms, stress and traumatic experiences; enhance cognitive abilities; and enjoy the life-affirming pleasures of making art." - Art Therapy Association
