FATA Cruise
 |
| 2nd Year Art Therapy Students with Marcia Rosal and Dave Gussak |
The Florida Art Therapy Association’s Conference Cruise was
a huge success! Attendees arrived from
over 9 states to participate in the 4-day conference that traveled from Miami
to the Bahamas. The Department of Art
Education’s Art Therapy Program had 12 students and 2 faculty members in
attendance. Dr. Dave Gussak presented on
the use of art as evidence in a capitol murder case.
Dr. Marcia Rosal presented about the use of
museums as a tool in art therapy.

| Meredith McMakin and Rachel Mims |
Two students also presented at the conference. On Friday evening Rachel Mims presented on conducting an art journal swap for self-care.
She then had the conference attendees participate in a mini-art journal
swap that took place until the last evening of the conference. Three small journals were handed out to
attendees who used whatever art materials they had brought or could find to
make art before passing the journal to another conference attendee. Many attendees stated that they enjoyed seeing
the art created by others and that they were going to use the idea with their
clients.

| 1st Year FSU Art Therapy Students |
On Saturday evening Meredith McMackin and Rachel Mims
presented about the utilization of papermaking as a trauma intervention when
working with veterans. The presentation
detailed a workshop that was conducted at Veterans Village in June 2013. Participants were given information about the
paper making process and then were able to utilize several techniques to create
images on hand-made paper. Many
attendees encouraged Meredith and Rachel to present on this topic at
the National level.
