Fiber Art as Therapy | Prairie Mosaic Shorts

Encourage students to embrace art as a powerful therapeutic tool for expressing and processing challenging emotions. Kristi Swee Kuder, a fiber and wire mesh artist from Battle Lake, Minnesota, shares how she discovered her artistic voice after her son was diagnosed with schizophrenia and how her art has helped her cope with the grief she feels. Whether your students are creating visual art, poetry, music, or other forms of expression, use this resource to inspire them to draw upon their own life experiences to communicate their feelings, find their unique voice, and connect with others on a deeper level.
