WHY TO USE ART AS AN ASSESSMENT TOOL

Art is a mean of communication, and is an important means of expression of any experience, or of any aspect of the human condition.

Art help to explore the unconscious mind of a person.

THE CONCEPT OF THE CONSCIOUS, SUBCONSCIOUS, AND UNCONSCIOUS MIND

Sigmund Freud, created a useful model of the mind, which he separated into 3 tiers or sections:

the conscious mind, the subconscious, and the unconscious mind.

The conscious mind communicates to the outside world and the inner self through speech, pictures, writing, physical movement, and thought.

Page 7: Art As An Assessment Tool and As An Intervention

The subconscious mind, on the other hand, is in charge of our recent memories, and is in continuous contact with the resources of the unconscious mind.

The unconscious mind is the storehouse of all memories and past experiences, both those that have been repressed through trauma and those that have simply been consciously forgotten and no longer important to us. It’s from these memories and experiences that our beliefs, habits, and behaviors are formed.
