More on Creative Expression Art

Creative Expression Art studios are used by children and adults.  Some focalizers work only with adults, some only with children, some with mixed groups of adults and children.  Most studios are run as private practices. Increasingly they exist as part of schools and nurseries.

 Usually groups have up to seven participants. Sessions take place once a week in a purpose-built studio. Weekend courses or one to one sessions may also be available. People may enjoy coming to the studio over an extended period of time. Participants come from all walks of life and range in age from four years upwards.

No example, praise, criticism or analysis is used in this work. Acceptance is a key attitude enabling development. Creative Expression Art can open up new potential in participants.

Creative Expression Art group work originally developed in France fifty years ago and spread to Switzerland and other European countries. In Switzerland and Germany it is called 'Ausdrucksmalen'. In England this work is almost unknown.
