My little Artist

We discovered this amazing therapy group here in town. We signed up Brett for 2 camps, one of which was "Creative Arts Community". It was art therapy, but with about 4 other kids. He loved it, grew close with the other kids, and I grew close with some of the moms while we waited in the waiting room (play area, really!).
At the end of the 8 weeks, they displayed all the artwork in the hallway for a little "Art Show". It was neat to see the things they worked on individually & as a group.
The therapist was an amazing person who is also the owner of "Sky's the Limit Studio,LLC". You can check out her website here. She has all sorts of resources for art & autism on her site! I wish every kid (with special needs or not) had opportunities to explore their creative side. It is GREAT therapy even for me.
Since the original post, I have added the above pictures - of his body tracing & the famous "puffy paint art". I discovered that clay & puffy paint weren't Brett's medium of expertise. But I know that with art therapy, it's not the finished product that matters, it's the process of creating it. I was told that the red & white clay ball I saw originally was a person... but I'm sure Brett couldn't keep from continuing to play with it - thus the little ball I saw. (Sorry, no photos of the ball of clay.)

After Brett's art show, we celebrated by getting some TCBY. I thought Libby & I could share the cup of vanilla yogurt w/ gummy bears... but she shrieked if I even came close. Saved me some calories... but next time I'll get my own. :)
